After a successful career in complex litigation, in 1987, Matt joined the United States Peace Corps, and lived and worked in a small village in Niger, Africa, learning the local Hausa language and improving the lot of his friends in the village through modest, but significant, improvements, such as installing a well for crop irrigation.

He joined Danielson Harrigan Leyh & Tollefson in1990. Matt focuses on in-depth analysis of the most complex legal problems and has special expertise in insurance litigation, environmental litigation and anti-trust matters.

Matt spends half his time in pro bono legal work at the Northwest Justice Project and the King County Bar Association Neighborhood Legal Services program. In 2004 Matt received the Pro Bono Award from the Washington State Bar Association in recognition of his many years of service. The late William Dwyer, an eminent federal judge, called Matt "a pro bono hero."
