Matthew T. Zwart
Matthew Zwart joined Lennon Miller PLC as an attorney in October of 2022. He is a firm factotum and problem solver, and a go-to for tackling novel issues in contracts, in trusts and estates, and in civil litigation. Matthew is dedicated to delivering high-value service and is deeply invested in achieving successful outcomes for each client. His practice includes a broad range of civil litigation and estate planning.
Matthew’s civil litigation practice spans a broad range of disputes, including contract claims, business torts, real property issues, probate, will contests, no-fault and other auto claims, and personal injury. He represents both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts, managing cases from start to finish, from pre-suit investigation through trial. He takes pride in mastering overlapping fields of litigation and delivering a broad range of skills through diligent advocacy.
In addition to his litigation work, Matthew provides comprehensive estate planning and estate administration services. He guides clients through the preparation of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney with clarity and care, tailoring each plan to the client’s goals and circumstances. When a client passes, he can step in to provide estate and trust administration services, ensuring compliance with legal requirements while easing a family’s burden during difficult times.
On a personal note, Matthew was raised in Kalamazoo. He enthusiastically enjoys board games and pub trivia. On occasion he sings baritone in the church choir. He is an Eagle Scout. He has a class A CDL and is thus part of that select group of attorneys who can also drive a semi-truck. He is passionate about community involvement and, if asked, will enthusiastically connect you to an array of local non-profits that can always use more help. In his spare time remaining, he helps coach the Kalamazoo Central High School Mock Trial Team, where the students keep him sharp with their brilliant minds and creative objections.
