Alex
Law clerk | Mattox Law
After growing up in the Shenandoah Valley, Alex attended Radford University, and The University of Richmond School of Law.

Outside the office, Alex enjoys snowboarding, hiking, CrossFit, rock shows, Taco Tuesday, trivia night, and nerding out on Lord of The Rings and Star Wars.
