About Matt
Matt Gulotta has assembled an uncommon combination of legal, technical and aviation training across a career that spans courtrooms and classrooms. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Commercial Aviation from Delta State University in 1994, an MBA from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2004 and a J.D. from the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law in 2006. He later completed a Doctor of Education at Northeastern University.
Early in his career, Gulotta moved between academia and private practice. He joined The Gulotta Firm, PLLC in 2010. He has taught as an adjunct assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2012 and served as an adjunct lecturer at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2016. Those roles reflect an ongoing interest in teaching and training alongside active legal work.
Gulotta’s federal admissions list is broad. He is admitted in the Middle and Western Districts of Tennessee, and in the Northern District of Mississippi. He holds admissions in both the Western and Eastern Districts of Arkansas, is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and is authorized in the Sixth Circuit. Court-appointed work has been part of his practice; he joined the CJA Panel for the Western District of Tennessee in 2018 and for the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in 2019.
Beyond law, his technical credentials are notable. He holds CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications, a Web Foundations: Associate credential from CIW and is a Microsoft Certified Professional. He also holds an Airline Transport Pilot certificate issued by the FAA. That mix of IT and aviation qualifications has informed both his teaching and litigation interests.
Gulotta maintains memberships in professional organizations that connect him to peers across practice areas. He is an active member of the Federal Bar Association and belongs to the Mississippi Bar Association. His practice is based at The Gulotta Firm, PLLC, where he combines courtroom representation with appellate work and client counseling.
Observers will note a pattern: academic engagement, technical training and federal practice intersect in his career. He has moved between teaching roles and court appointments while maintaining a private practice. His current practice covers federal trial and appellate matters in the district and circuit courts where he is admitted.
