Matthew Feinman started his career in the entertainment industry. He worked his way up from Production Assistant to Director of Photography and Producer. After getting his Bachelor’s Degree in Entertainment Business and his Masters Degree in Business Administration, he opened his own video production company in Orlando, FL. He worked for 8 years in Orlando in the areas of Entertainment and Business Management. He has worked for small companies and large corporations, working at all levels of industry.
Knowing that the law was his true calling, he moved to Pittsburgh, PA to attend the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where he received his Juris Doctor. While he has spent some of his time working for large firms in litigation support roles, the majority of his law experience has been working with individual clients seeking debt relief assistance or who need estate planning help, mostly drafting wills and powers of attorney.
When not working, Attorney Feinman spends his time with his wife and children. They enjoy exploring Pittsburgh, learning at the Carnegie Science Center, and finding fun places to try new cuisines. He serves on the Parent Association of Community Day School and as a Board Member of the Hebrew Free Loan Association of Pittsburgh, and also teaches high school aged kids at Beth El Congregation of the South Hills.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Matthew has shown a dedication to his clients far beyond the average attorney. He is not only concerned with their legal needs, but also how those needs affect their everyday lives. His pragmatic approach lets me know that any client I refer to him will be taken care of.
Matt is a wonderfully competent attorney and a an all around lovely person to work with. I have gotten to know Matt on a personal and professional level and have always been impressed by his skills and professional behavior.
