Bio
Matt is licensed to practice law in New Jersey and the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey. He is a Member of the New Jersey Bar Association, the Young Lawyers Division and the Ocean County Bar Association.
In 2013, Matt graduated magna cum laude from the University at Albany – State University of New York where he received a B.A. in Criminal Justice and Communications & Rhetoric. While an undergraduate, Matt was a member of UAlbany’s Division 1-FCS Football team, which won two conference championships and went to the 2011 FCS Playoffs. As a leader, Matt was the only student-athlete who was a member of MenREACH, a sexual assault awareness group that conducted presentations during freshman orientation and quarterly “open house” meetings which invited students to share any issues occurring in the dorms in an effort to help the students feel more comfortable in their new living environments.
Interests in civil rights and the Constitution combined with a desire to help others led Matt to law school. He received his law degree from the Seton Hall University School of Law in 2018. While studying at Seton Hall, Matt was a 1L student mentor for two years, the Treasurer of the Health Law Forum and a member of the Employment Law Forum. During law school, Matt worked as a Law Clerk at the National Labor Relations Board, a plaintiff’s-side employment litigation firm, the General Counsel of the City of Hoboken and two General Counsels of private companies. After graduation, Matt had the privilege of serving as a Judicial Law Clerk for the Honorable Patricia B. Roe, J.S.C., in the Ocean County Superior Court of New Jersey.
Following his Clerkship, Matt worked for McGovern Legal Services, LLC representing Home Owners’ Associations. Matt is presently an Associate Attorney at the Law Offices of Robert S. Gitmeid & Associates, PLLC, where he practices consumer advocacy by defending debtors’ rights against credit card companies.
In Matt’s spare time, he volunteers with the National Lawyers Guild, which enables him to pursue his passion for pro bono work by fighting to establish a world where everyone lives a life of equal opportunity, not in theory but in actuality. Matt is a Supervising Attorney and Executive Committee Member for the Legal Research, Analysis & Publications Practice of the Delaware-New Jersey National Lawyers Guild’s Mass Defense Program. In this capacity, he serves as a Managing Editor of the DE-NJ NLG Mass Defense Program's Legal Monograph Series, "Legal Compendia for Community Organizers and Activists," which will be available to the public without charge on the DE-NJ NLG website.
