Senior Associate
Matt has served as both in-house counsel for one of the nation’s largest collection agencies and in private practice as outside counsel. His in-house experience gives him insight into what his clients want from defense counsel—innovative and efficient lawyering, bringing favorable results. As outside counsel, he works to achieve these goals.
Matt is admitted to the federal and state bars of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, as well as the federal bar of Minnesota and the Eastern District of Michigan.
For over 20 years, Matt has focused his practice on defending debt buyers, debt collectors, creditors and attorneys in actions arising under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and various state laws and regulations. Matt also advises clients on compliance matters and assists them in minimizing potential liability while maintaining productivity.
Matt began his work in the industry in 2001 as the Director of Compliance for ACA International, a trade association made up of creditors, collectors and attorneys. After that, in his prior role as Vice President of Legal and Compliance for a multinational corporation, he was directly responsible for managing the defense of all individual and class action consumer litigation matters in the US and Canada.
