About:
I am a seasoned and effective trial attorney and the owner and sole practitioner at my own law firm. Prior to that I was an associate attorney at another firm, I served as a Judicial Clerk to the Honorable Mustafa T. Kasubhai at the Lane County Courthouse in Eugene, Oregon, and I worked as a law clerk at Umpqua Valley Public Defender in Roseburg, Oregon. I love to tackle tough constitutional and evidentiary issues on behalf of my clients. I believe that everybody has a right to a zealous defense. I earned a B.A. in history from the University of Oregon and then went on to attend University of Oregon Law School where I obtained his Doctorate of Jurisprudence. In my free time I enjoys studying history, spending time outdoors, and fishing. I specialize in criminal defense, gun rights, expungement of criminal records, and restraining order/protective order hearings.

"I felt very overwhelmed by a case I had in Eugene. I didn't know what to do. Unlike other attorneys I had talked to about my case Mathew really listened to me. I felt like he understood what I was going through and was straight forward with me. He was able to get the case dismissed without me even going to court. He and his team are great."

Sure enough, Matt got me the best possible outcome I could have wanted all while making it look effortless. While I hope to avoid any legal trouble in my future, if I do have more in the future, I will definitely be contacting Matt Watkins again. Thanks Matt for all your support."

"Matthew is an excellent attorney who deeply cares for his clients. Through his work, he got my case dismissed in Corvallis. For months I wasn't designated a public defender in a case in Benton County. Eventually, Matt took it upon himself to take my case and fought relentlessly on my behalf. In what felt like an insurmountable weight on my shoulders, Matt helped me navigate through the ins and outs of my charges. He is compassionate, patient, and incredibly thorough. His work helped change my life for the better and I cannot thank him enough."
