Matthew G. Pruden

Matthew G. Pruden joined Tin Fulton Walker & Owen in 2005. Since then, he 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.

Born and raised in Charlotte, Matthew G. Pruden attended law school at Wake Forest University School of Law before returning to Charlotte to practice law.
