In addition to his litigation work, Mr. O'Day has provided extensive support to wildfire survivors, assisting them with FEMA claims, temporary housing, and navigating the complexities of government benefits. His commitment to disaster relief extends beyond the courtroom, as he has volunteered with the Disaster Legal Assistance Collaborative, where he helped flood victims prepare appeals and provided pro bono legal services.

Mr. O'Day earned his Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco School of Law, where he contributed to the USF Maritime Law Journal. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of California, Davis. Matthew is deeply involved in his community and is passionate about improving disaster response efforts.
