Attorney at Law

Matthew R. Patton, IV

I’ve practiced law in Texas since 1997, but my roots in East Texas go back generations. As a third-generation attorney, I’ve built my practice on straight talk, strong work ethic, and showing up for the people who trust me with their case.


When I’m not in court, I’m likely tending cattle, coaching youth sports, or lending a hand around town. This is more than where I work—it’s home. And that means the folks who come through my door get treated like neighbors, not numbers.
