Matt Evan Orellana Finkelberg

Working with Matt was truly a blessing, I thank my mentor for referring him to me. It was a journey but Matt never gave up and I’m so thankful. He fought for me and I’ve been able to move on with my life without being scared or having anxiety with the people I work with. I love the company I’m with.... A new positive journey I’m on now and I couldn’t be happier. Matt was a huge part of my new journey. I’d recommend him to anyone that is in need of assistance. Thank you so much Matt!

Matt Finkelberg is a life saver. During this whole process not only did I have a great lawyer but I also made a great friend. Matt was very at tentative to my case, and mental health. Matt helped me during probably the darkest time of my life and for that I am forever grateful to have came across the... Derek Smith law group. As a past client, I 100% recommend Matt Finkleberg. Matt provides a safe space for his clients and is very dedicated to fight for those struggling with sexual harassment.

Matt Finkelberg is a top notch lawyer. He is very easy to talk to and truly cared about me as his client. He definitely earned my trust and confidence in his capabilities to represent me in the most professional respects. I give Matt and his firm the Derek Smith Law Group my highest recommendation... to anyone who is seeking legal help for employee/employer related matters.

Matt handled a suit against the City of LA and members of the a Neighborhood Council for racial discrimination and harassment. Ths was the first suit of this type filed on a Neighborhood Council Matt handled it with poise and above all professionalism. He walked me through the 3 year process and a...bove all provided moral support and encouragement as I still experienced racism and harassment during the 3 year process. The settlement of almost 100k, I understand from others is huge for the City of LA for a suit of this type and being the first. More importantly than the settlement was the vindication that the settlement brought. Matt is fearless and not afraid to venture in the uncharted territories of the law and challenge the status quo. All in all he is a great guy.
