Personal Note

Matthew has been drawn to the practice of law for his entire life and believes that being an attorney requires passion, dedication, and a commitment to zealously advocating for the interests of his clients. He is grateful for the opportunity to channel that passion into his work as a defense attorney in California’s workers’ compensation system. For Matthew, there is nothing more rewarding than achieving the outcome his clients seek and providing them with uncompromising representation throughout the litigation process.
Outside of the office, Matthew enjoys golfing, fishing, and cheering on his favorite baseball team, the San Francisco Giants.
