Matt Eichelberger Jackson Criminal Lawyer

Matt began practicing law in 2003 with the Jackson law firm of Sanford & Harper, where he worked for now-U.S. Congressman Gregg Harper. Seeking to get as much trial experience as possible, Matt became the Assistant Public Defender for Washington County, Mississippi in 2004.

While there, he tried 18 felony cases to a jury verdict, including trials for murder, manslaughter, rape, armed robbery, house burglary, auto theft, aggravated assault, shooting into an occupied dwelling, business burglary, and possession of controlled substance with the intent to distribute. Aside from representing people at trial, Matt also represented hundreds of Washington County residents on crimes ranging from capital murder to drug possession to embezzlement. In 2012, Matt opened the Eichelberger Law Firm, where he continues to focus on criminal defense and civil rights throughout Mississippi and Texas. He remains passionately interested in exposing forensic science fraud in our nation’s courtrooms and has taught continuing legal education classes on that topic, as well as other subjects such as cross-examination and void dire.
