About Gary Matthews
Family and Community
I'm a husband to Alexandra since 1996, an uncle to 18 nephews and nieces, and a long-suffering Armagh GAA supporter-three of my proudest roles. Family is at the core of who I am, and though Alexandra and I weren't blessed with children, my nephews and nieces often remind me that I am their favorite uncle, despite the competition from my four brothers and one sister.
Growing up in a close-knit community, I found love just 30 seconds from my home. Alexandra and I first crossed paths during my 10-year stint as an altar boy at our local Dominican Church.
Early Inspiration and Career
From a young age, work was a central part of my life. My father, a professional dog trainer, taught me a strong work ethic that has shaped who I am today. I knew by the age of eight that I wanted to be a solicitor, inspired by watching reruns of Perry Mason featuring the late Raymond Burr. The idea of justice and the role of the solicitor captivated me.
At 22, I fulfilled my dream, qualifying as a solicitor and opening my own law firm in 1995. Initially, I managed a general practice covering all aspects of the law, but in 1997, I found my true calling in personal injury law and medical negligence cases. Over the years, I've mentored six apprentice solicitors, all of whom are still successfully practicing law-an achievement I hold dear.
Passion for Justice
People often ask me why I continue to practice law after so many years. The answer is simple: I love fighting for justice. Every client's case is a cause I believe in, and many clients do not have the financial resources to pursue justice on their own. I finance these cases because I am driven by a deep-seated commitment to righting wrongs and ensuring that justice is served.
My father, who is in his late 80s, still works seven days a week, and the work ethic he instilled in me still burns brightly. This dedication to hard work and justice is the foundation of my practice.
Professional Philosophy
My approach to law is rooted in compassion, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of justice. I understand that each case represents a significant moment in my clients' lives, and I am committed to providing personalised, thoughtful representation. Every case is unique, and all members of my firm take the time to fully understand each client's story.
Beyond the Office
When I'm not in the office, you can find me cheering for Armagh GAA, attending greyhound and horse race meetings, spending time with my large family, or most importantly simply enjoying the quiet moments with Alexandra. I'm a firm believer that life is about balance, and these moments outside of work are what recharge and inspire me to continue my life as a solicitor.
