100% satisfaction

I have had to hire Matthew for his services on 3 separate occasions and each time I have left COMPLETELY SATISFIED AND HAPPY! In one case, I got EXACTLY what it was I wanted, and didn't lose anything that was at risk. The second time I enlisted his help, he settled my case out of court, and got me a ...very hefty settlement. The most recent time I had the pleasure of watching this genius in action was when a lawsuit was brought against me. We were unsuccessful in mediation, and took the case to trial. He was once again victorious! The 3 times I've used him I have been so glad I did. I've seen a 100% success rate with him. I'm already hiring him to represent me in a new case, because I know that when he goes to bat for me, IT IS ALWAYS A HOME RUN!!!! ANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS ABOUT HIM MUST BE FALSE! He is the best!!!!

Any Client of Matthew's I have known has always been MORE than satisfied with his amazing work, and so am I!

It is good to know that there is at least 1 lawyer out there that is uncompromising in his integrity, his devotion to his clients, his remarkable skills as a litigator and trial lawyer, and his compassion and true love he holds for each of his clients. Matthew Krupnick keeps the same commitment even ...for those that, in my humble opinion, do not deserve the type of individualized and devoted skills and heart Matthew Krupnick pours into every case. I have known Matthew for several years now, and to see that he has held on to the fire, the passion, the hunger, all those things that drive us as humans to break the mold and set new standards of excellence, it inspires me. I can see what a harsh toll this business of “justice” must take on him, but he is relentless, and while I worry about how hard he works, I must say, he is an inspiration to me and my family and I felt compelled to state this publicly, especially in light of ignorant reviews by people who clearly are not clients of Matthew’s or at a minimum, are not telling the truth as they try to push an obvious agenda of slandering this lawyer who has literally saved and/or positively and profoundly changed the lives of thousands. Matthew and his team run a firm like no other I have ever experienced. Matthew has never made a promise he didn't keep, never missed an appointment, a meeting, a court hearing, or anything else that would show he is anything less than honorable, dependable, and dedicated to his clients and his practice of law. I was and always will feel completely blessed to have had Matthew Krupnick (and not just because his reputation and ratings on sites like this, and many other sites, organizations and impressive award presentation groups that continue to prove Matthew to be what I believe 1 of the most well-respected, award-winning attorneys who still has the true passion to fight even the toughest fights all the way to the end, against any odds, to get each client, big or small, with cases of multimillion dollar value as well as those smaller cases, every single ounce of justice they are entitled to). I will admit that Matthew has represented me several times, and despite others saying I had no case, or a case that was impossible to win, Matthew made me believe in myself and encouraged me to fight for what I felt was right and just. That resulted in Matthew battling a ruthless, multi-million dollar insurance company and their team of lawyers assigned to beat Matthew so that I would not get anything despite what a jury ruled, which was that they owed me almost one million dollars. So yes, if that makes me biased then I guess I am. But the fact remains, Matthew changed my life and the life I can provide for my family forever, and he did it because he believed in me and knew we were fighting for justice and not just money. Throughout the world wide web, one is hard pressed to find anything other than tributes to Matthew, his firm, the awards he continues to win, the victories he continues to achieve, his growing notoriety and exposure in the media for his fearless litigation against those who would do anything to hurt Matthew for standing up to them and fighting for his clients. I dare say some of these big money companies are capable of writing bad reviews on this site and anywhere else they can, either as some “anonymous concerned client” or some other fictional, make-believe character used to slander the good name of one of the last truly great lawyers left in this business. Matthew is still so young it always amazes me when I am reminded of his age. I hope you continue to fight against the odds Matthew, and know that you are appreciated by your clients, your friends, your family, and anyone who truly knows you. You are one of a kind, and I am so thankful to have found you and I sleep better at night knowing that you are just a phone call away if we ever need you. From me and my whole family, THANK YOU Matthew. -Polino and the gang ;-)

It is clients like you and your amzing family that make it all worth it. Thank you my friend for the amazing words. They make this daily struggle for justice so clearly worth it. I know that need not be said, but you know you are always welcome to come back to me with any questions or legal concerns or matters at any time. It is always my pleasure to help you and you amazing family. Cheers. MK

Matthew Krupnick is what a lawyer SHOULD be!!!!

Matthew Krupnick is one of the few great attorneys left that not only cares about his clients, but will fight against anyone for his clients including taking them to trial to make sure justice is served. I would definitely recommend him to ANYONE!

Posted by Barbara O. | September 09, 2013 | Litigation

Matthew is a rock I can always count on!

Before Matthew and his firm started helping me with my legal issue, I thought I was going to just lay down and give up on everything. I was being torn apart by this mean and aggressive defense attorney, until, that is, I retained the Krupnick Firm and got to see why they call Matthew the Black Belt L...itigator. He literally kicks butt, but does so in a prestigious, caring and protective way for his clients. He always said he thought of his clients as family, and I now understand what he means. He treats each client like part of his real family, taking their calls on weekends, coming to their rescue during emergencies, fighting uphill battles defying all odds, etc. Lawyers are NOT all bad people. We need more of them like Matthew to help restore their good names!

"I endorse this lawyer. Matthew is one of the great young lawyers in Los Angeles whose fearlessness allows him to take on any matter and come out with justice. We recently reviewed evidence on a difficult auto collision case where a police officer in Hawthorne ran a red light, camera on, and caused a violent collision. Most lawyers would not take the case because it involves authorities and credibility. But Matthew fought hard, typical of him, and battled for fair compensation, and won. He works with the best lawyers in Los Angeles, Mike Alder, people who are leaders, and he'll be one himself soon!"

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have worked with Matthew for over 6 years in the trenches of hard fought litigation. I often tell people about some of the skills Matthew has, or the accomplishments he has achieved at such a young age, and people often find it hard to believe. Not only is he one of the sharpest, most fearless and talented litigators I know, but he is loyal to those he loves to a fault. As a co-worker before he opened KRUPNICK & KRUPNICK (where I am now working with Matthew, his amazing mom and partner Vivian Krupnick, and the rest of our incredible staff), we worked together for close to 5 years doing litigation against the best firms and biggest and most hard to deal with insurance companies in the world. There was never a time that I needed help that Matthew didn't INSIST on helping me (Thankfully!). He taught me many things, both as a litigator, and as a person. He always saw the positive in me and made me believe I could accomplish annything. I am proud to endorse Matthew Krupnick and his firm."
