Matthew B. Thompson

At Arfaa Law Group in Baltimore, Maryland, attorney Matthew B. Thompson has built a career defined by an unwavering commitment to holding powerful institutions accountable. His practice centers on representing individuals and families devastated by catastrophic, life-altering injuries, with a particular focus on personal injury, medical malpractice, dental malpractice, delayed or incorrect diagnosis and informed consent cases. 

For those he represents, he is not merely legal counsel – Mr. Thompson is an advocate willing to confront entrenched systems on behalf of people who have been failed by them. A native of Baltimore and a graduate of Loyola Blakefield, his roots in the city run deep and so does his dedication to its residents. That commitment to community extended beyond the courtroom from 2019 through 2021, when he served on the board of directors for a nonprofit dedicated to empowering underserved students to reach their full potential.

Mr. Thompson's academic foundation includes a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Virginia (2011) and a Juris Doctor magna cum laude from the University of Baltimore School of Law (2014). He is licensed to practice throughout Maryland's state and federal courts and has been granted pro hac vice admission in jurisdictions across the country, reflecting the national reach of his litigation practice.

That reach has not gone unnoticed. The National Trial Lawyers named Mr. Thompson to its Top 40 Under 40 Trial Attorneys list in both 2019 and 2020 and recognized him among Maryland's Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Trial Lawyers in 2025. Over the course of his career, he has secured multiple seven-figure verdicts and helped recover tens of millions of dollars on behalf of clients, with successful advocacy extending to the appellate level as well.
