ABOUT

Matthew

Litigation defense attorney Matthew “Matt” Sandifer took a nontraditional and unconventional approach to his law career, serving in the military before law school. His background gives him a unique perspective and approach to representing and partnering with clients. Passionate about outstanding client service, he brings compassion and attention to detail while providing a tailored approach to each case.

Matt goes way above and way beyond for clients in the retail, restaurant, hospitality, and transportation industries in matters of litigation, insurance coverage, premises liability, professional liability, and product liability. He served as a legal clerk and intern in the U.S. Senate under Senator Bill Cassidy, and Matt was also recognized for academic excellence in trial advocation and legislative law while attending law school.

Born in Augusta, Georgia, and raised in Louisiana, Matt is a former active-duty United States Marine, serving two combat deployments to Ramadi, Iraq. When not advocating for his clients, he enjoys traveling, studying fitness and exercising, and playing the drums.
