About William
Biography
William Mattar is the founder of William Mattar, New York State’s largest motor vehicle accident law firm. Inspired at a young age by his father, a lawyer in Western New York, William Mattar grew up watching firsthand how legal advocacy could help people through difficult times. That early exposure shaped his decision to pursue a career in law with a focus on helping others.
William Mattar earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh in 1986 and received his Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law in 1988. After gaining experience at another law firm, he founded William Mattar in 1990 in Williamsville, New York.
While the firm initially handled a variety of legal matters, William Mattar now focuses exclusively on motor vehicle accident injury cases, including car, truck, motorcycle, and rideshare accidents. With more than 35 years of experience, he has helped build a firm that has represented tens of thousands of people injured in motor vehicle accidents across New York State. Today, the firm serves clients statewide with offices in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany.
In addition to his legal practice, William Mattar is deeply committed to community service. He is an Eagle Scout and has long been involved with the Boy Scouts of America, Greater Niagara Frontier Council. Since 2002, he has served as chairman of the organization’s annual dinner, helping raise funds that support programs benefiting more than 10,000 children. He is also active in his church and has held leadership roles in numerous civic and charitable organizations.
Outside of work, William Mattar enjoys spending time with his wife and children, cooking, hiking, and volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America alongside his sons, who have also earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
Helping people navigate the legal process after a motor vehicle accident has been the focus of my practice for more than 35 years, and it’s a responsibility I take seriously.

Everything was answered
I was looking for a well known law office. I remembered the 4's from TV. Any time I called I was able to hear back. I asked a ton of questions and everything was answered. I was told what steps to take with my medical treatment and the DA. There were a couple things that slowed the case down but that...

Replied last August 06, 2013Lynn, Thank you for your input! We are always working to better our client’s experience. We do have a fairly unique phone call system that allows a client’s call to automatically be connected to the person that can help him within our firm without the need to speak to a receptionist or listen to phone menus. Our system is designed with the hope that your question could be answered before you get off your phone. I have always thought that speaking with a person instead of having voice mail was better. However, based on your thoughtful comment I will explore your suggestion of using voice mail in some forms as we move forward. Again, thank you for your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
