Matt has worked at Murphy Law Firm, in one capacity or another, since he was 12 years old.

Matt is admitted to practice law in all Montana state courts and before the U.S. district courts. He is also a member of the Cascade County Bar Association, Montana State Bar, American Bar Association, the Montana Trial Lawyers Association and the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group.
