About Matthew

Matthew Stano earned his law degree from South Texas College of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2013. He completed his undergraduate studies at Middle Tennessee State University, where he graduated with a B.S. in 2002. Those academic credentials set the stage for a practice based in Texas courts.

He launched his own practice in 2016 and has operated The Stano Law Office since then. That move followed several years of building courtroom and litigation experience. He is admitted to practice in Texas and has pursued work that places him regularly in trials and hearings.

Stano’s professional affiliations include membership in the Houston Trial Lawyers Association, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, and the American Association for Justice. He is also an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau. These memberships indicate steady involvement in trial-oriented organizations and in groups that engage with consumer and business dispute issues.

Those connections have informed the kind of work his office handles. He manages civil litigation for individuals and businesses, preparing cases for trial when settlement is not an option. He handles pleadings, discovery, motion practice and courtroom presentation. Clients who seek representation often find a lawyer experienced in litigating disputes through the court system rather than limiting help to negotiation only.

Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in court. He tends to prioritize clear evidence and straightforward legal arguments. That approach is reflected in the office’s case preparation and courtroom style. He files and argues dispositive motions when the facts support them, and prepares thoroughly when cases proceed to trial.

The Stano Law Office maintains offices in the Chase Bank Building. The practice operates primarily in Texas courts, supported by memberships in both local and national trial lawyer groups. In addition to trial work, the office provides pretrial counseling aimed at helping clients understand legal options, likely outcomes, and the resources required to pursue litigation.

As of 2026, Stano continues to practice in Texas through The Stano Law Office, maintaining an active trial-oriented civil litigation practice.
