Our Story

The Brinton Firm was founded in 2016 by Matthew Brinton after recognizing a critical gap: tenants and renters injured by unsafe housing conditions had almost no legal representation. Property owners had lawyers. Insurance companies had lawyers. Tenants didn’t.

Today, the firm has recovered over $45 million for clients across Southern California — people hurt in fires, sickened by mold and carbon monoxide, injured by building failures, and displaced by uninhabitable conditions. Every case the firm takes is on a contingency basis: no fees unless we win.

The firm is headquartered in Los Angeles and serves clients throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego.

Mission

Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves to live in a safe home. When property owners fail to maintain safe conditions, we hold them accountable. 

Led by founding attorney Matt Brinton, our team includes experienced trial lawyers, investigators, and support staff committed to fighting for justice on behalf of injured tenants.
