About Matthew J.
Matthew J. Sherman is a tax attorney and certified public accountant who combines formal tax training with courtroom admissions across Florida and federal tax forums. He earned a B.S. in Accounting from the University of Florida, completed his J.D. at Nova Southeastern University, and returned to the University of Florida Levin College of Law for an LL.M. in Taxation. Those credentials shape the technical side of his practice and inform how he evaluates complex tax matters.
Before practicing law, Sherman worked as an accountant. In 2016 he served as an accountant for Better Life Products Investment Group, Inc., gaining hands-on experience in financial reporting and corporate accounting. That time in accounting preceded his shift into legal practice and contributed to a practical understanding of client financial operations.
Sherman is a Certified Public Accountant through the Florida Board of Accountancy. He is also admitted to practice in Florida and in several federal courts: the U.S. District Court for the Northern, Middle and Southern Districts of Florida, and the U.S. Tax Court. Those admissions allow him to represent taxpayers in both trial-level federal matters and tax-specific proceedings.
His legal work centers on tax controversy and related litigation. He handles matters that arise between taxpayers and taxing authorities, including representation in administrative and judicial forums. His LL.M. in Taxation underpins his approach to statutory and regulatory issues, while the CPA credential informs analysis of underlying financial records. Together they guide case strategy and client counseling.
Colleagues and clients describe Sherman as methodical in preparing cases for hearing and trial. He spends time assembling the factual record and framing legal arguments that respond directly to government positions. He appears in federal district courts and in the U.S. Tax Court when disputes progress beyond administrative resolution.
Sherman serves as a lawyer at Tax Workout Group, P.A., where he handles a range of federal and state tax matters for individuals and businesses. He maintains his CPA license while practicing law, allowing him to address both tax law and accounting questions that commonly arise in controversy work. He currently practices at Tax Workout Group, P.A., representing clients in tax disputes and related proceedings.
