Championing Justice, Advocating for Change
Meet Jerome Matthews
“Justice means standing up for every individual, every time. It means fighting for fairness, accountability, and dignity in every courtroom.”
Jerome Matthews is a seasoned criminal defense attorney and dedicated advocate for justice in New Orleans. Born and raised in this community, Jerome has spent his career fighting for individuals who need their voices heard the most. With deep roots in the city and a passion for fairness, he believes the courtroom should be a place where justice is accessible to all—not just a privilege for the few.
Building Trust in Our Community
My work is about more than legal victories; it’s about building trust and creating change. As a New Orleans native, I understand the challenges our community faces. My upbringing taught me the value of resilience, family, and service—values I carry with me every day in and out of the courtroom.
A Vision for a Better System
I envision a legal system that reflects the best of New Orleans: diverse, compassionate, and just. Whether advocating for clients or contributing to broader reforms, my goal has always been to make our justice system work for everyone. This vision is what inspires my continued commitment to our community and my eventual pursuit of public service as a judge.
