As a personal injury attorney, Matthew Nezhad has dedicated his entire legal career to protecting the rights of injured victims and helping them get the maximum compensation possible for their injuries. That is why, in 2002, he founded the Nezhad Law Firm. He is committed to fighting for the rights of injured victims and holding the wrongdoer(s) accountable for their negligent actions. He does this by aggressively pursuing his Clients’ best interests and to obtain the best possible result for each case. Matthew established his law firm with these objectives in mind and has built a legal team and staff who have the experience, dedication, and resources to get the job done right.

Matthew Nezhad is a life member of the Million Dollar and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum – The Top Trial Lawyers in America, for having successfully obtained million and multi-million dollar results for his clients. This prestigious recognition is bestowed on only the top 1% of lawyers in the nation. He has also been selected as a “Super Lawyer” by his peers. A very select group of attorneys have this honor. A “Super Lawyer” is identified for   having attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement and are selected for inclusion to this esteemed group. In 2014, his firm was also nominated for the prestigious Litigator Awards and were ultimately recipients of the 2014 Litigator Awards for Catastrophic Injuries and Personal Injury. The Litigator Awards represent the highest honors in Trial Law, and justly stands as the nation’s most coveted symbol of “Litigation Achievement”. The Awards are based on actual “Verdict & Settlement” dollar achievement. Mr. Nezhad’s firm is now part of an exclusive fraternity of Super-Star Lawyers who have won Million, Multi-Million cases- a feat achieved by fewer than 1% of all lawyers. Of the nearly 1.1 million lawyers considered, only a select few (about 12 Law Firms) per State, achieve distinction of being awarded each year.  

Matthew continues to aggressively pursue his clients’ best interests not only against insurance companies but also against large corporations and major pharmaceutical companies for their defective and dangerous products. He has also represented hundreds of clients against the makers of the diet drug, Fen-Phen, and continues to represent those who have been victims of life altering prescription drugs.

Matthew loves being a Personal Injury Lawyer for its challenges and because he is a natural problem solver. He is also a firm believer that in all injury cases the devil is in the detail. The ability to focus on the smallest detail, while never losing sight of the big picture, is crucial. Matthew Nezhad and firm have successfully managed to balance their detailed knowledge of personal injury law and the injuries their clients sustain with the strategic planning that helps them realize and achieve their clients' goals. A distinguishing characteristic of the Nezhad Law is that the firm accepts a limited number of cases annually. “Due to its success, the firm has been fortunate to receive referrals of cases over the years from past clients, other attorneys and law firms and has also been mentioned in the media for noteworthy and publicized cases.

Greatest of the greats
Oaks law firm gave me one of the greatest experiences ever. No one is happy having a car accident it’s not an easy process dealing with insurances and doing a bunch of he said she said. Matt the attorney and his staff were beyond amazing it was slow at times but progress was being done. Cases take time and Matt and his staff made sure all my questions were answered and if I needed help with anything. I can’t stress enough how thankful I am for choosing them as my lawyers. After a lengthy wait everything was well worth it. I wish I can say more but I just can’t they were great very great!

Thank you for taking care of me!
From the moment I contacted Mr. Nezhad's office, they were with me every step of the way. First they helped me get examined with the right people. My car was totaled in my accident and Mr. Nezhad quickly and painlessly helped me take care of replacing my car. He helped me obtain a rental and dealt with all the details. The paperwork and time I needed to spend was minimal. The area I work is different from where I live. Mr. Nezhad's office was able to find and schedule Dr and chiropractic appointments for me in both cities in convenient locations. I was very impressed they were able to find appointments for me since I work in a very very small town! Throughout the process, I was always kept in the loop with excellent communication and I could always reach someone easily when needed. Mr. Nezhad told me he would fight to get me the best settlement possible and that is exactly what he did. Hopefully no one will be in the position I was in, but it's good to know Mr. Nezhad's office is there if needed. I am very grateful for the service they provided me.

FIVE STARS!!!! VERY HAPPY!
BEST FIRM IN THE VALLEY FOR INJURY CASES!!! I don’t typically leave reviews, but I have to post this for others out there who may be looking for the right Attorney. They handled my personal injury case for me after totaling my car. They helped with the process A to Z. They communicated with my insurance company and got the claim to be 100% not at fault (the other company was trying to say it was). They even found out that I had a medical insurance policy that I didn’t even know I still had! They did their absolute best, and I would not only recommend The Oaks Law Firm, but I will be using them again myself if I ever need to. Call them! They will definitely help you out! :)

Best Lawyers
Best representatives for big injuries or small injuries .He did the best to get me the highest money possible and only a small amount for the company Which I could say is not fair for them considering the much work they do .I feel so confident having them as my representatives . Accident happens and am ready and they are ready for me too . I highly recommended Mr.Matthew .

