Government shutdown affecting one of the largest air shows in California this weekend.

Great news! I just found out I passed the Uniform Bar Exam! The UBE is accepted in 41 states. This will allow me to expand our reach so we can help a greater number of people. Who you choose to represent you matters. If you need us, we will be there for you.

I’m hiring! Our personal injury department is growing, and we are seeking an experienced personal injury case manager to jump in and help us out. If you know anyone with case management experience looking for work, send them my way!

Second fire in the region just started.

1/Today we celebrate our 3 year anniversary at Matt Cortez Law, PC! In that short period of time we’ve conducted 10 trials, appeared before the Court of Appeal twice, settled multiple cases and recovered millions of dollars for our clients. We’ve also brought 2 attorneys and a large number of…

Working on some required continuing education and ran across this gem 🤣

We practice employment law, personal injury, landlord-tenant-real estate issues, estate planning, and other civil litigation. And I love to fight! When people ask what kind of attorney I am, I love to say “The kind that will ruin someone’s day if they screw you over!”

I’ve been hustling the last few years, fixing people’s problems, growing the firm. I now have a large team of attorneys and support staff to handle our cases and fight. We are civil litigation trial attorneys, practicing in multiple areas, including employment law as well. Running my first booth!

Time to check in. How are you doing? What do you need?

I’m baffled that Congress is too inept to do anything about this. There are a few noble fighters trying, but it’s not enough. Act like the co-equal branch you are and do something.

I’m so very happy for you! I followed your law school decision and journey all those years ago on the bird site under your original alt handle, and I have really enjoyed watching your progress and now professional success. Congratulations!! 

BOOM! Just finished a 4 day trial in Marin County, CA. I killed it! Defendant was represented by two attorneys that had been licensed longer than I have been, but they seemed disorganized and failed to ask crucial questions to prove their defenses. My client is very happy! I love me job!

Lawyers are the ones that bring cases against the federal government and this administration. This is another attack to weaken the judiciary. This must stop. State bars and the courts regulate lawyers, not the executive branch.

Just because your boss has immunity, does not mean you do. The court can hold the pilots in contempt for knowingly violating a court order.

I’m in trial in Marin County today. Opposing counsel asked the court to issue sanctions because I withdrew an expert witness she was trying to exclude. I used the term “weaponization of sanctions” and the judge denied her request. It was frivolous. Motions for sanctions should be used sparingly.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

What is our recourse when an illegal act is decreed by the executive branch? A lawsuit, filed by attorneys, for relief by the judiciary. Trump has decreed that those suits themselves now border on illegal. This is the ballgame, folks. We must defend Lady Justice as the red line she represents.

I cannot stress enough how important this issue is. It’s a two pronged attack against the judiciary. The first prong attack is threatening to impeach federal judges who rule against the administration. The second prong is intimidating lawyers from bringing cases against the administration.

While I’d like to focus on what we can DO, there are times you must be warned and act. The main wins against the destruction of our govt have been in our courts. Instructing the AG to attack them is a five alarm fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 CONTACT YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY!

This is a very serious problem. If you want the judiciary to continue being a check on the federal government, any policy targeting plaintiffs’ lawyers must be prohibited. Otherwise cases will be dropped before a judge has a chance to issue an order.

1/ Important legal 🧵 This is problematic & weaponizes sanctions against attorneys litigating against the federal government. I’ve had attorneys try to use sanctions as an intimidation tactic under the guise that my clients’ lawsuits are frivolous. I fought back and won each time. But it’s

Time to check in. How are you doing? What do you need?

Me against the defendants’ 4 other attorneys in court today. #FAFO

1/BOOM! SETTLED CASE TODAY! After more than a year in litigation, my team and I prepared and pushed a case for trial. Originally, defendants offered $10,000. We rejected their offer. They tried to postpone the trial, but we opposed it. They were unprepared for trial today. We had everything we

Fresh from the CA State Bar. Avenatti is officially disbarred.

I’m currently suing a local government entity for breach of contract (not DOGE related). I assure you wrongful termination of contracts still end up costing, sometimes more than the contract itself.

SENIORS BORN IN 1979 WTF?!?

Today’s word of the day is FRAUD. Jurisdictions differ, but generally a person can be civilly liable when they 1) knowingly make a false material representation 2) intend to deceive 3) the victim relies on the representation, 4) the reliance was reasonable, & 5) the victim suffered damages.

Me at my job most days.

I do have an employment law attorney on my staff. We can help here in California. I also plan on taking the Uniform Bar Exam in July, which will allow me to apply for admissions to up to 40 other jurisdictions. My firm has grown so much recently and I’m ready to start expanding.

Los Angeles is strong. The city will overcome and persevere.

The wife and I are going old school tonight with no power while we ride out these Southern California winds.

We live on a hillside. Our power was shut off an hour ago to by SCE to reduce fire risk in our neighborhood. They told us it may be 8 hours or more before power is restored. A few new fires have emerged. It’s pretty bad out here.

Fair winds & following seas, Mr. President. Thank you for setting such an example for humanity.

Wise advice 👇

@tristansnell.bsky.social we received this from opposing counsel, hired by insurance, on a loss of consortium claim. It’s disgusting. We objected and I’m going to move for a protective order, but the strategy clearly is to get her to drop the lawsuit.

I am currently suing four governmental entities for causing harm to my clients. Governmental immunity makes it difficult, but I love doing it. I’m not sure what the next four years will bring, but if needed, I will be here.

👀👀 Jabs sighting!!!

This cracked me up 🤣

He’s BACK!!! It’s been too long!!! Seeing the ALTS is the silver-lining in the Trump 2.0 💩Show!

All right, it’s been a while but time to check in. How are you doing? What do you need?

Two hearings in LA this morning. One, we were hired to bring a case to trial. Client was exposed to toxic chemicals and suffered injuries. Trial is set for April. Second involves a small business owner getting screwed. I absolutely love what I do. I fix people’s problems. I right wrongs.
