Matthew Patton is a seasoned trial attorney who oversees one of Robinson & Henry’s Family Law Teams. 

Matthew has been in private practice for more than a decade, serving as the primary attorney responsible for key decisions in complex family law litigation and criminal defense trials. Before that, he gained invaluable experience as District Attorney for the 18th Judicial District, where he prosecuted numerous misdemeanor and felony cases and participated in hundreds of trials and motions hearings.

Every case presents a unique set of circumstances, and Matthew is dedicated to helping his clients achieve optimal outcomes in their complicated and sensitive legal matters. He accomplishes this through exceptional presentation and communication skills in pursuit of the best possible outcomes, whether through skilled negotiation, mediation, or aggressive representation in court.
