Matt grew up on Minnesota's Iron Range--an area of the state revered for its hard-working families and community values. He applies those same principles to handling claims for his clients. Before entering the legal world, Matt worked as a carpenter building homes for families throughout the state. He knows firsthand how an injury can upend a family's stability when it sidelines clients who rely on their bodies to put bread on the table. Matt has strong ties to the northern suburbs, especially Anoka and Coon Rapids, and is devoted to ensuring everyone has access to the best legal representation. Matt is a tenacious advocate who takes great pride in achieving justice for the injured."In today's world, you cannot count on someone who has harmed you, or even your own insurance company, to offer you the compensation you deserve after suffering a loss. Justice must be earned. In most cases, it's an uphill battle that requires dedication, devotion, and personal attention. It's critical that clients know their rights and understand the process at every step of the way. The most important thing to me is that my clients are satisfied and that we've taken care of them in their time of need. I consider myself lucky to work in a profession – and with a law firm – that strives to make a real difference for clients and their families."
