About Matthew Woods

Matt Woods earned his Juris Doctor from Salmon P. Chase College of Law where he attended the evening division as an adult professional. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Business from Thomas More College. Matt completed a two-year legal apprenticeship prior to licensure under the direct guidance of John R. Kummer, longtime Northern Kentucky attorney and former Kenton County Deputy Master Commissioner.

Prior to attending law school, Matt worked for a private group of international consumer brands and overseas manufacturing partners. In this role, he engaged in product and brand development strategies for the United States retail market. Matt worked alongside the major retail corporate offices of home centers, mass merchants, and wholesale clubs. Matt quickly became well-versed in consumer products compliance standards issued by Underwriters Laboratory (UL), U.S. Department of Energy, and state-level consumer product laws, primarily in California.

Matt’s extensive experience in brand development and international business operations gives him the ability to adapt to his various clients’ needs. What led Matt to become a lawyer was part of a career evolution that gave him 20+ years of valuable and practical experience before he ever stepped foot inside a law school. Matt decided to pursue a career in law so that he could better engage in work that serves a meaningful purpose. Matt discovered that he wanted to invest his time in providing legal services to those in his local community and retire his frequent flyer status for a life spent closer to home.

Matt is married to his amazing wife, Erika, of over 15 years and together they have a teenage son and daughter. Matt credits Erika for his success and believes that his professional journey would not be possible without her support. In his free time, Matt plays guitar and piano, enjoys trips to Costco, and seeks out new restaurants in the area.

Practice Areas

  • Business + Deal Negotiations
  • Developing a solid business plan with a best-foot-forward approach creates the best chance for success. The day-to-day dealings, future planning, and growth-minded tasks require careful navigation.

  • Civil Disputes + Litigation
  • Resolving disputes outside of court is generally the first option, but when relationships and discussions breakdown, filing a civil suit may be a last resort to seek recovery.

  • Contract Drafting + Review
  • Whether crafting a contract from scratch or fine-tuning one already in front of you, the language can make-or-break the obligations of performance.

  • Divorce + Separation
  • When a relationship is irretrievably broken, a divorce is likely to follow. While children should be put first, your personal and financial interests should also be well-represented in the proceedings.

  • Family + Children
  • Navigate adoption, child custody and visitation, paternity, or wrongful allegations of dependency, neglect, or abuse (DNA), in the best interest of the child.

  • Landlord + Real Estate
  • Ensure strict compliance with Fair Housing (HUD), Uniform Residential Landlord & Tenant Act (URLTA) jurisdictions, and Kentucky Law as a provider of residential housing.

  • Marriage Planning + Prenups
  • Preparing for the big day includes more than just a tall wedding cake. A well-developed marriage plan can make for an easier transition should things not work out as intended.

  • Probate + Estate Admin
  • Losing someone we love can come with many responsibilities. Be compassionately guided through the process, one step at a time.

  • Wills + POAs + Trusts
  • Develop a plan that ensures your final wishes are accomplished. Cash and investments, real estate, and child custody preferences can all be outlined in skillfully-crafted estate planning documents.
