also known as Mat Paulose, Mat Paulose Jr.
Our business and litigation practice has an exceptional record of success, led by Mat Paulose Jr., a highly regarded attorney recognized for both his published work and his courtroom advocacy. His trial skills have earned praise from the bench: a federal judge once described his performance as “outstanding,” while a state court judge characterized his cross‑examination as “vigorous” and his overall trial presentation as “commendable.”
Mat’s professional experiences and extensive travels—including time in Mexico, Nicaragua, India, Kenya, and Malawi—have sharpened his understanding of people, cultures, and communication. This insight translates directly into his ability to connect with jurors and anticipate their decision‑making processes.
His impact in the courtroom is reflected in juror feedback as well. After one federal fraud trial, jurors remained with him for nearly an hour to discuss the case, his clients, and his advocacy. In a breach‑of‑contract trial, jurors described one of his cross‑examinations as a “zinger,” and in another matter, jurors referred to his overall performance as “amazing.”
