Matthew G. Pruden

Since joining the firm in the summer of 2005, Matt Pruden has been defending clients in state and federal courts across North Carolina. Matt’s practice covers the full spectrum of criminal matters, including drug trafficking and conspiracy cases in federal court, and homicide and sex offenses in state court.
