To introduce Matt Donald simply by saying that he's an Estate Planning Attorney would be to miss a big and informative part of Matt's story. Jeff and his good friend Matt look back at Matt's journey from a Pennsylvania high schooler to a U.S. Army Major to an educator and lawyer. Along the way, they discuss leadership, service, responsibility, and the value of sharing knowledge for free.

Matt opened the Donald Law Office—located outside of Columbus in Baltimore, Ohio—in 2012. The firm serves seniors, veterans, and others throughout the state. Matt and his team specialize in estate planning, probate, trusts, special needs planning, and Medicaid planning.
