What's Matt Up To?

Matt Placek is a writer/contributor to LawFirms.com. He also makes the coffee, loads content, maintains the foosball table, and makes sure the putting green is level. He'll be heading off to Law School in Alabama after this summer, so we've only got a few months to see what Matt can do (or convince him law school is not such a good idea)!
