His practice centers on representing buyers, sellers, and lenders in the acquisition, sale, and financing of real estate. He also advises lenders and borrowers on problem loans, including workouts, loss mitigation strategies, and collateral issues. Matt regularly represents title insurers and insureds in complex title disputes and insurance claims, and counsels title agents, mortgage brokers, and banks on compliance and day-to-day operations.

Matt also counsels real estate brokers through consumer complaints and regulatory investigations. He knows how much is riding on these matters for a broker’s business and reputation, and works closely with clients to respond quickly and get them back to focusing on what they do best.

Matt handles disputes across real estate and finance as well, representing clients in matters ranging from contract and title issues to lender liability claims. He works to resolve them efficiently through negotiation or, when the situation calls for it, litigation.

Through the firm’s in-house title agency, he secures solar endorsements and issues nine-figure owner’s and lender’s title insurance policies.
