About Matthew J.
Matthew J. Anderson took an unconventional path to the law. He studied languages at the University of Notre Dame, earning a B.A. in French and Russian in 2000, then completed his legal training at Santa Clara University School of Law in 2003. His academic background gives him a facility with complex documents and an ease with technical reading that he has carried into courtroom work.
Anderson began his legal career in private practice in the Midwest. His earliest listed role was at Lee Groves & Zalas in 2007. Over the next decade he moved through several small and mid-sized firms, including the Kenneth J. Allen Law Group in 2011 and the Wruble Law Group in 2013. In 2015 he practiced with Anderson, Agostino & Keller, P.C., and in 2017 he joined Tabor Law Office, LLP. In 2020 he became part of May Oberfell Lorber. Those moves trace a steady progression through firms that handle trial and appellate work.
Throughout his career Anderson maintained admissions across a range of state and federal courts. He is admitted in Indiana and Michigan, and he holds privileges before the 7th and 6th Circuits. He is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and several federal district courts, including the Western District of Michigan, the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana, and the Northern District of Illinois. That roster of admissions reflects frequent involvement in matters that require appearances in both trial and appellate venues.
Collegial ties and bar activity have remained part of his professional life. He is a current member of the Indiana State Bar Association and the St. Joseph County Bar Association. Those memberships keep him connected to practice developments and local court communities.
Anderson’s practice history suggests steady experience handling litigation across state and federal forums. He has navigated cases at district and appellate levels and has accumulated experience in courtroom procedure and motion practice. Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who prepares thoroughly for hearings and values practical solutions when litigation permits.
He now practices at May Oberfell Lorber, where he represents clients in both state and federal matters and continues to appear in trial and appellate courts as required by his admissions.
