About Matthew
Matthew Podolsky is an attorney licensed to practice in Florida and before the Federal Circuit. He holds a pair of graduate degrees from Stetson University — a Juris Doctor and an MBA, both conferred in 2012. Earlier he completed a Bachelor of Science in Finance at St. John’s University in 2003. Those academic credentials frame a practice that moves between business concerns and courtroom work.
He completed his formal legal education at Stetson, earning both his law degree and business degree the same year. The combination of legal training and business study gives him fluency in transactional and procedural matters. His undergraduate degree in finance preceded his legal studies and informs the way he evaluates risk and economic consequences.
Podolsky’s professional record includes a period as managing lawyer at Florida Law Advisers, P.A., a role he held beginning in 2015. In that capacity he took on leadership responsibilities inside the firm and worked on matters that required oversight and coordination of legal teams. After that chapter he joined Farah and Farah as a lawyer in 2023, taking on client work at a different firm environment.
He is Lead Counsel Rated by the Lead Counsel Review Board, a designation that signals peer review of his work. He is licensed in Florida and admitted to practice before the Federal Circuit, which allows him to handle matters at both state and federal levels. His work has covered client representation across those jurisdictions rather than a single procedural lane.
Colleagues and clients describe him as practical and detail-oriented. He tends to approach matters by breaking issues into discrete parts and resolving them in sequence. That method shows in case preparation and in his handling of business-related disputes where finance and legal strategy intersect.
Podolsky’s path blends courtroom experience, firm management and business education. He has moved between supervisory roles and client-facing litigation work over the past decade. He now practices at Farah and Farah, where he represents clients in state and federal matters and handles both litigation and advisory work in Florida and at the federal level.
