Get to Know Matt

Balancing Life and Law

When he’s not serving his clients, Matt loves skiing, biking and spending time outdoors, experiencing all the beauty that Colorado has to offer. He also enjoys working on some easy-to-manage home renovation projects. After working in home construction during high school and college, he’s tried to apply those skills to his own home (with mostly positive results).

Matt also spends his free time involved in a wide variety of youth sports programs, coaching and taking his daughters to practices and competitions across the state and helping them pursue their passion for swimming, tennis and basketball.

Matt graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law.  During law school, he was selected as a member of the school’s moot court team and was elected by his peers to serve as a representative on the school’s student bar association. After graduating with honors, Matt was commissioned as a military officer and served nearly two decades as an active duty attorney in the United States Air Force, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. During his military career, Matt served in assignments around the globe, assisting military members and their families in overcoming a variety of legal challenges.  As a military defense counsel, he represented and fought for service members in over 150 felony-level trials and other administrative proceedings, protecting his clients’ rights and obtaining positive outcomes in the most complex criminal cases in the Air Force.

In 2025, Matt transitioned away from the active duty military and to civilian legal practice in the beautiful State of Colorado. He brings with him extensive negotiation, litigation and trial advocacy skills and the same mission-focused mentality that helped him succeed as a military attorney. Matt has significant experience guiding clients through the most challenging of legal circumstances and stands ready to guide you through the family law process and achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.
