About Matthew B.
Matthew B. Ferrell earned his law degree from the University of Missouri–Columbia in 2009 after completing a Bachelor of Science at Southeast Missouri State University in 2005. He returned to the area the place he studied to build a legal career anchored in Midwestern practice and institutions. Those academic years shaped the procedural and analytical groundwork he nevertheless makes use of in daily practice.
He is certified to practice in each Illinois and Missouri. That twin admission lets him advise and represent clients whose matters cross state lines. Over time he has navigated the procedural differences that include practicing in two neighboring jurisdictions.
Ferrell’s professional trail led him to Johnson, Schneider & Ferrell L.L.C., where he works alongside colleagues handling a range of client things. The listing of his experience places him on the company, and his work there ties directly to the geographic scope of his admissions. He joined the company after law school and has remained there as he built his practice.
At the firm he takes at the legal tasks that come through the workplace doors. He prepares court filings, meets with clients, and looks when required by the problem. His practice includes both advising clients and responding to disputes that require court appearances or negotiated answers. Colleagues describe him as continuous and organized; clients see a lawyer who attends to procedural detail and deadlines.
Outside of person casework, Ferrell maintains current on changes in Illinois and Missouri regulation. He applies study room classes from Missouri to the practical realities facing clients in each states. That practical orientation courses how he structures case plans and communicates alternatives to clients.
His professional life is organized across the day-to-day needs of the company and the jurisdictions where he is admitted. He regularly handles things for people and agencies that convey cases or questions into the firm’s workplace, coordinating steps throughout state lines when necessary. He maintains an active position at Johnson, Schneider & Ferrell L.L.C., serving clients in Illinois and Missouri and addressing the things they carry to the firm.
