Matthew L. Brinton

Matthew L. Brinton founded The Brinton Firm, P.C., in Los Angeles, California, after recognizing a critical legal gap: renters injured by unsafe housing conditions rarely had legal representation, while property owners and insurance companies always did. Driven to bridge this divide, he established a firm exclusively dedicated to representing tenants. Today, he advocates for clients across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Offering bilingual services in English and Spanish, he ensures local communities have accessible, high-caliber legal protection.

As lead attorney, Mr. Brinton focuses his practice on complex landlord-tenant litigation, fighting for renters facing wrongful eviction, Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) violations, serious habitability issues, tenant harassment and illegal retaliation. Recognized for his strategic vision and results-oriented mindset, he has successfully represented hundreds of clients in high-stakes housing disputes. His proactive approach helps tenants hold negligent landlords accountable, resolve severe property conflicts and secure the substantial financial compensation or housing stability they rightfully deserve.  

Mr. Brinton leads with a steadfast commitment to integrity, efficiency and tenant-first advocacy. Understanding the intense stress and uncertainty that come with housing disputes and constructive evictions, he delivers compassionate, practical solutions tailored to each client's needs. By combining aggressive courtroom representation with transparent communication, he stands as a trusted champion for Southern California renters, ensuring their constitutional and statutory housing rights are vigorously defended at every stage. 

Licensed to practice in California since 2012, Mr. Brinton has established a proven track record of holding landlords accountable. His targeted advocacy secured an $85,000 settlement in 2017 for tenants wrongfully sued by their landlord, followed by a $72,500 recovery in 2018 for clients facing illegal eviction. These notable case results demonstrate his steadfast commitment to protecting renter rights, resolving complex housing disputes and delivering impactful financial justice for tenants across the state.
