About

I was raised in Belgrade, Montana and graduated from Belgrade High School in 2006. In 2010 I graduated from the University of Montana with Honors. During my time at UM I served as the Captain of the University of Montana debate team. My love for persuasive advocacy pushed me to pursue a career in law.I received my Juris Doctorate from Gonzaga University School of Law in 2013. Since then I've worked in a variety of practice areas, including personal injury, insurance defense, real estate transaction, wills and trusts, and several other areas. In 2017 I became the newest shareholder in the firm, which was subsequently renamed to Smith Oblander & Meade, P.C. In 2020 I was elected to serve as the incoming President for the Cascade County Bar Association for the year 2021.  In my spare time I help coach CMR's debate team (Go Rustlers!) and volunteer on the Cascade County Law Clinic board.

Matt was knowledgeable and helpful with a claim I had been fighting on my own for 6 year. It took him 1 week and 1 letter and the other lawyers closed their file and took no further action against me. Matt kept me informed about my options, his actions, and the entire process. I recommend him highly.

Matt was very understanding and listened to everything I said without prejudice. I can trust his judgement and guidance on what needs to be done to best handle my situation. Matt took on my case with confidence and had a resolution in under a month. I am very grateful for his assistance and would recommend his support to all friends and family.

Matt served as our legal counsel in a property damage case. From day one we knew our case was in good hands, because Matt is the perfect representation of what a lawyer should be. Anyone that has had the pleasure of meeting or working with Matt can see he is a man of integrity, very competent, and detail oriented. Matt is as a kind and approachable person, but can be tough, very intelligent, but up for a challenge, and is one of the hardest working professionals we have had the pleasure of working with. His genuine desire to go above and beyond for his clients is amazing. He is the type of person that takes time to assure his clients are informed of and understand what can often be a very confusing process. Matt has proven to be an invaluable asset, and we are fortunate to have had him on our team.

We came to Matt for help in resolving issues with a contractor that wasn't completing the job they were hired to do on our new home. Matt was able to negotiate a quick resolution and release of funds for us to get our home finished by an outside contractor. During the process, Matt was thorough in explaining reasonable remedies and solutions, quick to return phone calls. He was great to deal with: knowledgeable, honest, ethical, personable. We have known Matt for a few years and know he is a man of integrity. We would highly recommend!

Matt Meade's legal counsel came highly recommended to me by another (also highly recommended, by a co-worker) attorney I had called whose schedule was too full to take my auto accident injury. I had never sought legal counsel before. I did not know what to expect and I felt a little intimidated by the whole process, but I'm glad that I hired Matt to represent me. Matt is very personable, energetic, and upfront in his personality and tenacious and a "go-getter" in his professionalism. He worked hard to advocate on my behalf, he is detail-oriented, and he routinely spoke with me personally and updated me on the status of my case. If I called his office and he was not readily available, he always returned my calls shortly thereafter. He is an honest person and he doesn't sugar-coat anything. I knew every step of the way what to expect. I respect Matt Meade as a person and I respect his professional integrity. I would highly recommend Matt Meade to anyone looking for a good personal injury attorney. I can't thank him enough for his expertise in his field and due diligence in bringing my own personal situation to a successful outcome.

Matt served as our leagal counsel in an insurance case stemming from a traumatic accident we were involved in. He was competant and honest from the beginning. He kept us aprised of our options and fully informed as to what actions he was taking on our behalf. He took the time to make sure we understood what was happening and helped us navigate the often confusing world of insurance litigation. Without a lawyer of Matt's caliber our situation could have turned out much differently. In short, Matt is the kind of guy you want on your side. He is a tenacious and effective representative and we would highly recommend his services.

Matt Meade has served as our legal counsel for about 1 1/2 years now. We were fist introduced to him via a long is distance real estate transaction that ended up in challenges that Matt expertly, and very quickly resolved for us. In addition he has proved invaluable responding to and researching usalbe, and problem solving answers to legal questions and/or dilemmas in our businesses. It can be a challenge in todays shaky and dishonest world to find such integrity, genuine honesty, humanness , and professionalism in a human. Matt represents the legal world, the firm he works with, and himself perfectly. If he doesn't have an answer right away, he will really go many extra miles for his clients to get the most comprehensive answers for you, including options and advise under the letter of the law. He is a kind man, but can be tough, and clever and smart enough to maneuver thru some of the toughest challenges needing resolution. We would highly recommend Matt Meade to represent you in your legal challenges; you will be not be disappointed to have this outstanding lawyer work for your and we are happy to have him on our team.