Nezhad Law Firm was able to handle my Case when others turned me down.
I was involved in a bad car accident on 10/16/13. With the help of the attorney and his office, my case was handled professionally and they kept me up to date on everything that was going on. I was very satisfied with the services of Nezhad Law Firm and will definitely use Matthew if needed in the future. A+ employees and Staff.

MATT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Matthew, I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for us. After my accident, we literally called at least three or four attorneys we found online and in the yellow pages but neither one of them called us back. I remember Jim and I talking about how you personally picked up the phone and talked to us at 10pm regarding everything that had happened. I truly appreciated the fact that you were able to immediately calm me down and explained what you will do to make sure we didn’t have to deal with the stress and frustration in dealing with the insurance company. Thank you of being so caring and considerate. I also appreciated the fact that you protected me and argued with the judge and the other two attorneys when they were making comments about the accident being partially my fault in the court hearing we had. As you know, I lost a lot of time from work and my injuries prevented me from getting the promotion that I had worked for over 2 years. The accident really did change things for me. I was always skeptical of what we would be able to recover from the other side because of their tactics and initial denial of my case. Thank you for spending the time you spent on my case and believing in me and spending money to prove that they were at fault and that they would have to pay for all of my losses. Also, a special thank you to your staff, as well. You guys always took our calls and would respond to us and truly gave us peace of mind throughout the case. I hope i am never involved in another horrific accident but believe me if we ever need an attorney we know who to call.

Posted by Arden | September 8, 2014
I cannot tell you how glad i am for finding you...May god bless you!
Matthew Nezhad handled a motorcycle accident case for me. I had major complications during surgery, lost my job because of the accident and almost lost my sanity because of all the bills and everything that we had to deal with. Family and friends told me to handle it myself, which was a huge mistake. Had i listened to them and tried to handle it myself I would have only been able to collect the $15,000 the other person's insurance company offered me. They were pressuring me to take their insureds entire policy limits of $15000 because there was no other money to collect . So they said... I felt uncomfortable with the phone calls and the pressure to settle so i called around and spoke to a few attorneys. When the attorneys i spoke with heard that the insurance company only had a 15,000 maximum policy and i had a ton of medical bills and collection companies calling me, they all said you should handle it yourself and take the money. Luckily, one of the attorneys i called was Matthew. He spoke with me for over half an hour and told me to think things through and to call him even if i didn't want to hire him. When i met with him, I explained the details of the case, he had several questions that no one else bothered to ask or knew to ask. He took my case and found out that the person who hit me was on the clock. He was working at the time and his employer had to pay me for everything, as a result of this horrifying experience. Matthew, I don't know where to begin. Eileen and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts, on a regular basis. I really don't know where we would be with all that we had to deal with. May god bless you and give you strength to continue to help those of us who do not know how to handle such curve balls life throws at you.

Thanks for helping me get my life back in order after a terrible accident (passenger)
I normally don’t dedicate time to writing reviews, but this firm has totally earned my time and more! I was involved in an unfortunate accident about a year ago, when I was a passenger in a friend’s car. I sustained catastrophic injuries and didn’t think I would ever go back to my life pre accident. When I contacted Mr. Nezhad’s office, I was expecting the typical “we’ll call you back” line, to my surprise my call was greeted professionally by the office and immediately transferred to Matthew himself! I noticed his authentic approach to my situation and instantly felt like I was in good hands. Since that day, this office has proven their professionalism and hasn’t given me an inch of doubt. Despite my ongoing medical condition, extensive treatment and surgeries I somehow see the light at the tunnel thanks to Matt. Mr. Nezhad and his entire staff have been so helpful; they even arrange transportation for my doctor’s appointments. Although I’ve thanked them over the phone on several occasions, I feel that I should share my experience with everyone else and extend my greatest gratitude to Matthew and his team for not letting me down and helping me go through this though time.

Thank you Matthew Nezhad for helping me.
I want to say Thank you for fighting for me to have my personal injury case resolved. I appreciate the stress and success that you and your staff shared with me in resolving my case. Matt not only waived fees but continued to fight for the reductions and resolved my hospital bills. I was previously turned down by another attorney before my friend recommended your firm. In hindsight, I'm glad they turned me away and that I ended up with your firm. I will definitely call for your services when needed.

Thank you Matthew and the Nezhad Law Firm
The Nezhad Law Firm is truly special. They genuinely really care for their clients. They constantly kept me up to date on the status of my accident case and explained everything to me as it was happening, without me having to call and follow up once. They also communicated with me through email (as well as over the phone), which made it very convenient for me to during working hours. I have dealt with other lawyers in the past but I have never come across a law office so organized and so attentive like Matthew and his team. I will recommend them to everyone I know.
