A Legacy of Excellence
Matt Menzer’s legal career spans more than three decades, shaped by an Ivy League education at Brown University, a law degree from UC Berkeley School of Law, and two federal judicial clerkships. While still a law student at Berkeley, he played a key role in a complex, high-profile legal case, working alongside renowned attorneys and gaining firsthand experience in the intricacies of trial work. That early exposure reinforced his passion for justice and the importance of meticulous legal representation. Read more here.
When Matt founded his firm, he envisioned a practice that prioritized quality over volume—one that offered meticulous case preparation, a hands-on approach, and a level of personal attention that large firms often struggle to provide. Over the years, he has assembled a highly skilled team that shares this vision.

Mr. Menzer and his professional staff handled my personal injury matter in a efficient manner. Took care of all aspects of the case with no loose ends that I had to deal with. No need for me to deal with anything or any insurance person, which really lessened my stress. Resolved a complicated matter, received the absolute best result possible in a reasonable amount of time. Personal attention to detail and to my situation. Highly recommend.

Matt represented my sister and I in a successful wrongful death case which involved our mother. He was very easy to get along with and very thorough in his preparation. We would turn to him in a heartbeat if we needed this kind of lawyer again.

Matt has helped my husband and I for 3 years after a horrible motorcycle accident. He actually cares how you’re feeling and is very patient! Him and his team are always there to answer questions and are very prompt at getting back to you via text, email or call. I highly recommend Matt Menzer!
Jessica Sellers
We recently worked with Matt and his team and found them to be very personable, professional, and passionate about law. I really like how they are able to simplify complex aspects of the law and explain them in lamens terms for us where law is not in our everyday use. I also like how they provide practical guidance and provide realistic outcomes on the situation at hand. I would consider working with Matt and his team again in the future.
Patty Ackley
We thank God we met Matt Menzer and staff. Our medical case was so emotionally draining and through out our personal strain of surgeries, ERs, radiation and chemo Matt was so respectful and compassionate but at the same time pushed our case forward. Our case was settled and met and went beyond our expectations. Matt has become family. We still keep in touch years later.
Rodolfo Buzeta
Very good disposition and vocation to help. I totally recommend them. I will summarize a bit: We know that Menzer Law is a law firm linked to Personal Injury Law. But, when we told Matthew about our problem of large unpaid customers (companies). Without hesitation he agreed to help us with all the paperwork to recover the money from our unpaid customers.
That reflects the commitment to be willing to help and serve those seeking legal advice. That adds great value to their service.
Didi Mae
Matt Menzer called me for a short consultation with regards to my product liability case. He was so professional and very friendly and kind. Unfortunately he was unable to take my case because it was a special case of very rare situation. However he gave me resources and was very knowledgeable and helped me with my stress levels. I highly recommend this law firm for your particular needs! In addition his administrative staff were very helpful and were very responsive! I know when a good business is a good business that is why I am giving a review for the law firm. Great customer service knowledgeable and kind and friendly. Thank you to all of you at Menzer Law Firm!!

Matthew Menzer and team provided the best care I could have hoped for during the process of negotiating a settlement from a slip and fall injury. The process was long (not on their part) and throughout it all, their commitment to handling my case with ease and professionalism was unwavering. They took care of everything, including negotiating with multiple insurance companies, with only one trip to their offices. The settlement reached was successful and more than I had hoped for. I wholeheartedly recommend the services of Menzer Law Firm.
Bonnie Bizzell
I asked Menzer Law to represent me in a dog attack insurance claim. I don't think it's the type of work they normally take on; still, they treated me as if it was the most important case they had. They were empathetic, responsive, and diligent. Honestly, I was glad not to have to deal with the insurance company and wasn't as interested in what the final settlement would be. Nevertheless, Menzer Law strongly advocated for me and they were so good that the insurance settled for our first request! These are amazing people with good hearts. I highly recommend them!
Tina
Matt and his team are outstanding! When dealing with our case you could truly tell he cared and showed true compassion. Matt did everything he could to help us and go above and beyond. He had faith in our case and was extremely knowledgeable on what he was doing. I will recommend him to everyone I know whoever needs a top notch lawyer.

I'm beyond grateful for the incredible support I received from Matt and team. With their expertise and genuine care, they navigated me through the process of our case with ease. Matt provided us with timely updates the entire time and always made sure we understood and were prepared for the next step. He has a friendly demeanor and showed us compassion during a difficult time. It was a pleasure to have him represent us!
Cameron Hess
The team here is wonderful. Thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate and friendly. The only thing I will miss about our case is talking with Matt and Phil, they are both really great people and a team you want on your side to get the justice you deserve.
Paul Hart
Matt Menzer and his staff exemplified the highest level of professionalism when handling a auto accident case for my family. And the outcome of the case was very satisfactory, due to Matt's skill at negotiating in a measured, no-drama, backed-up-by-facts approach, and his ability to prevail over the distraction-tactics of the opposing side with Matt's calling in of experts, and thorough research. I will highly recommend him to others in need of professional representation in his specialty areas of law.
David Mark
I knew Matt Menzer as a fellow attorney for decades before he represented me in litigation a couple of years ago. He was great. He worked the case up, learned the detailed medical issues pertinent to the litigation and engaged well-qualified experts whose testimony supported the claim. We worked together and brought the case to conclusion that I wanted. He is smart, ethical and hardworking. Get him on your side.
Esther Warkov
Matt Menzer provided effective and compassionate support in an arbitration involving a student's intellectual disability. Over the years, he's helped answer questions even though the issue was not actionable. I highly recommend Matt.
Nest Schultzmiller
I contacted Menzer Law after I was hit by a hit a run driver on my motorcycle. They not only gave great advice but were a pleasure to work with and ran thru the roads with insurance companies and got me a proper settlement in good time and truly the best that could be gotten. Would recommend them highly to anyone. great response times and always there to answer any questions.
