About Matthew Meyer

Matthew Meyer earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2008 as a political science major. He earned his Juris Doctor from Marquette University Law School in 2012, where he was actively involved in the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinic and the Marquette University Small Claims Mediation Clinic. During his final year of law school Mr. Meyer interned with the Wisconsin State Public Defender Trial Office.

Upon graduation from law school Mr. Meyer joined a small, Milwaukee-based criminal defense law firm. He quickly established his skill and dedication to criminal defense, but was limited by the opportunities presented at that firm.  In 2014, Mr. Meyer left that office and founded Meyer Law Office.  From the very beginning his focus was on the client and providing better representation to individuals facing criminal convictions.  Eventually Meyer Law Office grew to capacity.  In order to continue providing top notch criminal defense, Mr. Meyer brought an old colleague to the firm.  Mr. Meyer knew Benjamin Van Severen from his time at Birdsall Law Offices and knew that Van Severen provided the kind of representation to clients that Mr. Meyer strove for.  In December 2015 Meyer and Van Severen started Meyer Van Severen, S.C.  In 2018, Meyer Van Severen grew to three attorneys with the addition of Matt Last.
