Matthew Leuty is a dedicated Veterans Disability Benefits Attorney who represents Veterans in their fight for disability compensation. As demonstrated in his previous practice as a Criminal Defense Attorney, Matthew’s passion for helping others has led him to become a strong advocate for Veterans who have been denied disability benefits by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Matthew earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska College of Law in May 2024, graduating with distinction. During his time in law school, he worked as a senior-certified law student in the Debtor’s Defense Clinic, where he helped struggling clients fight unfair debt-collection practices. One of his proudest accomplishments was successfully securing a dismissal for a mother of three who had been harassed by debt collectors after losing her job during the pandemic. Matthew also contributed to drafting a bill that increased the homestead exemption in Nebraska, protecting families from foreclosure over minor debts.
Matthew’s approach to legal advocacy is rooted in empathy, respect, and the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity. He strives to ensure that his clients feel supported and understood throughout every step of the legal process. With a strong focus on professionalism, individualized care, and integrity, Matthew aims to achieve the best outcomes for his clients.
Outside of his legal work, Matthew is an avid sports enthusiast who enjoys golf, basketball, pickleball, and volleyball. He also practices healthy habits like meal-prepping, meditation, and gratitude. On weekends, Matthew explores local coffee shops, bars, and restaurants, as well as spending time in nature. He has visited 18 different countries across six continents, which has broadened his perspective and deepened his appreciation for diverse cultures.
