About Matthew
Biography
I am a Board Certified Worker's Compensation Attorney by the Arizona State Bar, and a native Phoenician. I am "AV" rated by Martindale-Hubbell as a "Preeminent Attorney." I am the founding Member of Matt Fendon Law Group, the Rock for Injured and Disabled Workers. I was the managing partner for Fendon Law Firm, PC from 2009-2017. I was a certified paralegal prior to attending law school and have worked in the worker's compensation industry since 2001. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two boys, lifting weights, and playing golf. I also enjoy following the NFL, NCAA and Major League Baseball. The only time I lived outside of Arizona was for law school in Lansing, Michigan.
