Matthew believes that his interest in immigration law began as a teenager growing up in southeast Wisconsin, where he worked on a local farm alongside families from the Hmong immigrant community. His goal of working in immigration law solidified in college when he studied abroad in Mexico and Venezuela. As an undergraduate student he also volunteered for three years with Open Door Learning Center, where he taught English as a Second Language to immigrant adults in northeast Minneapolis. While in law school, Matthew volunteered with several organizations and clinics that supported the Twin Cities immigrant community. In January of 2020, Matthew volunteered for one week in Dilley, Texas, where he worked with detained families who were recent arrivals to the U.S. Matthew’s background in criminal defense began in law school when he interned as a certified student attorney for the Ramsey County Public Defender. His criminal defense work specializes in advising clients of specific immigration considerations/consequences of their pending charges and convictions. 

 

Matthew is dedicated to providing his clients with individualized and empathetic representation. He enjoys helping his clients navigate complicated judicial systems and intersections of state and federal law. He is fluent in English and Spanish.
