Matthew's representative matters reflect the full range of contested trust, estate, and guardianship disputes. He prevailed at trial for clients whose stepmother procured an invalid will from their dementiastricken father, securing findings of bad faith that prevented her from recovering attorney's fees from the estate. He obtained an emergency guardianship order for a client whose brother planned to relocate their incapacitated father to an unsafe environment, removed an executor who stole several hundred thousand dollars in estate funds while preserving the remainder for national charity clients, and secured injunctive relief requiring the return of $2,000,000 in unlawfully distributed estate funds. He has defended an elderly client against a guardianship proceeding orchestrated by her son-in-law, protected a client's six-figure inheritance against contesting relatives, exonerated a trustee falsely accused of mismanagement, and won a judgment invalidating a ladybird deed to restore a widower's homestead rights. His appellate work includes Williams v. Tanner (Tex. App.—Dallas 2023), Golfis v. Houillion (Tex. App.—Dallas 2016 and 2014), Transitional Entity, LP v. Elder Care, LP (Tex. App.—Dallas 2016), and Sherrill v. Williams (Tex. App.—Dallas 2015).
