About Matt Dodd
Matt Dodd has been in the courtroom as long as he can remember, watching his father practice throughout the South. After attending law school at the University of Utah (where he helped secure the exoneration of a wrongfully incarcerated man), Matt clerked for the Utah Supreme Court. He then moved to Montana and opened offices in Bozeman, Big Sky, Helena, and Livingston. Matt handles criminal, civil, and family law cases and enjoys teaching judges and juries how to help his clients. Matt has regularly been named as a Super Lawyer Rising Star and, in 2017, Matt was recognized by the National College for DUI Defense with the Appellate Advocacy Award. In addition, Matt is just one of three lawyers in the State of Montana who belong to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. For the last decade, Matt has traveled nationwide to lecture and teach trial skills. He is a regular lecturer for the Montana Office of Public Defender and has taught many of the state’s trial judges about issues in driving under the influence (DUI) cases. Matt has authored several articles on trial tactics for family, civil, and criminal cases published in national and state law journals and he co-authored the book, Cross-Examination for Depositions, now in its second edition, with his father, Roger Dodd. Matt consults, coaches, and co-counsels with lawyers nationwide.
