About Haley Law Offices
When you’ve been injured in an accident, you need an attorney who will be deeply invested in obtaining justice for your case. Personal injury settlements don’t take place with a defendant–they take place with an insurance company. Going toe-to-toe with an insurer’s legal defense team demands a lawyer who is diligent and experienced. Haley Law Offices is exactly that.
Our firm’s track record of experience speaks for itself. Frederick Haley opened the doors here in 1955 with a commitment to fighting on behalf of ordinary people. Today, Frederick’s son Matthew, with his own strong legal history that can be traced back to the early 1980s, carries on the fight for justice.
Haley Law Offices knows that the outcome in a personal injury case will be dependent on a lot of little details. Getting those details requires knowing what questions to ask and what to look for in the investigation of an accident. The final settlement amount may swing on a detailed understanding of just how much money the injured person really stands to lose. It’s often more than what most people think.

Client Testimonials
We're Committed to Fighting on Behalf of People Like You
-
“His multi-generational legal expertise was shown throughout my case handling and we settled out of court for a higher sum than the opposing counsel initially proposed!”- Former Client
-
“Mr Haley took my case so seriously and responsibly. He evaluated my case very carefully. Although the final assessment concluded that he did not see the odds of winning the case, I thought the reasons they detailed were convincing. I am deeply grateful for spending his precious time and putting a big effort to review my case. By the way, the paralegal Katie was quite nice too.”- L.Y.
-
“Mathew, Michael (attorneys), and Katie (paralegal) exceeded all expectations in handling my car accident injury case. The insurance company was unwilling to work with us for the first 2 years of the lawsuit, but they didn’t give despite not receiving a settlement offer until 1 week before the trial date. In the end, they were able to get the insurance company to settle for the full policy amount, which I was not expecting. On top of their diligence with the case, they were extremely helpful/friendly throughout the entire process,s explaining how the system works and keeping my spirits up despite the best efforts of the insurance company. I can’t recommend Haley Law offices enough.”- Cornelius H.
Fighting For Northern California
Even beyond experience and diligence, Haley Law Offices takes pride in having compassion for our clients. People who come to us are hurting, in the very literal physical sense. They need a shoulder to lean on and they need to know that their lawyer has their back. The emotional and psychological costs of injury can be as bad, if not worse, than the financial and physical toll. We know how important it is to be there for our clients.
Perhaps we know this because Haley Law Offices is a part of the community. Matthew grew up here in Oakland. After going south to UCLA for college, he returned to the Bay Area to go to law school at the University of San Francisco. His early career was spent at Bay Area firms before he joined up with his father. Matthew Haley and his staff are committed to seeing the people of Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and Contra Costa County treated fairly, because that’s the world they came out of and proudly live in today.

Our client, a medical doctor, suffered a stroke several days after having a massage.
