Matt Lightfoot
Matt grew up just outside of Memphis, Tennessee, with his parents, brother and sister. He attended Sewanee: The University of the South, where he was a captain of the soccer team and member of several organizations on campus. Graduating cum laude in 2012 with his BA in Political Science, Matt spent the next five years serving two non-profits dedicated to assisting young people. After deciding that becoming a lawyer would allow him to make a greater impact on the lives of others, Matt attended the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law where he graduated cum laude in 2019. During his studies, Matt excelled as a Dean’s Assistant for the Academic Success Program, as a Member of the Honor Council, and as Notes Editor for the Law Review. Outside of the classroom, he gained experience clerking for a federal magistrate judge, administrative law judges at the EEOC, and general counsel for Shelby County Schools. After graduating from law school, Matt began his legal career as a law clerk for the Honorable Kenny Armstrong of the Tennessee Court of Appeals, where he helped draft opinions on a variety of topics including administrative law, civil procedure, legal family, property law and torts. Matt followed his wife, Katie, to Texas in 2020 and spent the last two years as a plaintiff’s attorney representing injured Texans. He is admitted to the Texas and Tennessee Bars.
Outside of the office, Matt enjoys spending time with Katie, camping, reading books, traveling, and playing with their dog and cats.
Although we would like to hear from you, we cannot represent you until we know that doing so will not create a conflict of interest. Also, we cannot treat unsolicited information as confidential. Accordingly, please do not send us any information about any matter that may involve you until you receive a written statement from us that we represent you (an “engagement letter”).
Communications with us via this website or via email does not establish an attorney-client relationship and any information sent to us before establishing an attorney-client relationship as evidenced by a signed engagement letter agreement can and will be used for the benefit of the firm’s existing clients; accordingly, until we have formally established an attorney-client relationship with you, do NOT send any confidential information or any information you would expect to be maintained in confidence through this website or through any email address posted on this website.
To initiate a possible representation, you should call one of our attorneys at the telephone number specified on the Website. He or she will determine if any conflict exists, and, if not, put you in touch with an appropriate lawyer. When you receive an engagement letter from that lawyer, you will be our client, and we may exchange information freely. By initiating communications with us through the Website, you agree that we may review any information you transmit to us. You recognize that our review of your information prior to the establishment of an attorney-client relationship, even if you submitted it in a good faith effort to retain us, and even if you consider it confidential, does not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even in a matter where the information could and will be used against you.
