Based in Hays, Kansas, he represents clients facing divorce, child custody questions, property division, and other family disputes. He approaches these matters with attention to the practical and emotional effects of legal decisions on parents, children, and other family members.

Odom completed his undergraduate studies at Fort Hays State University and earned his law degree from the University of Kansas School of Law. After graduating from Hays High School, he served in the United States Army. His educational and military backgrounds inform a structured approach to client service, careful preparation, and the difficult decisions that arise during domestic relations proceedings.

Before joining Kennedy Berkley, Odom worked with Kansas Legal Services. He returned to Hays in 2019 to serve individuals and families in western Kansas, where access to attorneys handling domestic relations matters can be limited. His family law practice addresses disagreements involving parenting arrangements, financial responsibilities, and the distribution of marital property when relationships change.

Odom emphasizes building rapport with clients and understanding the relationships at the center of each case. Rather than treating divorce and custody proceedings as contests with simple winners and losers, he focuses on guidance that considers their lasting consequences. Matt Odom works with individuals navigating significant family transitions and aims to provide clear communication, respectful advocacy, and practical advice throughout the process.
