About Matthew R
Matthew R Kaminski built a steady legal path from law school through firm management. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in history from the University of Florida (B.A., 2006) and a Juris Doctor from Florida A&M University College of Law (J.D., 2009). Those credentials led him into private practice and steady advancement inside small and mid-sized firms.
His early work included a role at Rao & Pierce, where he handled day-to-day matters for a varied client base. He moved into leadership roles over time. In 2017 he served as Senior Managing Lawyer at Ashby Law, overseeing case workflows and mentoring associates. Two years later he took the title of Managing Lawyer at Yakima Law, PLLC, a position that added administrative responsibility to his docket duties.
Colleagues describe Kaminski as methodical and practical. He has experience running teams, allocating resources and steering cases from intake through resolution. Those managerial duties have grounded his approach to client service. He has worked in environments that required both courtroom preparation and steady office management.
Kaminski is admitted to practice in Florida and Washington. That dual admission shapes the geography of his work. He has handled matters that implicate the laws and procedures of both states, and he has moved between regional practice norms as needed.
Over the years he has balanced litigation-oriented tasks with client counseling and case management. In firm leadership posts he has been responsible for assigning matters, supervising discovery and guiding negotiation strategy. His background reflects hands-on case work coupled with the operational tasks that keep a small firm running.
Outside of day-to-day practice, Kaminski has maintained professional memberships. He keeps ties to the bar communities in the jurisdictions where he practices and participates in the networks that support local attorneys.
He remains based at Yakima Law, PLLC, where he serves as Managing Lawyer. He continues to advise clients and manage the firm’s legal work. He currently practices at Yakima Law, PLLC, handling matters in Florida and Washington.
