I handled one case in which two girls were burned badly when a bulldozer hit a gas line outside their house and gas migrated inside. I sued the gas company as well as the construction company and we recovered more than $30 million for the girls.

I am currently working on a case against the manufacturer of Seroquel, a drug for schizophrenia. The drug causes diabetes and the drug company did not warn users that they could develop diabetes. I represent several hundred people in this case.

After graduating from law school in 1988, I joined a personal injury defense firm. I quickly realized I had a strong desire to help injured people, not the companies responsible for their injuries. A couple of years later, I joined the plaintiff's firm of Abraham Watkins Nichols Sorrels Matthews & Friend, where my trial record and success representing victims of catastrophic and often fatal injuries quickly lead me to become a Partner. After more than sixteen years of successful practice with Abraham Watkins Nichols Sorrels Matthews & Friend, in January 2007 I formed the firm of Matthews & Associates.
