Matthew Thompson —
Attorney, Trust Law Partners

Matthew Thompson is a seasoned litigator with more than a decade of experience representing clients in high-stakes disputes, with a primary focus on trust and probate litigation. Known for his strategic acumen and approachable style, he combines rigorous legal analysis with a genuine commitment to client advocacy.

A Colorado native, Mr. Thompson earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado Denver, graduating with Dean’s List honors. He went on to obtain his Juris Doctor from Western State College of Law in Fullerton, California, and was admitted to the California State Bar in 2012. He is also admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of California.

Following his admission to the bar, Mr. Thompson founded and managed his own successful practice, handling complex matters in family law, contract disputes, and personal injury litigation. This broad-based litigation background has proven invaluable in his work at Trust Law Partners, where he represents beneficiaries and heirs in disputes involving wills, trusts, and estates.

Colleagues and clients alike commend Mr. Thompson for his ability to diffuse tense situations and negotiate favorable resolutions without unnecessary conflict. At the same time, he is recognized as a formidable advocate in the courtroom when litigation becomes necessary.

For Mr. Thompson, trust and probate litigation is both a legal and moral calling:

“Wills and trusts litigation is an incredibly rewarding area of law. We often seek justice for the elderly and infirm who have been taken advantage of in moments of vulnerability, and we ensure their true wishes for their loved ones are honored.”

Mr. Thompson is available to represent clients across Trust Law Partners’ offices in Pasadena, San Mateo/Silicon Valley, San Diego, Newport Beach, and Santa Barbara.
