Biography

About Matthew Keith Grove — Over 20 years of Texas adoption experience

Matthew Keith Grove is an attorney based in Austin, TX. The practice focuses on Adoption, Child Custody, and Child Support. Matthew has over 20 years of legal experience.

After working in the criminal justice field for more than 25 years, Matt Grove saw how the criminal justice system was negatively impacting families. He found his true calling in family law, which is why he founded The Grove Law Firm, PC. Since then, Matt has worked extensively in general family and child protection (CPS) law. He enjoys helping people and families through difficult, complex and contested family law matters. Matt believes in fighting for his client’s rights. His firm’s motto is “Results through diligent preparation and aggressive representation.” Unlike some attorneys who seek only to drain their client’s precious, limited wealth, Matt’s primary goal is to achieve his client’s needs. This begins with an honest evaluation of the case. Matt will not simply tell potential clients what they “want” to hear in order to obtain their business. He will discuss all aspects of the case, and help the potential client manage expectations when making the important decision regarding which family law attorney to hire. Matt is found of telling clients that he does not “need” their money in order to run his law firm. Instead, he truly desires to represent them at such a professional level that he earns their future business and referrals. Matt believes that the highest honor possible to bestow upon an attorney is for a client to refer their friends and family members to his office for their legal needs.
