Individual Cases, Individual Attention

At Matthews & Associates, we file cases individually and prosecute them on their own merits. In pharmaceutical drug litigation, people often have vastly different injuries and circumstances; therefore they need their cases filed on an individual basis. That’s why we virtually always file cases individually,  and prosecute them accordingly.
