Texas deserves judges who know the law, apply it faithfully, and treat every litigant with fairness and respect. Matthew Kolodoski has spent his career preparing to do exactly that. Matthew is a seasoned trial and appellate attorney who has represented clients through all phases of trial and appellate proceedings in state and federal courts throughout Texas. He is a partner at a leading litigation boutique and is board certified in both Consumer and Commercial Law and Insurance Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Matthew believes every person who comes before the courts is entitled to equal and impartial justice. For him, a judge’s duty is to apply the law as written, to consider every argument with care, and to decide every case without favor, prejudice, or preconception. If given the privilege to serve on the Fifth Court of Appeals, Matthew will be guided by the rule of law, respect for the limited role of the judiciary, and an unwavering commitment to treat every person who comes before the Court with fairness, dignity, and equal respect.
