Matthew Adam Pek

I was referred to Matt Pek through a close friend in the fashion industry with me, who was very highly recommended as a young, smart, and fearless TM litigator in the fashion world of NYC who had experience in trademark and copyright infringement cases.. I contacted Matt after hearing this word-of...-mouth endorsement and he did not disappoint, but in fact proved to be a personal hero in a rather stressful (traumatic really) legal matter where a big designer fashion design co. sued me and my brand/label for trade mark infringement and false advertising and unfair competition in federal court in downtown Manhattan. Actually me my business partner and my company were all charged with infringement of the plaintiff (designer label)'s trademarks, "trade dress" and other charges of misapproriation of a well known plaintiff designer's intellectual property, and were all defendants in the federal case. Matt took me our case and was our trademark defense lawyer, which was in Federal court in NYC .... and got all 3 of us dismissed as defendants in 3-4 months, when he actually estimated 6 months for a decision on our motion to dismiss that he filed to defeat the plaintiff's bogus trademark allegations. Other than being busy - which I knew him to be based on my referring colleague, and which was obvious at our first consultation in person (which btw he did for free :) -- which made him somewhat hard to reach at times, but then again which I've learned is pretty typical for most NYC lawyers - it really all paid off AMAZINGLY for us in the end, and allowed us and our models/employees to showcase our designs and collections in time for the next season's Fashion Week in NY. Mr. Pek is young, energetic, loyal as can be, and VERY clearly knows his stuff (easy to see right away). And aside from being hard to reach from time to time, he really played a huge part in protecting (and even promoting - as Matt was clearly experienced in high-end retail, design, branding and son on) our fall fashion lines, which were going to be enjoined and prohibited by a federal judge or seized if we we didn't have a lawyer like Matt to defend our company - he's very bright, very sharp and FEARLESS trademark attorney who did us proud, even winning us a declaration judgment proving our brand was innocent and independent of the much larger plaintiff designers' intellectual property and trademarks. Super smart guy, surprisingly down to earth, young, vibrant fair and approachable. Highly recommend!

I was referred to Matthew by colleague who had hired him on 2 or 3 occasions , and was obviously quite pleased with his work. When I found myself in a predicament with an employer, I was advised to call him for a consult. I was very pleased that Matt was very bright, had a very thorough understandi...ng of corporate and commercial law, and, since he was a solo, had experience in many other areas, was not averse to research, had a significant amount of trial experience, as opposed to many attorneys in his age group who are spending days at the law library for the partners doing research and haven't written a motion since law school let alone seen the inside of a courthouse to do anything other than drop off and file lawsuits and complaints. Since hiring Matt he has worked tirelessly on my behalf, and with much success on the long journey we are on, to win the many small battles the make up the Larger war we are waging. He helps keep my spiritvs up when I am feeling deflated, and is a truly empathetic, kind, and a dedicated person- both to his clients and to the notion of justice. Matthew is not only my attorney for my current litigation, but is also my counsel in business related matters for my own consulting company. I trust him implicitly. Any review speaking negative makes me suspect of what the person was realistically expecting Mr Pek to do, as he has not a deceitful bone in his body. I suspect that review by the poor English is by someone who misunderstood expectations, and it should be removed as it us spiteful and no t helpful, which is against the guidelines.

Matthew Pek is an amazing advocate and an excellent lawyer to have on your side. I have used Matthew for 3 cases over the past 4 years and he has recovered in excess of 20k for me over a variety of complex cases. Not only is Matthew a wealth of knowledge in all areas of commercial law, but he is a ...truly talented litigator. When walking into court with Mr. Pek, you inherit the confidence that he exudes - this confidence is noteworthy as everyone in the courtroom can feel it and it has influenced a positive decision in several of my cases that Mr. Pek has handled. An overview of the cases that Matthew Pek has won for me: - Successfully recovered money owed from a client from a large software development project without having to go to court - Successfully recovered full amount of money owed from a client through litigation in small claims court - Successfully negotiated a large settlement with a client through a carefully structured payment plan that not only met my expectations, but was realistic for the client who needed to pay through a payment plan I cannot give higher recommendations for an attorney. Over the years, I have referred Mr. Pek to several of my colleagues and clients and he is now retained by 2 of my clients to handle their legal needs.

Mr. Pek was referred to me at a time when I was in true need of a litigator who was capable of understanding things quickly, of being up to the challenge of fighting an uphill battle and who would fight for me tooth and nail in the name of Justice. Matt Pek seized that challenge and ran with it, he ...was actually motivated by the facts of my case and the way that my former attorney had mishandled it, he must have spent at least 40 hours on my case in two weeks while balancing a full schedule at the same time. He allowed me to participate in my own defense instead of telling me that he'd handle it and to leave it to him (which is precisely what my former attorney had done.) I've never met a smarter, more inspiring, braver person than Matthew Pek who has restored my faith in the law and who is one of the best litigators in NY already. When Mr. Pek is your opponent, it's best to settle. When Mr. Pek is your attorney, you can sleep well at night knowing that there's a guy with a brain like IBM's Big Blue fighting for you.

Having been litigating my legal issue for almost 9 months as Pro Se, it has been EXTREMELY STRESSFUL, as I lack the expertise, the legal terminology and understanding of how the courts function. Mr. Pek, was able to explain the terminology, walk me through my case and explain the steps needed as well... as the different strategies I could take in order to let the court know what I wanted to convey. Mr. Pek, didn't shut me out, close the door, and make assumptions or jump to conclusions. Mr. Pek, was very attentive, I felt he was trust worthy and in no way did I feel that I was under pressure. Mr. Pek's counsel was VERY on point, EXACT, and AGGRESSIVE in finding the right solution. His "thinking outside the box" strategy came in very handy in my case. Without his skills, knowledge, and patience, I would not have had a HAPPY ENDING, as in family court things become very personal. I would definitely retain his counsel again if i needed one in the near future. Thanks!
