Matt Evan Orellana Finkelberg

Matt Finkleberg and his team at Derek Smith Law Group handled each and every one of my concerns flawlessly. All the emotions that had me feeling trapped for so long, they held with deep concern and care. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and at times my emotions can get the best of me; however, they ...were so patient and attentive to all my needs. Many a times when I felt afraid or unsure of myself, they encouraged, uplifted, and supported me through and through. I could not have asked for a better team to represent me with such a sensitive event and experience in my life. If you’re looking for a team who is professional, sharp, quick-witted, compassionate, and ready to charge into battle alongside you, then here you have found the warriors you need. Thank you again for working tirelessly to give me the peace of mind I needed to move forward with my life. Every ounce of pain did not go unnoticed or unseen. My life has truly been changed forever, and for that I am filled with nothing but gratitude.

Going through the kind of occurrence that brings you to a lawyer specializing in this type of law can be traumatizing, and draining. Matt is the kind of lawyer that is not only kind, and helpful but goes the extra step to help you feel safe, respected and welcomed. He is more than happy to hold your ...hand through this tough process with patience and understanding, as he fights for justice in your situation. I am forever thankful for what he has done for me. He truly wants what is best for you, which is a rare find in not only a person, but a lawyer.

This review is long over due but I wanted to make sure I was in a clear and peaceful head space to take the time out to explain how Matt Finkelberg changed my life. When I first met Matt I was a mess, hurt, confused, and honestly didn't know what to do. "Last year I decided to pick up my phone an...d search for attorney's and by the Grace of God, the universe, or pure look I was on the phone with Matt and right away he decided to help me with my situation and gave me the advice I needed". When I met Matt in person I felt a sense of relief and comfort. He decided to take action right away. I remember I was the one who was prolonging my paperwork just going through so much at the time; He was patient and professional every step of the way. He made sure to answer my calls or return my calls if he couldn't answer. I honestly felt like I was just on the phone with my friend when we did speak. That's how comfortable he made me feel. During the closing of my case when I took things a bit personal and also dealing with the sudden death of my Mom; I felt like I became a more difficult client but Matt was compassionate and empathetic to my situation. I voiced my opinions, my concerns, and we addresed them all. I even laughed at myself at the end and said, "Am I arguing with my attorney? lol I am being too emotional". However the ending was everything he promised me and what he told me he expected from the other party since the begining of my case. I walked away feeling like I can take on anything! I am able to start a whole new chapter in my life and for that I am very grateful for Matt. Thank you for everything you have done for me you are Amazing! Happy New Year Matt and best wishes to 2023 may this year bring you more WINS!

During the time that I really needed a good counselor and I was approaching different attorneys unfortunately before they heard the problem they were demanding a retainer fee. A friend of mine introduced me to the Derek Smith Law Group and I was very fortunate to be answered by Matt Finkelberg who wa...s very polite and understanding and gave me a lot of confidence without asking for any fees in front and during the times he followed my case, he showed me his ability, knowledge, and his ability to overcome adversity. He is a very nice gentleman and very patient with his clients. I was very fortunate to meet Matt and will never forget his kindness. I will refer friends and family who need a high class lawyer.
