Matthew J. Hundley

Matt Hundley is a trial lawyer who has devoted his practice to complex civil litigation, handling his own cases and routinely joining trial teams handling complex and catastrophic cases across the country. He has tried cases to verdict in the federal and state courts throughout Virginia, served as lead counsel in variety of commercial, construction, employment and premises cases, and routinely defends product manufacturers throughout the United States. Matt applies his passion for the law to pragmatically help his clients—whether it be a corporation, employer, insurer, or individual—to solve their problems and obtain the best outcome, which may be avoiding litigation altogether or vigorously defending a case through verdict and appeal. He brings extensive experience and support to clients facing complex problems. His construction practice includes assisting both general and subcontractors in contract negotiations, counseling those contractors when disputes arise, and litigating—if necessary—claims for delay, warranty, and defect. His premises and personal liability practice includes defending a national chain of convenience stores with stores throughout Virginia that face a variety of liability claims. He also represents companies and individuals in discrete claims ranging from exposure to toxic substances (including legionella, asbestos, and mold) to civil liability for assault and battery claims. When representing manufacturers in cases involving both new and legacy products, Matt draws on his personal experience working with equipment and machinery on the family farm where he grew up and continues to live. This experience provides Matt with a unique understanding of both the engineering and use of machinery and equipment he defends. Matt is often engaged by manufacturers and insures to investigate and document accidents involving catastrophic injuries when they occur, preserving evidence that is instrumental to the firm's defense of the manufacturer.
