Matthew James Eisenberg's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have consulted with Matt on a number of cases and have found him to be very knowledgeable."
"Matt Eisenberg is at once a sharp business legal intellect and a pillar of the Napa Valley community. I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Matt now for several years in connection with significant corporate matters, as well as arts & entertainment matters involving intellectual property issues. Matt has deep experience and understanding in matters of business law, ABC compliance, land use, arts and philanthropy, to name a few. I actively work with Matt on numerous client projects to this very day. Notably, as it relates to his clients, Matt is one of the most steadfast and loyal attorneys I have ever met - an extremely valuable resource. Perhaps most importantly, Matt contributes significantly to the Napa Valley community through pro bono work and charitable giving. He's a stand-up fellow, and I am thankful to be able to call him a friend."
