About

I am an associate attorney at Conybeare Law Office and manage the worker’s compensation and Social Security departments. I became interested in worker’s compensation law while working as a truck driver, warehouseman, and tree cutter while paying my way through school. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in Aviation Science and Administration (B.S., 2003). I decided to go to law school where my grandfather went, Detroit-Mercy Law School (J.D., 2007) and became focused on personal injury law after a cousin was killed in an industrial accident. I worked closely with Timothy Kragt and Len Smit to develop the necessary skills and expertise to handle worker’s compensation and Social Security claims. Conybeare Law Office merged with Smit & Kragt in 2009 to create the largest full-service personal injury law firm in Southwest Michigan.I have been elected twice by my peers to the State Bar of Michigan Worker's Compensation Section Council. In 2014, I was selected as a “Rising Star” in Michigan worker’s compensation law. The selection process by “Super Lawyers” included independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. Less than 2.5% of lawyers in a state are selected as “Rising Stars.”I have two children and an amazing wife.

Attorney Matt Conklin was a pleasure to work with. He kept track of all aspects of my case and took the stress out of having to deal with the insurance company. He worked very hard to get me the best settlement. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
