He qualified as a solicitor in July 2022, although he has significant pre-qualification experience handling a varied caseload of family matters.

Experience:
Matt undertakes work in all areas of family law, with a particular passion for cases involving the arrangements for and wellbeing of children. Matt understands that visiting a family lawyer is one of the last things his clients could have imagined themselves doing. With this in mind he always puts his clients first and strives to be approachable and empathetic, whilst providing clear, honest, and realistic advice.
Matt is a member of Resolution and strives to work collaboratively to resolve matters without the need for litigation wherever possible. In those matters where litigation becomes inevitably necessary, he adopts a pragmatic but robust approach to best represent his clients’ interests.
Favourite Testimonial:
“The service I received from Matthew was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge and understanding on all matters were exceptional even in my not so straightforward case. Upon any time of making contact, he was able to delve straight into the details of the case of the case and answer my questions immediately. At every stage, I felt as if he was 100% on the ball with the case. A genuinely exceptional service”
Interests/Hobbies:
Away from work Matt is a keen golfer, and enjoys spending time with his friends and family. He particularly enjoys walking in the countryside and trips to the beach with his wife and their Labradoodle, Monty.
