Matt represents clients in consumer financial services litigation with a clear goal: efficient, strategic dispute resolution that allows them to remain focused on running their businesses.
Drawing on more than 15 years of civil litigation experience, Matt represents banks, mortgage servicers, captive finance companies, independent lenders, credit unions, and vehicle finance companies in high-stakes mortgage servicing and auto finance disputes in both state and federal court. He defends clients in foreclosure challenges, wrongful repossession claims, creditor’s rights matters, and automotive lien priority litigation, as well as complex collateral recovery disputes involving repair facilities, storage providers, and competing lienholders.
In the mortgage lending arena, Matt handles claims under federal consumer protection statutes, including the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), and Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), as well as disputes involving alleged violations of the Texas Constitution’s home equity lending provisions. He also represents lenders in auto finance matters, including bankruptcies, defaults, lien priority, and contested vehicle repossessions.
Matt has significant appellate experience and has served as the sole or principal drafter of multiple appellate briefs submitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, resulting in two published opinions and consistently favorable outcomes.
Beyond this core focus, Matt represents banks, lenders, and other secured parties in complex commercial litigation, bankruptcy matters, and state court receiverships, including multi-party, multi-venue disputes. He regularly leads teams of attorneys and vendors in managing complex eDiscovery as part of his business litigation practice.
Clients rely on Matt for responsive, hands-on representation and efficient case management. He takes ownership of each matter—whether a single dispute or a large portfolio—and provides practical judgment designed to control risk, manage costs, and achieve optimal results. Matt favors pragmatic, non-contentious resolutions when appropriate, but is fully prepared to litigate aggressively when circumstances require.
