One of Matt’s first jobs out of law school was to be the in-house counsel for a specialty practice undergoing a multi-million dollar fraud investigation with criminal and civil penalties. After guiding that organization he went on to in-house positions in the alcohol and drug rehab space and large multi-clinic organizations.
Having seen how easily providers can be exploited, Matt created Provider Legal to advocate for and protect healthcare practitioners who work within a complex and ever changing system. He intimately understands what they are up against and how important their role is in our health system.
The other integral tenet of Provider Legal was borne out of Matt’s frustration with the outdated system of hourly billing and bloated invoicing – which is why Provider Legal is an exclusively flat fee and subscription law firm.
Matt’s favourite compliment from clients is that he doesn’t seem like a lawyer, but a real person. He enjoys sci-fi movies, reading historical fiction and is an Australian gin aficionado.

Prior to Provider Legal, John served in many roles, with a strong emphasis on litigation. John has spent time representing clients in family law, real estate litigation, business litigation, general civil litigation, criminal defense, and personal injury. In addition to his extensive litigation experience, John has also worked closely with local med spas providing similar services as he does now at Provider Legal.
John earned a Bachelor of Art degree in Psychology from the University of Arkansas in 2008. He returned to his alma mater and obtained his J.D. for the University of Arkansas School of Law in 2012.
When not at work, John can typically be found chasing his toddler around the house or reluctantly going on long walks in the neighborhood. He also enjoys time with friends, playing golf and tennis, jetting off to the beach, smoking his famous wings on the grill for all who want them, and wishing he spent more time playing the guitar collecting dust in the corner.
Meg is an attorney admitted to the Washington, D.C. Bar whose practice has focused on estate planning, trusts, probate, guardianship matters, and civil litigation. Prior to joining Provider Legal, she worked with individuals and families on everything from wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to probate and fiduciary matters, giving her experience on both the planning side and the very real consequences of what happens when a plan is—or is not—properly in place.
Meg particularly enjoys making estate planning feel less intimidating. She believes clients should understand the decisions they are making without needing a law degree to get through the conversation, and brings a practical, approachable style to helping people think through complicated family, financial, and legal issues.
Originally from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Meg earned her Juris Doctor from Barry University School of Law and her Bachelor of Arts in English from the College of Charleston. Outside of work, she can usually be found spending time with her husband and daughter, reading, traveling, rearranging something in her house, or convincing herself there is always room for one more plant.
