About Matthew
Matthew Stowe built his legal foundation at Dartmouth College, earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1993, and then at Harvard Law School, where he received his J.D. in 1996. Those years framed the start of a career that has spanned public office and private practice. The academic record is straightforward and ties directly to the jurisdictions where he later sought admission.
Early in his career Stowe entered public service. In 2014 he served as District Lawyer General in Tennessee, a role that placed him at the center of prosecutorial decision-making and courtroom work in that state. That appointment signaled a turn toward litigation and public safety matters, and it brought him face to face with the practical demands of managing cases, supervising staff, and interacting with courts and law enforcement.
After his time in the district office, Stowe continued practicing law in environments that required both trial practice and office leadership. He has been admitted in Tennessee and in the District of Columbia, which has allowed him to handle matters that cross state and federal lines. His background combines courtroom experience from his public role and the procedural and substantive grounding that comes from a federal jurisdiction like D.C.
Colleagues describe Stowe as a lawyer who works methodically in court and prepares thoroughly outside it. He has handled criminal prosecutions and routine litigation tied to public legal work. He has also managed the administrative side of a district legal office, balancing caseloads and the logistical tasks necessary to keep a busy docket moving. His Harvard Law training underpins his approach to case law and legal research, while his undergraduate years at Dartmouth provided a broader liberal arts perspective.
Today Stowe continues to practice in the jurisdictions where he is licensed, applying the experience he gained as District Lawyer General and in subsequent positions. He focuses his current practice on litigation and court work in Tennessee and the District of Columbia.
