Lawyers cannot buy their way onto this list.  Matt has also been featured among Southern California’s “Best Lawyers” each year since 2017 in the Orange County Register and Los Angeles Times Magazine. </p><p>Additionally, he has been chosen each year since 2014 for the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 in California and Southern California Super Lawyers Rising Stars, honors given to less than 2.5% of attorneys in Southern California under the age of 40.  Matt has also been selected each year since 2015 for the American Academy of Trial Attorneys’ Premier 100 Trial Attorneys, the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys “10 Best” Attorneys for California, the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys’ Top 10 Under 40, and for the highest AV Preeminentrating offered by Martindale-Hubbell, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious peer rating service for legal ability and ethics.   </p><p>Based on the significant trial skills and incorporation of trial technology that Matt has brought to bear in his cases over recent years, he was also asked to join the faculty at Whittier Law School as an Adjunct Professor to teach a class on Trial Technology from 2015 - 2017.  Additionally, in early 2016, Matt was the youngest litigator asked by NBC to screen test for an upcoming NBC primetime real-life trial series Law & Order: You The Jury — a new reality series created by Dick Wolf to feature high profile real-life litigators trying lawsuits live on primetime television for a voting audience.  While very flattered by the interest in his skills and talents, Matt decided to decline the request due to the time commitments of his law practice and teaching schedule. </p><p>The recognition Matt is receiving from his peers in the legal community is not surprising, as he first came to our firm (then known as the Law Offices of W. Douglas Easton) with high marks and accomplishments in college and law school. He received his B.A. in 2006 from Brigham Young University, where he majored in English and minored in Philosophy and Editing.  Whittier Law School awarded Matt a full academic scholarship, which paid his full tuition for all three years of law school at Whittier.  In 2009, Matt received his Juris Doctor magna cum laude from Whittier Law School, graduating in the top 10% of his class.  He was admitted to the California Bar in 2009. </p><p>While at Whittier Law School, Matt was chosen as the “Best Oral Advocate” of the 3rd Annual Susan E.

Gabriel’s passion to seek justice for personal injury victims drew him to Easton & Easton. Prior to law school, Gabriel was a paralegal for a personal injury law firm, where he experienced first-hand the inequities of a system that desired to take advantage of victims who had been harmed by the negligence of others, which sought to pay these victims as little as possible for the pain and suffering they endured. Gabriel realized that a strong and zealous advocate was needed to combat these inequities, and therefore he decided to become an attorney.</p><p>Gabriel has made an immediate impact at Easton & Easton, assisting in obtaining a six-figure settlement within his first month here. Gabriel knows that each person that walks through the doors of his firm has been harmed in some way and has a unique story to tell. He excels in bringing that story to light in a compelling, persuasive, and convincing manner. Now having been with the firm for more than five years, he has been an integral part to the team. He believes in a strong litigation posture, which allows him to orchestrate larger settlements for his clients. In 2019, he settled an $800,000 automobile accident case for his client, and a $740,000 automobile accident for another. He was also integral in mediating a hotly disputed premises liability action that he assisted in settling for $1,997,000.   </p><p>Gabriel received his B.A. from the University of California, Irvine, in 2009, where he majored in Criminology Law & Society and minored in English. Gabriel went on to attend Whittier Law School where he received his Juris Doctor Summa Cum Laude in 2014 and graduated in the top 4% of his class, ranking 7th out of 171 students. In December 2014, Gabriel was admitted to the California Bar.</p><p>Gabriel has always had a strong commitment to advocacy, which is evident through his time at law school and in his legal career. While in law school, Gabriel was a member of Whittier’s Trial Advocacy Honors Board and Moot Court Honors Board, where Gabriel competed on multiple occasions. At the onset of his career as an attorney, Gabriel focused his practice on all things litigation, which includes extensive experience in drafting complaints, law and motion, legal research & writing, and trial preparation.</p><p>Gabriel has always had a strong commitment to his community and serving others. At UCI, Gabriel was a Life C.O.A.C.H. for UCI’s counseling department, where he assisted people in overcoming hurdles in their life. Gabriel was also a member of a Jump Start Program and Criminology Outreach Program that allowed him to mentor students in the Orange County area, with a focus on developing children’s goals towards obtaining higher education.</p><p>Gabriel is married to his wonderful and supportive wife, Dr. Kelsey Mendoza, who is a psychologist that practices in Orange County. Gabriel has a love for sports, especially for basketball with his favorite team being the Los Angeles Lakers. He enjoys reading, CrossFit, hiking, and finding ways to volunteer and give back to the community.</p><p>Gabriel is admitted to practice in all California state courts, the U.S. Eastern District Federal Court, and the U.S. Central District Federal Court.</p>","CountryCode":"US","CssClass":"card card-lawyer card-lawyer-biography highlight d-flex flex-column border-0 rounded text-white background-dark-blue-gray background-dark-blue-gray-highlighted-hover","AriaLabel":"LawyerBio","ViewName":"LawyerBio","ViewPath":"~/Views/Shared/Components/Cards/Lawyers/LawyerBio.cshtml"},"Contact":null,"Pages":[{"IsLoty":false,"LotyBadgeUrl":null,"PublicationListId":2,"HasLawyerProfileImage":true,"LawyerProfileImageUrl":"https://cdn.blrankings.com/best-lawyers/lawyer-images/gabriel-m-mendoza-286748?t=2021032316321291","IsLocked":false,"HasLawyerProfile":true,"LawyerProfileUrl":"https://www.bestlawyers.com/lawyers/gabriel-m-mendoza/286748","LinkTarget":null,"LinkRel":null,"LawyerId":0,"LawyerFullName":"Gabriel M.
