The MattLaw office on Plant Avenue in Tampa
The lawyer behind the name

Matt Powell stopped representing insurance companies and opened his own firm to represent people.

Matt practiced first with a prominent insurance defense firm in Tallahassee, where he learned the methods carriers use to reduce what they pay injured people. Then he left that side of the table. He has practiced in the Hutchinson Mansion on Plant Avenue in Tampa since 1989, is AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, and completed his 100th jury trial in 2026.
