ATTORNEY PROFILES
Matthew Laydon
Matthew was born and raised in the Upper
Peninsula in Iron Mountain, Michigan. He was a
three-sport athlete at Iron Mountain High
School, where he was a Michigan state
champion tennis player and an all-state
wrestler. He earned his undergraduate degree at
Michigan State University, where he obtained a
B.A. in Finance and graduated with highest
honors. He then attended Indiana University
School of Law in Bloomington, Indiana. Matthew
graduated from law school in 2006 with cum
laude distinction and is licensed to practice law
in Arizona, California, Indiana and Michigan.
Matthew began his
legal career in
Indianapolis, Indiana,
at Price Waicukauski
Joven & Catlin, LLC, a
nationally recognized
firm that represents
clients in complex
plaintiff-side litigation
matters. While there, he
was instrumental in handling cases that
included Medicare anti-kickback law, intra-
corporate disputes and toxic tort litigation.
Matthew continued with his education and
earned his M.B.A. with highest honors from
Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.
There, he was awarded a Dean’s Fellowship and
full academic scholarship.
After receiving his M.B.A., Matthew joined the
law practice of Gambs, Mucker & Bauman in
Lafayette, Indiana, where he was in charge of
the litigation department. In that position,
Matthew represented plaintiffs in the areas of
personal injury, commercial litigation and
probate disputes. During that time, Matthew
successfully tried numerous cases, first chair, to
the bench and a jury.
In 2014, Matthew moved to southern California.
He passed the California bar exam and began
working as of counsel for Scottsdale Injury
Lawyers in Arizona and Piccuta Law Group in
Monterey, California. His practice consisted of
handling serious personal injury matters,
consumer class actions, and civil rights cases
involving law enforcement misconduct and
prisoner mistreatment.
Taking his knowledge and experience with him,
Matthew returned to the Upper Peninsula to
start his own practice, specializing in personal
injury and wrongful death cases. He passed on
other opportunities, because he believed that he
could bring a more personal and committed
touch to a place he has always considered
home.
Outside of his law practice, Matthew enjoys
playing tennis and golf, spending time with
friends and family, including his dog, Irish, and
following his favorite sports teams, including the
Green Bay Packers and the Fighting Irish of
Notre Dame.
