Meet Matt
Upon receiving his law degree, Matt accepted a position as a litigation associate with the Dallas office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, one of the nation's premier law firms that is perhaps best known for its successful representation of President George W. Bush in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Bush v. Gore, which effectively determined the result of the contested 2000 election. Matt worked at Gibson Dunn until 2006, when he accepted a position as a litigation associate at the Dallas office of Hughes & Luce. In January 2010, Matt joined the firm of Miller, Egan, Molter & Nelson LLP, where he currently practices in its litigation section. During his career, Matt has litigated and assisted in litigating numerous complex commercial, securities, antitrust, intellectual property and insurance coverage lawsuits in state and federal court involving amounts in controversy as high $4.5 billion. Matt has also developed and instructed a continuing legal education course on motion practice in Texas courts and has published articles in the Texas Business Litigation Journal. As a recognition of his professional achievements, Matt was selected as a Texas Monthly Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2006 and 2007.
In his spare time, Matt enjoys playing ice hockey and studying American history. |
