Mat jumped head first into the legal field when he joined Jones & Swartz in the fall of 2009. His position with the firm is his first experience as a paralegal. Since his start, Mat has become a master in document management, client file organization, written communications, securing discovery materials from the opposition, and producing material from his clients to the opposition. While working at Jones & Swartz PLLC, Mat has assisted in handling cases involving severe personal injury, workers compensation, product liability, and contract disputes. When prospective clients call Jones & Swartz for their very first time, they may have the good fortune of speaking with Mat about the basic facts of their legal problem. And, while Mat enjoys assisting clients, his first passion is Anthropological studies for which he graduated from Boise State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with an emphasis in Archaeology.
