Matt’s work as a Texas construction litigation attorney is as rewarding as it is challenging. Matt truly enjoys untangling the complexities of multiparty construction disputes and helping his clients resolve their problems. When a dispute arises, Matt is responsible for absorbing, analyzing, and communicating what has occurred and then weighing the best strategies for advancing the client’s interests. In doing so, he contemplates the wide array of potential outcomes while simultaneously evaluating critical considerations—including financial issues, liability concerns, and the relationships and reputations of the parties involved. All of these factors inform Matt’s approach to negotiating a reasonable resolution that meets his clients’ business goals.

More specifically, Matt handles legal research, drafts substantive pleadings and motions, briefs cases, and above all, masters and organizes the facts for each construction dispute. Matt is a skilled writer, and he excels at using written advocacy to translate convoluted situations into clear legal arguments. When drafting motions, pleadings, or correspondence, Matt distills the situation down to the issues that matter most, bringing the dispute into actionable focus and allowing genuine engagement, negotiation, and resolution to begin.

In his spare time, Matt is a music junkie with a diverse collection of vinyl records. He’s also a dedicated reader of fiction, watcher of films, and explorer of the outdoors—both in Austin and around the country.
