Matt Greenberg is a Texas trial lawyer with a record of results in high-stakes personal injury litigation. As co-founder of Greenberg Streich Injury Lawyers, he represents individuals and families whose lives have been upended by catastrophic events—cases involving oilfield explosions, trucking crashes, plant and refinery accidents, chemical releases, and other serious injuries.
A Proven Advocate in the Courtroom
For more than a decade, Matt has built a reputation as the lawyer other lawyers call when the stakes are highest. He has been lead trial counsel in cases that have resulted in record-setting verdicts and settlements across Texas. His track record includes successfully resolving hundreds of millions of dollars in claims on behalf of his clients—results achieved through relentless preparation, strategic litigation, and a willingness to try cases to a jury when necessary.
Matt’s trial experience spans county, state, and federal courts. He is often brought in by other law firms to take over complex cases that require deep litigation experience, mastery of evidence, and comfort in the courtroom. That trust is earned—he approaches every case with the mindset that it could go to verdict, and he prepares accordingly.
Some of his results include:
- $37.5 million verdict in Dallas County for the family of a truck driver who was killed by an Oncor electric delivery truck driver.
- $35 million settlement for the family of a young woman in Fort Worth who was killed by a Ben E. Keith 18-wheeler. This was the largest Tarrant County settlement at the time.
- $20 million settlement for a burned oilfield worker who was burned when West Texas contractors in the Panhandle negligently failed to close a valve on a blowout preventer.
Background & Education
Matt is a proud graduate of Baylor Law School, where he completed the school’s renowned Practice Court program—a rigorous, trial-focused curriculum that has produced many of the state’s most accomplished litigators. His legal education built the foundation for the advocacy skills he brings to every case today: sharp courtroom examination, mastery of procedural strategy, and the ability to translate complicated facts into clear, persuasive narratives for juries.
A sixth-generation Texan, Matt comes from a family with deep roots in public service. His father served for decades as a firefighter and paramedic, his cousin retired as an Assistant Chief of Police for Homicide in Dallas, and his mother served as a foster parent for Dallas County. That background shaped his belief that standing up for people in moments of crisis is more than a job—it’s a calling.
Approach to Personal Injury Law
Matt’s practice is defined by thorough investigation, creative strategy, and uncompromising advocacy. He understands that his clients are often facing life-altering injuries, financial uncertainty, and an unfamiliar legal process. From the first consultation to the resolution of a case, he keeps clients informed, supported, and empowered.
He also brings a modern edge to litigation—leveraging cutting-edge technology, advanced data analysis, and innovative presentation tools to give juries a clear picture of what happened and why justice is warranted. While many lawyers talk about being “trial-ready,” Matt ensures his cases are built from day one as if a jury will decide them.
Recognition & Professional Involvement
Over his career, Matt has been recognized by peers and professional organizations for his trial skill and commitment to client advocacy. He is active in the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and other professional networks, frequently sharing insights on trial strategy and emerging issues in personal injury law. He also mentors younger attorneys, emphasizing the importance of preparation, ethics, and client-centered representation.
Matt has been recognized by his peers across many organizations, including SuperLawyers, Lawdragon, and National Trial Lawyers.
Beyond the Law
When he’s not in the courtroom, Matt enjoys spending time with his family. His interests include writing, reading, and staying active through regular training. He is also deeply committed to community involvement and charitable causes that support injured workers, first responders, and their families. He and his family attend a local community church.
