About Matthew J.
Matthew J. Kidd built his foundation at Xaverian Brothers High School before earning a B.S. in Finance from Babson College and pursuing civil litigation studies at Massachusetts School of Law. The mix of finance and litigation coursework shaped how he approaches disputes. It also informed his early decisions about practice areas and courtroom work.
Kidd began his legal career in Massachusetts and holds admissions in the Commonwealth, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and the U.S. Tax Court. Over time he augmented that baseline with several professional trainings. Those include the Litigation Academy for the Federal District of Rhode Island, mediation training through MWI, and trial advocacy training with CPCS.
His certifications reflect a range of practical skills. He is a licensed construction supervisor in Massachusetts and a notary public for the Commonwealth. He has training in conducting internal employment discrimination investigations from the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. That combination allows him to handle matters that touch on technical construction issues, workplace investigations, and contested proceedings in state and federal settings.
Kidd’s association memberships track the scope of his work. He is a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Boston Bar Association. He also holds membership in the American Bankruptcy Institute and the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers. Those affiliations give him access to continuing legal education and peer networks across litigation, bankruptcy, and trial practice.
In the courtroom he relies on formal trial advocacy training and hands-on litigation experience. He has prepared cases for hearings in district court and in specialized tribunals such as the U.S. Tax Court. He also uses mediation skills when parties prefer to resolve disputes outside the courtroom. His background in finance is useful when cases include accounting or tax questions, and his construction supervisor certification helps when legal issues overlap with building projects.
Kidd practices from the Law Office of Matthew J. Kidd. He maintains a solo office structure that handles civil litigation, tax-related proceedings, employment investigations, and matters involving construction regulations. He accepts cases in state and federal court and provides mediation and investigatory services as part of his current practice focus.
