Meet Matt Menter Senior Trial Attorney
Matt comes from a long line of family dedicated to the service of others, and that philosophy informs every part of his practice. Born in Houston and raised in Pearland, Matt’s roots remain firmly planted in his community.
His passion for writing sparked his curiosity in the legal profession. In his time at South Texas College of Law Houston, Matt was a member of the South Texas Law Review. His passion for advocacy came from his time competing for the prestigious varsity Moot Court program at South Texas. Matt traveled the country to represent the school in several national competitions as both a brief writer and an oral advocate responsible for arguing both sides of presented issues. He received multiple awards for his oral and written advocacy, including the award for best brief at the 2016 National Health Law Moot Court Competition. The skills that Matt learned through his time at South Texas formed the foundation that would rapidly develop into a successful career as a practicing lawyer.
As a personal injury lawyer, Matt has represented hundreds of clients and accumulated millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for them. His creativity, writing skills, and dedication have served his clients well, briefing and arguing contentious motions, and finding novel solutions to their complex legal issues. Matt is also not afraid of the courtroom; he has first-chaired multiple trials, handling every aspect from voir dire to evidence presentation, to jury argument. Matt fought hard as co-counsel to obtain a top 100 verdict in Texas in 2018 and the largest food poisoning verdict in the state for that year.
Matt understands that many people become injured unexpectedly, and many of his clients have never needed an attorney before. That is why he makes sure to walk his clients through every step of their case. Matt also firmly believes the injured and indigent deserve the same zealous, meticulous representation that billion-dollar insurance companies often pit against his clients. He prides himself on helping those who need it most and dedicates himself to achieve the best possible result.
When he is not busy fighting for his clients, Matt spends much of his time with his family, friends, and two dogs. He is a lifelong Houston sports fan and a music lover. You may even catch him at a karaoke night belting Prince or Chris Stapleton.

Success Stories
Hace dos años tuve un accidente de camión de 18 ruedas. Gracias a Dios que Johnathan estuvo al tanto de todo lo que se necesitaba para mí y mi familia. Es una buena persona, por dentro y por fuera, y como abogado se aseguró de que me cuidaran bien. Siempre estaré agradecido. ¡Recomiendo altamente a J.D. Silva & Associates si quieres que te traten bien!
Ningún accidente es demasiado grande o demasiado pequeño; si necesitas un profesional que se ocupe de tu caso, ¡este es el hombre que te conviene! Mi accidente ocurrió en Clute, Texas, una pequeña ciudad en el condado de Brazoria. No pensé que obtendría la ayuda que necesitaba, pero afortunadamente me encontré con J.D. Silva & Associates para cuidarme en mi momento de necesidad. ¡Fue muy útil!
Hace aproximadamente un año tuve un accidente en Luisiana. Una mujer de Texas me golpeó por detrás. Rápidamente llamé a Johnathan y él se ocupó del caso. Me sentí como su único cliente por la atención y el tiempo que dedicó para asegurarse de que yo estaba bien. Hizo que mi caso se resolviera sin complicaciones con todas las citas médicas y escaneos. No puedo más que decir lo afortunado que soy de haber ido con Johnathan; estoy muy agradecido. Realmente trata a las personas como de la familia. No dudaría en llamarlo si alguna otra vez tuviera un accidente. Y después de que todo estuvo dicho y hecho con mi terapia y mi salud, obtuve una buena suma global. Gracias Johnathan ¡sigues siendo el mejor! Dios te bendiga.
