Matthew Waring

A divorce case does not last forever, but the decisions made during it can affect a family for years. I founded Fairway Law Group to help people make those decisions with clear information, sound strategy, and a firm understanding of what they want life to look like when the case is over.

I have been a licensed Florida attorney since 2013. Before establishing my firm, I spent nearly a decade in high-stakes litigation. I began at Florida’s largest trial law firm defending Fortune 500 insurance companies, then joined a major personal injury firm where I recovered millions for clients while managing hundreds of active cases.

Effective advocacy is not about creating the most conflict. It is about knowing when to negotiate, when to apply pressure, and when a case needs to be tried. I help clients separate the issues that truly matter from the distractions, so they can make informed decisions with life beyond the case in mind.

I grew up in a working-class family, and my parents divorced when I was 13. I was the first college graduate in my family and built my career on my own. That experience shapes how I approach every case: the case will end, but the client’s life will continue, and every important decision should be made with that future in mind.

I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of Florida Levin College of Law and my bachelor’s degrees in Economics and Political Science from the University of North Florida. I have been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star multiple years, including 2026, and I am a dedicated father and a defender of children’s wellbeing in and out of court.
