Experience Highlights
Matthew’s successes include a case in which he and fellow Goldberg Segalla partner Stewart G. Milch successfully defended a church against a personal-injury lawsuit filed by a volunteer who fell from a ladder and fractured her heel while decorating the Epitaphios for Easter. At stake was $750,000, the amount of the plaintiff’s demand. Matthew and Stu won the case by persuading an appeals court to reverse a lower court’s decision not to grant their request for summary judgment dismissing the case.
