Having gained a wealth of experience in all matters of parenting, property and domestic violence, Matt is passionate about helping clients through one of the most difficult and challenging ‘life events’ one can experience.

Matt works tirelessly for his clients, grounding his approach in pragmatism and a strong understanding of the commercial realities people face when engaging Law Firms, aiming to resolve disputes as expeditiously as possible. On occasions where a negotiated outcome can’t be achieved, Matt is a strong and experienced advocate having regularly appeared before Courts around the country.  

Matt graduated from Queensland University of Technology in 2012, attaining a Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Business and completing a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice. Prior to answering the call to practice Law, Matt worked in small business which gives him a particularly strong understanding of complex property matters, especially where Trusts are involved.
