Matthew Golden

Matthew Golden is a partner with Daniels Associates LLP in Louisville and has practiced law since 1997. His background includes bankruptcy, debt restructuring, property law, personal injury, government service, and civil litigation. He joined Daniels Associates in 2015 after nearly two decades of work in public and private practice. His current professional record also includes service as a Chapter 7 panel trustee in the Western District of Kentucky, giving him direct experience with bankruptcy administration.

Golden attended Transylvania University, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law. His education was followed by a career that combined prosecution, private civil practice, bankruptcy, and public service. That varied background supports work involving financial disputes, property interests, debt problems, and litigation requiring careful review of records, procedure, and competing claims.

Golden began his legal career with the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office as a trial prosecutor and advanced to First Assistant County Attorney. He later spent many years in private practice handling bankruptcy, debt restructuring, property law, and personal injury matters before joining Daniels Associates. His reported results include significant recoveries in mortgage-fraud and trucking-injury litigation. He retired from government practice in 2019 while continuing his private legal and bankruptcy-related work.

Matthew Golden combines courtroom, government, bankruptcy, and civil litigation experience in his Louisville practice. His work as a Chapter 7 trustee and private attorney gives him familiarity with the practical and procedural issues that arise when individuals, creditors, property interests, and financial obligations intersect. He helps clients evaluate legal options, organize financial and factual records, and address disputes through bankruptcy procedures, negotiation, litigation, or other available legal processes.
