Matlin Injury Law does one thing: Colorado car accident cases. Founded and led by Brian Matlin, the firm exists so injured people never have to face an insurance company alone.
Why we started this firm
A serious crash can turn your life upside down in seconds. Injuries. Lost paychecks. A vehicle you can't use. Soon the calls begin — an adjuster with a friendly tone who wants a recorded statement before a specialist has even examined you. That exact moment is why Matlin Injury Law exists.
Car accidents are the firm's focus, because focus matters. Rear-end crashes. Intersection collisions. Drivers who are drunk, distracted or uninsured. Hit-and-runs and rideshare accidents. These cases tend to follow patterns, and Matlin has built its process around them — the evidence that wins, the injuries they cause and the strategies insurers often rely on to reduce them.
Clients take notice. Matlin Injury Law holds a 5.0 rating from 471 Google reviews, with the same themes showing up repeatedly: clear communication, fast responses and a team that treats every case like it matters. The firm serves 14 Front Range cities, from Denver and Aurora down to Colorado Springs — see the full list on the locations page.
Reaching out is made easy on purpose. Consultations cost nothing and happen wherever you are — phone, text or online. No office trip is needed while you're in pain. You tell the firm about the crash, Matlin asks the right questions, and you walk away understanding what your next step may look like.
Meet Brian Matlin
Brian Matlin is the firm's owner and founding attorney. Colorado-raised, he built his practice around the roads he grew up driving — the same highways, intersections and commuter corridors where his clients get hurt. That local grounding shapes how the firm reads a crash: what the traffic patterns look like, how insurers tend to behave here and what a claim may really be worth.
Brian founded Matlin Injury Law out of a simple frustration: injured people were being processed like file numbers. His answer was a firm where the owner knows your name, your injuries and your file — and where the fee promise is written so the firm never makes more than you. That standard drives everything, from the cases Matlin accepts to the advice you get about settling or pushing forward.
The firm's results include a $1.5M motor vehicle accident victory and a $1.0M motor vehicle accident victory. Past results never guarantee a future outcome — every case turns on its own facts — but they show what a focused crash firm can do. See more on the case results page.
How a Matlin case comes together
No two crashes are the same. The approach never changes.
That early effort builds on itself. A claim documented from the first week — treatment linked to the crash, fault evidence preserved, coverage mapped out — is a claim an insurer has a hard time minimizing. Waiting has the opposite effect. Evidence disappears quickly, and gaps in treatment can be used against you.
The whole way through, you stay informed. Your questions get real answers — by phone, text or online, whatever is easiest while you heal.
The promise
Matlin never makes more than you. It isn't a slogan — it's the founding promise, and it means exactly what it says. Combine it with the fee structure, no fee unless we win, and the incentives finally line up: the firm only does well when you do.
Here's why it matters. In a contingency-fee case, the lawyer's share can sometimes leave the client with less than the firm that represented them. Brian decided his firm wouldn't operate that way. If Matlin takes your case, the promise comes with it.
