Matt Evan Orellana Finkelberg

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience working with Matt Finkelberg. From the very beginning, Matt approached my case with an incredible level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication that immediately put me at ease. It is rare to find an attorney who not only possesses an impressive d...epth of legal expertise but who also truly cares about the well-being and best interests of their client. That is exactly what you get with Matt. What stood out to me the most was Matt's communication style. He is clear, concise, and thorough in every interaction. He took the time to make sure I fully understood every aspect of my case, my options, and the potential outcomes. There was never a moment where I felt confused, rushed, or out of the loop. Matt was consistently available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and talk through strategy, no matter how small or large the detail. That kind of accessibility and attentiveness is rare and incredibly valuable during what can often be a stressful process. Matt is also a master negotiator and a strategic thinker. He handled every challenge that arose in my case with confidence, precision, and integrity. He remained calm, focused, and solution oriented at all times, which not only resulted in a favorable outcome for me but also made the entire process far less intimidating. I genuinely felt like I had the best possible advocate in my corner at all times. There were definitely moments throughout this process when I felt overwhelmed and emotionally drained, as anyone going through a legal battle can understand. There were times I felt like giving up, but Matt and his team never let me lose sight of what I was fighting for. Their steady support, reassurance, and encouragement carried me through the hardest days and gave me the strength to keep going. Knowing I had a team that genuinely cared made all the difference. Beyond his professionalism and skill, Matt is simply a good person. He treated me with empathy, respect, and care every step of the way. It is clear he does not just see his clients as cases. He understands that there are real lives, emotions, and futures on the line, and he shows up with humanity, heart, and a genuine desire to help. If you are looking for an attorney who is sharp, trustworthy, communicative, and will fight for you like you are family, look no further than Matt Finkelberg. Working with him was the best decision I could have made, and I am deeply grateful for everything he did on my behalf. I would recommend Matt to anyone without hesitation. He is truly one of the best.

I can't recommend Matt Finkelberg enough! Matt was fantastic at listening to my scenario, evaluating how the case would proceed, and providing realistic expectations for potential outcomes. Matt and his team were very communicative - keeping me informed of all the latest developments and never left m...e feeling like I didn't understand what was happening. In addition, Matt brought an exceptional level of professionalism and eye for detail that left me confident he was looking out for my best interests. I have already referred others to Matt and he will be the first person I call for any Legal matters in the future.

I am extremely grateful to have had Matt Finkleberg represent me from “ Derek Smith Law Group”. Due to the complexity of my case , I was impressed by his calm demeanor and his steady professionalism. He guided me every step of the way, leaving no question. Most importantly Matt showed empathy! I... was very satisfied with the outcome of my case, and would highly recommend his council to anyone today

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.
