About

  I offer over a decade of criminal law trial experience to serve the men and women of the United States military. Upon my graduation from law school with honors in 2001, I spent over five years as an attorney at the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office where I handled thousands of criminal cases.  In 2006, I joined the Air Force JAG Corps. I received high marks as a prosecuting attorney. The Judge Advocate General of the Air Force then chose me to become a military defense attorney. Despite glowing reviews and a promotion to Major, I decided to leave active-duty to become a civilian defense lawyer. I now serve those serving America as a military defense lawyer and court-martial attorney. I currently live in Colorado with my family.

Matt is an incredibly competent, diligent, and compassionate lawyer. He is the second dual military/civilian attorney that I've had to hire and has exceeded my expectations in both facets of the law as well as how they interrelate with each other. Matt promptly kept me informed throughout the entirety of the case and reliably answered my phone calls for any questions or concerns that I had. He carries a confident and well-spoken demeanor in court akin to what one would expect from a military man. Most importantly, Matt got me the outcome that I was hoping for in court. I would definitely recommend his service.

I reached out to several lawyers when looking to hire someone for assistance in filing a motion for early termination of probation for a DUI. Matthew was the only one to pick up his phone and he answered all of my questions right there on the spot. He was very helpful and transparent in what goes into the process which allowed me to feel confident making a decision that will no doubt affect my future. I am yet to hear back from the other lawyers I reached out to which only makes Matthew's assistance that much more helpful.

I asked Mr. James many questions regarding child custody. He was friendly and everything he said to me about my case came true. He didn't make things sound better than they were and I appreciated that because I didn't want any surprises. In the end I received the custody arrangement I wanted. The first 3 lawyers I used before him were a waste of my time and money.
