About Matt Foster

Matt Foster is a highly skilled yet down-to-earth attorney who has won difficult cases for hundreds of clients. Matt’s deep experience, along with his common sense, integrity, and keen ability, make him a formidable advocate.

Matt was born and raised in Coweta, Oklahoma, a small town where people knew and cared about their neighbors. His dad was the high-school principal and his mom worked at the local Wal-Mart. In Coweta, Matt gained small-town sensibilities and a sense of community that have stayed with him and influence the way he practices law.

Matt graduated with a Finance degree from Northeastern State University, a state college about an hour from where he grew up. After that, Matt spent two years as an associate pastor in his home church before heading to law school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Matt was an honors graduate at Vanderbilt, where he earned Order of the Coif honors (top 10% of his class), served as Managing Editor for the Vanderbilt Law Review, and earned a position on the Vanderbilt Moot Court board.

Following law school, Matt spent two years clerking in Indianapolis for U.S. District Judge Larry McKinney, whose wisdom and good humor made a permanent positive impression. After his clerkship ended, Matt worked as a business and healthcare litigator at premier firms in Texas and Indianapolis, then ran litigation for an Indianapolis firm representing healthcare clients in employment litigation, Medicare/Medicaid fraud, Stark, anti-kickback, licensing, and other business matters and disputes. Matt later served as general counsel to a small Christian college in Ohio and as a legal services attorney, offering aggressive yet compassionate representation to hundreds of individuals in family law, bankruptcy, landlord/tenant, consumer protection, and administrative/agency cases.

Most recently, Matt served as CEO of a psychiatric hospital, which enhanced his ability to view healthcare compliance, management, employment, and reimbursement from the perspective of a client. Before that, Matt was Indiana’s chief regulator for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospitals, home health agencies, and some two dozen other types of healthcare providers. Matt’s rare and deep experience as an attorney has uniquely equipped him to provide top-flight counsel and advocacy for health care providers, businesses, and individual clients.
On a personal level, Matt has been married since college to the love of his life, Debra. They are long-time residents of Westfield (go Rocks!) and have two adult children.
