Matthew J. Kelly

Matt J. Kelly lives in Bozeman, Montana and practices in state and federal courts in Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming. He represents those who have been wronged or are being bullied by large corporations, the government, or both.

Matt’s entire practice is litigation. He has worked on cases as a member of teams with dozens of lawyers across multiple law firms and has worked cases all by himself. No matter the resources available, he believes that success can only be found through hard work and by presenting the facts in a structured and compelling manner.

Matt has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in civil cases in front of judges, juries, and arbitrators. He has litigated cases ranging from hundreds of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Matt believes that the legal system – at its best – levels the playing field and should generate the correct result for everyone. At its worst, the legal system can create winners and losers based merely on the wealth and status of the litigants. He works to be a part of a just system that recognizes everyone’s rights, equally, and forces his opponents, large or small, to play by the same rules.

Matt is active in his community, serves on local boards, and contributes his time and talent where he can.

Matt received his JD from the University of Wyoming, with honors, in 2007 and has an undergraduate degree in Accounting from Montana State University.

Before starting private practice, Matt proudly served one year as a term clerk for the Honorable Alan B. Johnson in the Wyoming Federal District Court.
