Originally from Bedford County, Virginia, Matthew joined Tucker Griffin Barnes in 2018 after earning his law degree from Liberty University School of Law.

Today, he uses that knowledge to build stronger cases and maximize results for his clients.

While attending law school, Matthew was a member of Liberty University School of Law’s nationally recognized Trial Team. In 2017, he earned second-place honors in the American Bar Association Regional Trial Competition and third place nationally. He also gained valuable courtroom experience working with firms representing plaintiffs in personal injury, workers’ compensation, and First Amendment retaliation cases.

In addition to representing injured clients, Matthew remains active in Virginia’s legal community. He serves as Chair of the Bench-Bar Relations Committee and the Attorney Wellness Committee for the Charlottesville-Albemarle Bar Association. He is also a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association, the Virginia Bar Association, the Charlottesville-Albemarle Bar Association, the Thomas Jefferson Inn of Court, and the American Bar Association.

Matthew has a longstanding commitment to serving his community. Prior to law school, he served as Vice President of the Roanoke Valley Paralegal Association, volunteered as a Big Brother with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, tutored students at a local youth center, participated in the Roanoke Kiwanis Club, and served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for children in need.

Matthew is licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the District of Columbia. He is admitted before all Virginia state courts as well as the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia.

When he is not practicing law, Matthew enjoys playing blues guitar, volunteering in the community, and continuing to expand his knowledge of personal injury and medical malpractice law so he can better serve his clients.

If you or a loved one has been injured because of someone else’s negligence, Matthew is ready to help you understand your legal rights, protect your interests, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Matt Westmoreland and the entire Tucker, Griffin and Barnes team took amazing care of me while they worked to successfully secure a fair settlement to compensate me for injuries caused by another party in a car accident. They were caring, intelligent, honest and highly responsive to my needs and concerns. I highly recommend securing this firm, and Mr. Westmoreland in particular, for any litigation needs.

Mr. Matthew Westmoreland was excellent to work with through a Personal Injury claim pertaining to a motor vehicle accident. I felt like the team there does a good job of being truthful, knowledgeable, accommodating, and overall fantastic to work with. Mr. Westmoreland personally kept me updated on status changes during the claim and his response to email and/or phone calls was always prompt. Rachel Roy was also a pleasure to work with especially during the initial document collection phase and throughout the entire process. During the process from beginning to end I was never made to feel like I was just another claim, but I was instead made to feel comfortable and that my case was important to them. Thanks!!!
