About Matthew

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.

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!

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.

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 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 .

I am so happy to have hired attorney Nezhad to represent myself and my kids. Matthew was awesome! He was very quick to respond to any questions I had, took the time to personally meet with me and discussed my case progress, on multiple occasions. Matt and his staff are super supportive, knowledgeable and most importantly prompt. I am thrilled about his work ethic and the settlement of my case! I would absolutely recommend Matthew Nezhad to all my friends and family and will certainly contact him for all my future legal need. Thank you so much!!

This law firm has exceeded my expectations. From the very first point of contact with them, my family and I have been greeted by courteous and knowledgeable staff. Our questions have always been answered and the attorney himself has discussed our case with us on multiple occasions. They truly do make things very easy and lift the additional stress off of your shoulders. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal assistance. Thank you Oaks Law Firm for the quality work!
