    Cassville High School graduate (Class of 2002) Matthew Weatherman is now the Prosecuting Attorney for Ozark County.
    Weatherman’s term will become effective on December 1, 2021, and continue until December 31, 2022.
    Since graduating from Thomas M Cooley School of Law in 2012, and passing the Bar in May of 2013, Weatherman has been working as a sworn-in attorney across Barry, Lawrence, Dallas, Polk, and Howell counties. His current and most recent position at the Howell County Prosecuting Attorney's Office will end November 30, which he has held since spring of 2019.
    “I started my law career while still in Law School,” says Weatherman, “by completing an externship with the Barry County Prosecutor's Office, utilizing Missouri Supreme Court Rule 13, allowing me to practice law as a prosecutor under the guidance of then-prosecutor, and now Associate Circuit Judge, Johnnie Cox, and Assistant Prosecutor J. Patrick Sullivan.”
    Weatherman was then hired by Pamela Musgrave, District Defender of the Area 37 Office of the Public Defender in Monett. Assigned to the Lawrence County docket, Weatherman was then “paired up with Senior Public Defender Brian Smith to help train me.”
    After nearly a decade of being a Public Defender, Weatherman applied for, and was appointed as, Prosecuting Attorney for Ozark County.
