Brian Matlin built his law firm around one simple idea: you deserve a lawyer who actually cares about you. His career has always been driven by service. He opened Matlin Injury Law so you get real attention, honest communication, and outcomes that put your needs first. The personal-injury space is crowded with firms chasing money and recognition. Brian cares about people. He fights because insurance companies cut corners, and he refuses to let them take advantage of anyone in his community.
Brian studied psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder before earning his law degree from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in 2019. He started hi s career running the Colorado office of a nationwide injury firm. After a year, he knew he wanted something different—something more personal—so he launched Matlin Injury Law in August 2020.
Brian builds his practice around a “work to live” mindset. Family leads everything he does. He’s married to Darden, and they have two sons and a dog. They love being home together—movies, slow nights, simple time as a family—but they also enjoy trips, hikes, and trying new spots around Colorado.
