About Michael Matthews

I have been licensed to practice law in Texas since 1977.

I primarily practice in the areas of construction, business entities and real estate. I believe in hard work and being prepared. My work life began at age 14 as a laborer on pipeline construction and in the oilfields. I continued working construction throughout college and law school. As the son of a second generation contractor and growing up in the construction field, I am comfortable with the evolution of the industry from a handshake agreement to the complex construction contracts of the present day.

I have been involved in a wide variety of cases throughout all stages of the legal process. I strive to provide straightforward and direct advice to our clients in the hopes of proactively managing risks. Experience has proven to be a time and money saver for the client in my ability to realize the key issues in order to achieve a prompt and successful outcome.

We represent a diverse group of businesses and people located both in and outside of Texas. I genuinely like my clients and enjoy the long-lasting relationships that have developed from working side by side with them and being personally involved in achieving their goals. In many respects, we are a general service law firm with the ability to handle many matters as well as the connections to bring in others should the circumstances dictate.

I have neither applied for nor sought board certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specializations.
