Matt Wertheim is a trusted partner in resolving conflict, helping hundreds of individuals, businesses, and counsel find clarity and closure in even the most challenging disputes. He brings more than four decades of experience working with people at every stage of conflict—before a lawsuit is filed, in the thick of litigation, and when trial is just days away. What sets Matt apart is his ability to understand not only the legal and financial risks of trial or arbitration, but also the human stress, uncertainty, and emotional weight that come with them. That insight allows him to help parties move past both the obvious issues and the quieter, often unspoken barriers that keep resolution out of reach.

Matt’s mediation style is grounded in warmth, patience, and practical problem‑solving. He creates an accepting judgment‑free environment where parties feel safe expressing their concerns, whether in private caucus or in joint conversation. His approach is never one‑size‑fits‑all; each mediation is shaped around the personalities, goals, and dynamics of the people in the room. He is skilled at helping parties see the bigger picture, evaluate risk realistically, and explore solutions that feel fair, durable, and workable.

While Matt prefers the connection and nuance of in‑person mediation, he is equally comfortable conducting sessions virtually or traveling when needed. His focus is always the same: helping people move forward with confidence, dignity, and a resolution they can live with.

As an attorney Matt has always had an AV Preeminent Rating, Martindale‑Hubbell — highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards.
