Matthew is a dedicated advocate who believes that his clients—hardworking individuals who have spent their lives providing for their families—deserve an attorney who will work just as hard for them in return.

With a practice focused on asbestos litigation and asbestos bankruptcy trusts, Matthew is extremely knowledgeable about how to properly navigate through the complicated legal issues related to asbestos claims and has successfully represented tens of thousands of clients who have fallen victim to asbestos exposure in the workplace, recovering over a half-billion dollars on their behalf.  This includes all asbestos-related diseases, such as asbestosis, lung cancer, colon cancer, throat cancer (esophageal/laryngeal), stomach cancer, and Mesothelioma.  

Matthew’s legal practice also litigates personal injury, wrongful death, and defective products.

“I represent some of the hardest-working individuals in this country. They may not have fame or fortune, but they understand the true meaning of hard work and sacrifice for their families. After years of asbestos exposure, they now need someone who will fight just as relentlessly for them. That’s what I do. My work is my passion. Not a day goes by that I am not working my hardest to ensure my clients receive the justice they deserve. It is a profound tragedy that these innocent men and women are suffering from devastating diseases—conditions that could have been prevented had corporations prioritized people over profits. I refuse to tolerate such injustice.”

Matthew is actively involved in the legal community and holds memberships in several prestigious organizations, including the American Association for Justice, Texas Trial Lawyers Association, Texas Young Lawyers Association, San Antonio Trial Lawyers Association, San Antonio Young Lawyers Association, Austin Bar Association, Austin Young Lawyers Association, and the Capital Area Trial Lawyers Association.

The National Trial Lawyers has named him one of the “Top 40 Under 40 Civil Plaintiff Trial Lawyers in Texas,” an honor reserved for the most distinguished attorneys in the state who demonstrate outstanding leadership, reputation, and legal acumen. He has also been recognized as a Rising Star and Top-Rated Lawyer by Super Lawyers.

Matthew was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in 2013 and the State Bar of Minnesota in 2015 (inactive). He is a proud member of Sigma Chi Fraternity and serves on the board of directors of the Andy Roddick Foundation, which is committed to closing the education achievement gap for underserved students through high-quality, out-of-school programs.

A Texas native, Matthew earned his Bachelor of Arts degree, cum laude, from Texas Tech University in 2004, and later received his Juris Doctor from St. Mary’s University School of Law in 2012.

Outside of his legal practice, Matthew is the Founder and CEO of Ketterman Ranch, an exclusive members-only club in the Texas Hill Country offering premier outdoor experiences. He is also deeply passionate about philanthropy. Alongside his wife, Tamara, he is a devoted member of LifeAustin Church in Austin, Texas, and together, they helped underwrite the Ketterman Family Chapel.

Above all, Matthew’s greatest joy is his family. He and his wife Tamara are proud parents to three sons, Matthew Douglas, Stetson Matthew, and Cooper Matthew. His children inspire him daily, reminding him of the importance of his work and the legacy he strives to build for future generations.
