Matthew Shrum

I’m Matthew Shrum, an Austin attorney whose practice is focused on helping people after serious injuries – especially those caused by car, truck and other motor vehicle accidents. When someone else’s carelessness turns your life upside down, you deserve an advocate who can move quickly, build a strong case and push back when an insurance company tries to minimize what you’ve been through.

I earned my law degree from The University of Texas School of Law and began my legal career as a prosecutor in Travis County. That courtroom experience matters in personal injury cases. I learned how to investigate claims, evaluate evidence, work with law enforcement and witnesses, and prepare cases to be proven – not just argued. Insurance companies know the difference between a lawyer who negotiates and a lawyer who is ready and able to take a case to trial, and I bring that trial-tested mindset to every injury claim I handle.

My goal is straightforward: to guide you through the process, keep you informed, and pursue the full compensation you need for medical care, lost income, and the impact your injuries have had on your daily life.
