ABOUT US


MattLaw
is a team of Tampa area injury lawyers led by Matt Powell, who has protected thousands of victims and their families for over 35 years.

MattLaw
protects the most vulnerable of our society, people who can't protect themselves, children, and the elderly.

Mothers can't control what the doctors, nurses, and hospitals are doing during the birth of their child, they place their trust in these professionals, and occasionally they are betrayed resulting in a child born with cerebral palsy.

Children are unknowing victims of dangerous products, predatory coaches, religious leaders, or unsafe playgrounds. Our elderly are unable to protect themselves in nursing homes that are understaffed or potentially unsafe.

We are active in helping to keep kids safe by sponsoring local charity events throughout the Tampa Bay area where we give children free bicycle helmets and other bicycle riding safety equipment.
