Biography:

Matt Baggett founded Baggett Law in 2012, driven by his desire to deliver better and faster results for his clients. From the very beginning, his vision was clear: to create a law firm that delivers outstanding results for clients in the least amount of time possible. As the founder and managing partner of Baggett Law, Matt works alongside his law partner and life partner, Amanda Baggett, leading the firm together with shared purpose and dedication.

Matt was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but spent most of his childhood in Illinois and California. A lifelong Florida Gator, he returned to Florida to attend the University of Florida, where he graduated with honors in political science. He went on to earn his law degree from Florida State University in 2005. Early on, Matt’s exceptional trial skills were recognized when he won first place in the 2003 Wayne Hogan Trial Competition.

Matt’s legal career is defined by his unyielding commitment to his clients. A natural-born trial attorney, he is known for his “driven-to-win” attitude and his compassionate advocacy. As a fierce champion for the underdog, Matt’s clients know they have someone in their corner who is fully dedicated to their success.

Experience:

Matt’s extensive legal experience gives him an invaluable perspective on the strategies of insurance companies and large corporations. He began his career defending Fortune 500 companies at two of the most prestigious law firms in Northeast Florida. Knowing the other side’s game plan, Matt understands how to aggressively pursue complex claims from the start to maximize the compensation his clients are entitled to. Matt handles serious personal injury and wrongful death cases, as well as complex product liability and class action cases.

Matt’s successes in the courtroom and winning settlements in high stakes cases have earned him numerous accolades, including an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and consistent recognition by Super Lawyers Magazine since 2009. In 2024, he was named one of the Best Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Jacksonville by Forbes, standing out among just ten other attorneys in the region.

For Matt, however, the greatest reward is not the accolades or recognition—it’s the opportunity to fight for his clients and win justice on their behalf.
