As a law student, Mr. Solomon took part in Hofstra’s Mediation Clinic, mediating numerous family law dispute and supervision cases. He was certified to mediate divorce disputes cases and PINS cases in New York. Also while a student, he clerked in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas for the Honorable Annette M. Rizzo.

In 2015 Mr. Solomon received his L.L.M in Trial Advocacy from Temple University Beasley School of Law. He focuses his practice on personal injury matters, as well as leads Dion, Solomon & Shapiro’s Landlord Tenant Litigation Department representing both landlords and tenants in disputes. Matthew also volunteers with Philadelphia VIP, conducting pro bono representation of homeowners in mortgage foreclosure disputes.

Outside the courtroom, Matthew is an active cyclist who participates in numerous long-distance charity rides, as well as in fund-raising campaigns for non-profits including the American Cancer Society, LiveStrong Foundation and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Since college, he has raised more than ten thousand dollars for these charitable organizations, most recently completing his second 100-mile ride for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

    Review Matthew Solomon

    Fraudulent lawsuit

    Posted by

    When a scam artist stole over $12000 from me and I didn't have any funds for a lawyer Matt and his firm took on my case. He's an amazing lawyer and communicates with his client regularly to update you during the entire process. Thanks again Matt. Always appreciate what you did.

    There are not many people left in this world who are truly willing to provide you with a service that benefits you. Mr. Solomon reviewed my case facts and was honest with me not only about my options but about the process, cost and odds for success. He did not try to push me to move forward. Over a year later I had a legal question and he was there to help. He was kind, courteous, and super responsive.

    Gave me some ideas that I would not have thought of on how to handle this situation. Also gave me an overview of my landlord's rights as well as mine for the state of Pennsylvania. Overall a good experience.

    Tenant/landlord Suit

    Posted by

    Matt was an excellent choice to run my and my roommates suit against our old landlord. I believe he charged a fair fee, especially compared to the amount that we were suing for. He was very knowledgeable in every aspect of our case, and kept us informed of every action that occurred. Matt was also able to give excellent advice on how to proceed with certain areas of the suit. When it came time to actually go in front of the judge, Matt was extremely prepared, confident, and had an answer for every question the judge asked, and a well thought out response to every accusation the Landlord's lawyer discussed. I was extremely impressed in the way he was able to apply the different aspects of the law to our case and have detailed knowledge to succeed. We ended up winning our case! Thank you, Matt, for your hard work in getting us a favorable judgement in our lawsuit.
