Matthew has a wealth of experience in the class action, mass torts, product liability, and catastrophic injury arenas, as well as in civil appellate practice.. Matthew spent the first 15 years of his career in Boston and Los Angeles as a marketing and management executive in the video production, multi-media and e-commerce industries. A desire for new challenges brought him to law school where he graduated summa cum laude from the Shepard Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2009. He was also editor in chief of the Nova Law Review and received the Student Bar Association's Award for Academic Excellence, an honor chosen by his peers.. While still in law school Matthew clerked at a boutique "plaintiff's firm" and was a key part of helping to shape and draft the litigation that became In re: Checking Account Overdraft Litigation, which has resulted in over $1 billion in settlements from dozens of U.S. banks that charged customers unjustified overdraft fees. He was also a key part of shaping and drafting the litigation that became In re: Chinese Manufactured Drywall Product Liability Litigation, which also resulted in a $1 billion settlement for thousands of homeowners who unwittingly had defective drywall installed in their homes in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the mid-2000's building boom.. After graduation, he continued along the mass torts/class action path with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill litigation. Then in September 2014, he was appointed co-class counsel in the Red Bull false advertising class action in the Southern District of New York. Leading the oral argument, the settlement hearing resulted in $13 million to the class and a separate attorney’s fee award of $3.4 million.. Working of counsel to the Van Horn Law Group, Matthew has also handled dozens of consumer law cases in state court, and adversary proceedings in the bankruptcy court.. Apart from his litigation and appellate focus, Matthew has remained interested in the entrepreneurial spirt. He has helped existing businesses navigate joint ventures and expansions into new territories, and new businesses navigate the start-up and seed capital process.. While maintaining a business presence and clients in Florida, 2019 has found him returning to Los Angeles as a new member of the California Bar, where he will continue to focus on his established areas of practice.
