Have you ever noticed that successful people are seldom successful at only one thing? Successful people tend to have character attributes that translate across disciplines to allow for success in multiple arenas. When considering attorneys to join the KPM team, activities outside the law are just as important as those credentials evident in a legal career resume. KPM is proud of the team members who are marathon runners, celebrated opera singers, competitive cyclists, and globally-ranked Ironmen. The tenacity these individuals show in these personal pursuits tends to be every bit as evident in their legal practice. Consider KPM’s Southwest Virginia office’s Matt Liller. Matt is a successful attorney respected by peers, clients, and opposing counsel, working hard to build his practice in Virginia and West Virginia. But Matt works equally hard at his bodybuilding practice – and the practice of the law and bodybuilding indeed have a lot in common. 
Matt begins most weekdays by 4:00 AM to get in a workout and two meals before getting to the office. Alongside the legal pads and pens, you’ll always find a protein bar in his briefcase at any deposition to squeeze in a meal if necessary. He has taken note that in both bodybuilding and legal practice the biggest differences are usually made when nobody is watching. Matt says, “The hard work behind the scenes allows you to shine when the lights are on.” Matt prides himself in being cordial and professional, but when the inevitable times come to be stern or take a hard stand for a client, he’s found that his muscular stature can help get his point across. If you want Matt standing up to opposing counsel for you, you’ll find him defending claims in West Virginia and Virginia from KPM’s office in Roanoke.
