Meet Matt Dion, Owner and Personal Injury Lawyer

Matt Dion is the owner of Matt Dion & Associates in Reno, Nevada, and a personal injury lawyer with over 30 years of courtroom experience. He has been licensed in California since 1988 and in Nevada since 1994. Today, he represents only individuals and families in Northern Nevada who have been hurt because of someone else’s negligence, handling cases that range from car and truck crashes to wrongful death claims.

What sets Matt apart is where he started. He spent the early part of his career representing major insurance carriers, first in the San Francisco Bay Area and then in Las Vegas. That work showed him how insurers evaluate, delay, and minimize injury claims. He now uses that insight on behalf of injured people in the Reno area, building each case with a clear understanding of how the other side will try to defend it.

Three Decades of Trial Experience in Nevada and California

Matt was born and raised in Vallejo, California, and began practicing law in the Bay Area. In 1994, he moved to Las Vegas, where he spent about three years in insurance defense before switching sides to represent injured clients against insurance companies. He practiced personal injury law in Las Vegas until December 2012, when he relocated his family and his practice to Reno.

Over his career, Matt has tried more than 50 jury trials, along with numerous court trials, arbitrations, and mediations. He has also served as a private arbitrator and mediator, giving him a neutral view of how claims are weighed and resolved. That trial record matters to clients. Insurance companies know which attorneys are prepared to take a case to verdict, and they factor it into how they negotiate.

Matt’s Approach to Representing Injured Clients

Matt believes that honest and aggressive representation is what leads to the best recovery and the most satisfied clients. After an accident, people are often dealing with medical bills, missed work, and calls from adjusters all at once. Matt guides clients through each stage of the process, explains their options in plain terms, and handles communication with insurers so clients can focus on recovering.

Because he once sat on the insurance side of the table, Matt prepares every case with the defense’s strategy in mind. That preparation shapes how he documents injuries, values claims, and negotiates. When a fair settlement isn’t offered, he is ready to take the case to trial.
