Bio

Logan Matthews is a trial lawyer who represents companies in product liability, automotive liability, business, and other complex, mass tort litigation matters across the country. Whether the dispute involves state of the art product design, multinational logistics, or emerging technologies, Logan excels at translating complicated scientific and engineering concepts into clear, credible arguments for judges and juries.

Logan is regarded not only for his courtroom advocacy, but also for his strategic judgment and counsel.  He has taken and defended numerous depositions, argued dispositive and evidentiary motions, managed expert-intensive litigation, and helped shape trial strategy in cases across the United States. He has represented clients in state and federal courts across the country, developing coordinated litigation strategies that remain focused on the issues most likely to affect the outcome of a case.  Companies facing significant litigation need more than legal analysis.  They need advocates who can quickly master technical subject matter, identify the salient issues, and advance the most persuasive narrative from discovery through trial. That is the focus of Logan's practice, and his approach ensures efficiency and thorough preparation at every stage of the litigation process.

Before entering private practice, Logan served as a law clerk to the Honorable W. Harold Albritton III of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, where he gained firsthand insight into federal trail practice and judicial decision-making. That experience continues to shape his strategic approach to complex litigation today.

Logan is married to his college sweetheart, Paula, and together they have two children, Chandler and Cooper.
