At the helm of a team of accomplished attorneys, Mr. Matern is intricately involved in every phase of civil litigation, guiding cases from inception through law and motion, discovery, settlement negotiations, and final resolution. His relentless pursuit of justice has resulted in millions of dollars in settlements and compensation packages, improved working conditions for countless employees, and significant legal precedents, including a landmark California ruling on “MeToo” witness testimonies. In addition to his legal practice, Mr. Matern actively engages with the community, advocating for organizations that protect employee and consumer rights. He founded The Satyagraha Foundation in 2017, a nonprofit organization aimed at enhancing philanthropic collaboration.
