Matt Evan Orellana Finkelberg

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.

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.

Matt Finkleberg is the most effective attorney I have ever worked with. From the outset, it was evident that he was not just another lawyer; he was a beacon of hope during my darkest of hours. Matt consistently returned my calls promptly, regardless of my questions, confusion, or self-doubt and ga...ve me the strength during each step of this barbaric process with unparalleled patience and a demeaner so compassionate, you might mistake his kindness for weakness. Thank God I didn’t! There is no one I’d rather have in my corner. Matt’s approach to law transcends legal representation. His profound humanity, integrity, and depth of compassion and insight, separates him from other lawyers I’ve hired. Matt signifies not just excellence in law, but a deeply rooted commitment to the truth, justice, and what is right. Without Matt I might have stayed silent, given up, and lost faith in our judicial system. Instead… I am free and eternally grateful for his unrelenting support. I cannot recommend him highly enough to others in need of a true advocate. Matt was the one person I trusted completely with his experience, expertise, and guidance during the most challenging time of my life. In what seemed like an overwhelming, insurmountable world of defeat, Matt was my protector, my rock, and gave me the strength to stand up for what was right. I’m grateful to him for what he has done. Matt not only altered the course of my life but might have saved it.

Matt is, without a doubt, the finest attorney I have ever had the privilege to hire. His extensive knowledge and approach are meticulous, leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of justice for his clients. But Matt’s abilities extend far beyond legal prowess; he is genuinely kind and compassionat...e. He goes above and beyond to understand his client's unique needs, working tirelessly to create a tailored strategy for each case. He offers a comprehensive analysis of what to anticipate—from the opposing counsel and the judge, to the intricacies of the court system. Matt is refreshingly candid, always willing to give his clients the unvarnished truth. He prepares you for every scenario—the promising, the challenging, and everything in between—ensuring that you are poised and ready, whether you are heading into a deposition, mediation, or courtroom. What truly sets Matt apart, however, is his character. It is exceptional, perhaps even surpassing his substantial legal expertise. He treats everyone—with whom he interacts, from his clients to the opposition—with the utmost respect and dignity. This level of decency isn’t just professional; it's profoundly human, and speaks volumes to the type of person Matt is. In a world where such qualities are increasingly rare, Matt reminds us of the significant impact a single dedicated and compassionate individual can have. In summary, Matt is not just a lawyer; he is a standard-bearer for what legal representation should be. I can’t sing his praises enough—he truly is the gold standard in every sense.

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!
