About Matt
Matt Andrews trained first as a scientist and then as a lawyer. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Wyoming and later graduated from Georgia State University College of Law with a J.D. in 2013. His academic path blends analytical habits from the sciences with courtroom training from law school.
He started his legal career in 2013 as an Assistant District Lawyer in the Douglas County District Lawyer’s Office. The role put him in regular contact with courtroom work, case preparation, and the daily pressures of local prosecution. Two years later he moved to the Richmond County Solicitor General’s Office, where he served as an Assistant Solicitor General in 2015. Those positions gave him steady exposure to trials, hearings, and the procedural demands of criminal docket management.
The arc of his early career is plainly prosecutorial. He handled arraignments, negotiated pleas and tried cases on behalf of government offices. The work required frequent appearances in state court and a steady calendar of contested matters. Colleagues from that period describe practical courtroom experience and familiarity with trial routines.
After time in public service he entered private practice. He now operates under the name Matt Andrews, LLC. In private practice he applies the skills he developed in Georgia’s county-level offices to client matters in state courts. His background in both the district and solicitor general offices informs how he evaluates charges, prepares defenses and approaches negotiations.
Clients and other attorneys see him as a lawyer who understands how prosecutors think and how cases progress through the system. He brings an evidence-oriented perspective from his undergraduate training and a procedural grounding from his years in court. That combination shapes how he assesses risk and plans courtroom strategy.
Outside of casework he maintains professional memberships. He continues to practice in Georgia and handles matters that require litigation experience in state courts. He practices law through Matt Andrews, LLC, focusing on cases in Georgia state court.
