Matthew B. Thompson

I have dedicated my career to advocating for individuals and families who have suffered wrongful injuries caused by powerful institutions. My focus is on helping those who face life-altering and catastrophic injuries as a result of medical negligence. Over the years, my efforts have been recognized by The National Trial Lawyers, who named me a Top 40 Under 40 Trial Attorney in 2019 and 2020 and a Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Trial Lawyer in Maryland in 2025. I was also honored as a Maryland Super Lawyers Rising Star annually from 2019 to 2025 and a Maryland Super Lawyers Super Lawyer in 2026. Through my commitment to my clients, I have secured multiple seven-figure verdicts and helped recover tens of millions of dollars in compensation. Additionally, I have successfully represented clients at the appellate level. I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and graduated from Loyola Blakefield. Throughout my life and career, I have worked hard to build lasting relationships that make a positive difference for those around me. From 2019 to 2021, I served on the Board of Directors for Mentoring Mentors, Inc., a local non-profit organization dedicated to supporting underserved students in reaching their potential—a role that reflected my passion for service. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Virginia in 2011 and graduated magna cum laude with my Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore in 2014. I am admitted to practice law in Maryland's state and federal courts and have also been admitted pro hac vice in several other states and jurisdictions across the country. I currently live in north Baltimore with my wife, our two sons, and our dog, Wilson. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, attending concerts, and supporting local restaurants and artists.
