About Joshua T.
Joshua T. Mathews practices law through The Mathews Group, LC. He is admitted to practice in Kansas and Missouri and holds admission to several federal appellate courts, including the Eighth Circuit, the Tenth Circuit and the Federal Circuit. That combination of state and federal admissions shapes how he approaches cases and client needs.
Mathews began his legal career working on matters that required attention across multiple forums. Over time he developed work that brought him regularly before state courts in Kansas and Missouri and into the federal appellate system. He has developed a practice that often involves preparing appellate briefing, managing record issues and coordinating strategy across trial and appellate stages. He handles procedural complexity and the differing rules of state and federal appellate practice.
His appellate admissions reflect an emphasis on handling appeals and post-trial matters. Mathews appears in the Eighth and Tenth Circuits and is admitted to the Federal Circuit. That capacity allows him to present legal arguments at the appellate level on behalf of individuals, businesses and other clients. He also manages filings and procedural requirements at the district court level in Kansas and Missouri when matters have not yet advanced to appeal.
Clients describe his approach as methodical. He spends time on the record, locating the key facts and legal points that will matter on appeal. He writes and edits complex briefs and prepares witnesses and counsel for the different demands of oral argument in appellate settings. He also pays attention to deadlines and the technical aspects of appellate procedure, which often determine whether issues are preserved and how they will be considered by an appellate panel.
At The Mathews Group, LC, Mathews handles matters that traverse state and federal lines. His practice includes coordinating with trial counsel, evaluating likely issues on appeal, and advising clients about litigation risk and next steps after a trial court ruling. He works on cases that require close attention to appellate standards of review and the narrower factual record typical of appeals.
Outside the courtroom he maintains ties to the legal communities in Kansas and Missouri. He monitors developments in appellate law and court rules that affect how appeals are prosecuted. He currently practices at The Mathews Group, LC, representing clients in state cases and federal appellate matters across the jurisdictions to which he is admitted.
