Dedicated and professional

I've hired Matthew many times over the last 4 years and he's been an absolute pleasure work with. Extremely knowledgeable and has been beyond dedicated to every project. He's helped me with real estate issues all the way to detailed intellectual property cases. Would highly recommend him and will con...tinue to hire Matthew for all my legal needs.

Solid Advice - Solved Problem Immediately

Highest possible rating on AVVO. He was easy to reach, listened well, gave me a plan, told me what to do and what not to do in troubling a landlord situation. Peace of mind right away. Will be my go-to attorney.

Quick response, quality guidance

Matthew was fast to respond to my request for assistance navigating an apartment uninhabitability dispute with my landlord. His counsel was clear and actionable. Would recommend him to anyone facing tenant-landlord issues.

Knows it all

I have consulted with Matt on a few occasions, and Matt is always available to answer questions and he is so knowledgeable about everything landlord tenant. He even knows a lot of the landlords which is helpful in determining how to handle a situation. I have consulted with other attorneys who don't... even compare to his level of care and work.

A wonderful, Conscious, Strategic Lawyer that I truly trust. Highly recommend!

My building had a pipe burst and there was a huge flood. The city was called due to negligence of recovery and repairs from my landlords. An extremely stressful situation to be in. The property was an illegal unit. The city ordered my landlords to vacate the tenants and to pay us all relocation fe...es to move out. City codes were violated and it was an illegal operation. The landlords not only did not cooperate, but also harassed us and in the end unlawfully filed an eviction against me. I called Matthew in the beginning stages of the city complaints. He was incredibly helpful and informative in the beginning as a consult. Most of the lawyers I spoke to were very distracted and fast talking and hardly paid any attention to what I was saying or the details. They were incredibly vague and quick to then shove a hefty hourly rate before I even knew if I needed a lawyer or not. Matthew was the only one who really seemed to listen to my situation and offer me advice on how I could move forward or not. He was very kind and patient, yet professional. Once the city labeled our building as illegal I was threatened and then was served an eviction notice. Matthew advised me on how I could move forward on my own and or with his help. From that point on he represented me. I could not be more happy with the guidance and work that he did for me. He is incredibly fair and trustworthy. I left the situation with a settlement and did not even have to go to court. Matthew went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of in the end. Even going through the last stages of retrieving payments from my landlord was made complicated by lack on their end...Matthew rose to the occasion and made sure I was compensated. Even with challenging circumstances (without going into details). He was incredibly fair with pricing and empathetic towards my situation. He always told me ahead of time what I was looking at and what to expect so I could make an educated decision ...vs. other lawyers who I have heard about who are quick to do work for you and add charges later for things you never knew about and or were not even aware of. I was informed 100 percent of the time on what to expect. I also asked a million questions, all of the time! He is Always so professional and detailed with his responses and requests and I felt supported through out the whole journey...as well as educated through the process. Which may I add was quite long and frustrating at times. Dealing with landlords is a complete nightmare. Especially in Los Angeles. I feel very blessed to have found Matthew and his team to be, what I consider in my eyes to be the nicest lawyers in LA. Truly concerned for the well being of the client, and conscious through out the whole process. Thank you again for all your help Matthew! I am so very grateful for all your efforts!

"I co-counseled with Matt on a lease dispute matter and he is an excellent landlord-tenant attorney. He is a skilled researcher, and I was impressed with his professionalism with clients and opposing counsel. He also brings pragmatic advice in other areas of law, such as business disputes and breach of contract issues. I referred another client to Matt and his hourly rate was very affordable. I highly recommend Matt for landlord-tenant dispute resolution."
