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.

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 had success with Matt a few years ago when he assisted me in evicting a squatter. This time around, the new property owners bought the property and tried to illegally evict everyone. I immediately called Matt. Matt is a capable and competent attorney who explains everything clearly. I had no do...ubt Matt would win my case. The new property owner has a storied history of illegally evicting tenants and flipping properties. Although Silver Lake is RSO (Rent Control), the company relentlessly tried to evict. After they filed an unlawful detainer, I met with Matt at his office and was impressed with his knowledge of how best to respond. Throughout the ordeal, Matt was professional and quick to respond whenever I called him with questions or concerns. His fee was reasonable and well worth it. Matt stopped the eviction and successfully got the case dismissed. I am forever grateful.
