About Matthew
Matthew Nezhad built the foundation of his legal life in classrooms. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from California State University, Northridge in 1995 and completed his Juris Doctor at Glendale University College of Law in 2000. Those two degrees — one in business, one in law — shaped the kind of work he would pursue and the questions he asks when a problem lands on his desk.
After graduating from law school, Nezhad began practicing law in the early 2000s. Over the years he has handled a steady mix of client matters that draw on both legal analysis and business judgment. He developed a practice rhythm that balances court work, document drafting and client counseling. He favors clear explanations over jargon and aims to give clients a sense of what to expect at each stage of a case.
His business background informs how he evaluates disputes and transactions. That training makes him attentive to contracts, risk allocation and the financial implications of legal choices. He has worked on matters that require parsing technical business documents and translating them into practical next steps for clients. Colleagues describe him as methodical in building a record and careful in setting out options, rather than making broad promises.
Nezhad’s practice has taken him into different settings. He has represented individual clients and business entities, handled negotiations, prepared filings and appeared in court when necessary. He approaches each file with an eye for practical outcomes. He prefers to identify the decision points that matter most and to steer clients toward resolutions that fit their goals.
Although he carries the Esquire title, his day-to-day work centers on problem solving rather than titles or publicity. He works in private practice and spends his time on a mix of transactional and dispute-related matters. He maintains a hands-on role in case strategy and client communication, aiming to keep matters moving and clients informed. He currently practices law in private practice.
