About Matthew D
Matthew D Adkins works in both Georgia and South Carolina courts. He is admitted in state and federal forums that include the District Court of South Carolina and the District Court for the Southern District of Georgia, and he is authorized to practice before the 11th and 4th Circuits. Those admissions allow him to handle matters that move between state trial courts and federal appellate panels.
He has been a member of the State Bar of Georgia since 2020. Over time he has joined several professional organizations that reflect the types of cases he takes to trial. Current memberships include the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, the South Carolina Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Academy of Truck Accident Lawyers. Those affiliations form part of his professional engagement in both states.
Adkins’s courtroom work spans civil and criminal matters. He handles trial litigation, including truck accident cases, and he represents clients in criminal defense matters in South Carolina. He files and argues cases in state courts and has experience litigating in the federal district courts listed on his admissions. His memberships suggest regular involvement in jury trials and trial-preparation work.
He practices from Murray & Adkins. At the firm he works on cases that require motion practice, depositions and trial preparation. He appears before judges and juries in the jurisdictions where he holds admission, and he coordinates litigation strategies that reflect differences between state and federal procedures.
Colleagues describe him as someone who pursues contested hearings and trial settings rather than limiting work to settlement negotiations. His membership in a specialized truck accident organization indicates attention to the technical and regulatory issues that arise in commercial vehicle cases. Participation in both state trial lawyer and criminal defense groups points to a mixed civil-criminal litigation practice.
Adkins maintains memberships that keep him connected to peers in both Georgia and South Carolina. He continues to handle matters that require federal court access when cases move beyond state systems or when appellate work in the 4th or 11th Circuit becomes necessary. He currently focuses his practice on trial litigation, truck accident cases and criminal defense matters.
