About Us

When things look bleak, contemplating a confrontation with a large corporation can make even the heartiest soul feel outmatched. But at Matt Huffman Law, our mission is to help our clients emerge victorious.

It’s an approach that’s grounded in the real-life experiences of Lead Counsel Matt Huffman, experiences that fuel his efforts on behalf of every client the firm takes on.

He said the following about his own devastating loss, when the 2016 Clayton Fire in Lower Lake, California destroyed not only his childhood home but much of his hometown:

“Fires can rob us not only of our belongings, but also of our sense of security, community and stability. I used to be able to go home and feel deeply connected. After the fire, that all changed. In the beginning it was very heavy. There was a mix of emotions, between grief, anger, and confusion. But helping my friends, family, and neighbors work together to overcome the destruction, that was inspirational.”

Being of service was instilled in Matt from a very young age. He is a veteran of the U.S. Army, entering active duty at the age of 17, and is the son of a volunteer firefighter. “I remember watching my dad run out of the house in the darkness when the town fire siren would sound. He would run towards the danger. He was always helping. It was like, if someone needs help, just go.”

Whether it’s a wildfire case or a military mass tort, we serve our clients on a contingency basis. That means we front all costs including our time, taking on all the financial risk. Our fees are very competitive and geared toward maximizing your recovery. Additionally, we’re able to apply the Doctrine of Inverse Condemnation to most utility-caused fires in California. This powerful law allows us to make the defendant pay most fees and costs on Economic Loss (real property, contents, lost income) netting the client significantly more.

If we can’t win or settle for you, we absorb all the time and costs of your case, and you owe us nothing.
