Matthew Sonneby

Attorney

Matthew T. Sonneby graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 2017 with a degree in Environmental Science. He later attended Gonzaga University School of Law, continuing the family legacy of becoming an attorney.

Matthew began his career in Washington State, where he successfully defended the State of Washington and its agencies in personal injury, insurance defense, and civil rights claims. He has since decided to turn his attention to the other side of the bar to defend criminal defendants in their hour of need. This decision brought him to Bend, Oregon, where he began in public defense, representing indigent and underrepresented individuals. He later joined Ward Grover & Thomas & Thomas, LLP, in Bend, Oregon, where he now works amongst the region's most respected criminal defense attorneys.

Matthew is admitted to the bar in Oregon, Washington State, the Federal District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Washington, and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. In his spare time, he enjoys biking, hiking, and traveling with his wife and three dogs.

"You want a pit bull for lawyer you hire Ms. Shelby"
If you value your time and money, look no further. Ms. Shelby is not about filler or drama—she is straightforward, hardworking, and focused on results. She is an excellent defense attorney who makes sure you understand what’s happening without unnecessary confusion. She is clear, consistent, and communicates effectively throughout your case. She responds in a timely and professional manner and is well spoken and knowledgeable. The legal team she works with is equally impressive, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to choose Ms. Shelby and her team to represent me.
