About

Matthew J. Slezak began his education at Washington and Lee University, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. He then attended Rutgers University School of Law – Camden to earn his Juris Doctor degree, where he was an active participant in their intramural and then competitive mock trial team. Matt is particularly proud of his time interning for a Federal Magistrate Judge for the District of New Jersey as well as his time interning for the Camden County Prosecutor’s office.

Matt is licensed to practice law in California, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. He began by offering his litigation expertise to criminal defendants in and around Orange County before moving to civil litigation in 2014. He distinguished himself as a trial attorney appearing throughout Southern California, then moved to a corporate role overseeing a nation-wide network of firms. There, he served as an attorney-liaison handling nationwide contested litigation matters for several top-5 banking clients and supervised legal operations for the network of over 20 firms.

Deciding to return to active practice, Matt now brings his years of experience to bear for each client. He is an attentive litigator and passionate about working with his clients to understand their goals for each case.
