Something interesting just happened in the legal world. Matthew Blair, the name whispered in courtrooms and shouted in victory parties, just got nominated as Best Lawyer of 2025. That’s right. Best. Not “pretty good.” Not “doing okay.” Best.
“Honored to be recognized for the work we do.” — Matthew Blair
People have been watching Blair rise for over a decade. Some call him a legal wizard. Others call him a courtroom shark. But clients? They just call him “the guy who got me justice.”
Let’s rewind for a second. How does a kid from Southern California end up being one of the most talked-about lawyers in the country?
Blair started like many others. He went to UCLA for college, then got his law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. That might sound normal. But what came next wasn’t. Because Blair didn’t just become a lawyer, he became a force.
Since 2011, he’s focused on personal injury and employment law. That’s a fancy way of saying he fights for people who got hurt or treated badly. Car accident? He’s there. Hit by a truck? He’s ready. Fired for no reason? Blair’s already in your corner.
Now, here’s something to think about: What kind of lawyer would you want if your life fell apart overnight?
Would you want someone who only wants a quick settlement? Someone who takes your case, smiles politely, and never calls you back?
Or would you want someone like Matthew Blair?
Matthew Blair doesn’t just take cases. He dives into them. He learns every detail, every name, every date. He prepares like a coach before the big game. And when he walks into court, it’s not to play nice—it’s to win.
He co-founded Blair & Ramirez LLP with that same mindset. Their offices are in Los Angeles, Bakersfield, and Irvine, but their reach spreads across California. Their motto is simple: fight hard, get results, and treat every client like they matter because they do.
And oh, the results.
Let’s talk numbers. Blair has recovered millions for his clients. Not thousands. Not hundreds of thousands. Millions. One case brought in $6.25 million for a group of workers treated unfairly. Another gave $2.5 million to someone with back and neck injuries. There was also a $2.02 million verdict just last year. These aren’t fairy tales. These are court records.
You might wonder, “How does someone win that much?” Is he lucky? Is it all just timing?
Nope. It’s work. It’s grit. It’s staying up late reading stacks of papers that most people would fall asleep on. It’s being brave enough to stand up to big companies with even bigger lawyers.
Some people get nervous in court. Blair gets sharper. He turns facts into fire. He uses the law like a sword, cutting through lies and loopholes. And juries? They listen. Because he tells the truth, and he tells it well.
But awards don’t lie, either.
He’s been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star every single year from 2013 to 2023. That’s ten years in a row. Ten!
He also owns a perfect 10/10 rating on Avvo, a website where clients review lawyers. People don’t give out perfect scores unless they’re happy—or amazed. Blair’s reviews? Full of words like “brilliant,” “relentless,” and “life-changing.”
Still not impressed? Here’s the full lineup of awards Blair has earned:
- Super Lawyers
- National Trial Lawyers Association Top 100
- Super Lawyers - Rising Star (2013–2023)
- Perfect 10/10 Avvo Rating
- Recipient of Avvo’s Clients’ Choice Award
- Martindale-Hubbell® AV Preeminent® Rating
- Lead Counsel Rated
- The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 Under 40
- Number 1 Settlement - Personal Injury Award
- Top 50 Settlements - Motor Vehicle Accidents Award
- Top 100 Settlements - Personal Injury Award
And yet, Blair doesn’t brag. He doesn’t wear flashy suits or do silly commercials. You won’t see his face on a billboard next to a tiger. Instead, he lets his work do the talking. He shows up, gets serious, and gets results. It’s that simple—and that rare.
He’s also active in major law groups like the Consumer Attorneys of California and the California Employment Lawyers Association. He even trained at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, where only the most serious lawyers go to sharpen their edge.
Think about that. He’s not just winning. He’s always learning, improving, and hunting for the best way to help his clients.
Here’s something to chew on: Why would a guy like this not win Best Lawyer of 2025?
The truth is, this nomination feels more like a “thank you” than a surprise. It’s the legal world tipping its hat, saying, “Yep, we see you.” And maybe, just maybe, it’s time the rest of the world sees him, too.
He’s not just helping the injured. He’s changing their lives. He’s not just fighting cases. He’s fighting systems. He’s making sure no boss, business, or bully gets away with mistreating people just because they think they can.
And people are starting to notice.
Newspapers and news outlets have covered Blair’s biggest wins. Why? Because they matter. Because they show what can happen when a regular person finds the right lawyer. Not just any lawyer. The lawyer.
Even big companies have learned to fear that name. When Blair’s on the other side, you can bet they pay attention because he’s smart. He’s tough. And most importantly, he doesn’t back down.
So, what’s next for Matthew Blair? More cases? More wins? Probably. But he’s not thinking about awards or headlines. He’s thinking about the next person who needs him. The next case that needs justice.
And if you ever find yourself in a tough spot—hurt, mistreated, ignored—you might ask yourself one very important question:
Who do you want standing beside you?
If the answer is Matthew Blair, you’re thinking like a winner. You’re just smart.
Because in a world full of lawyers, there’s only one who gets to be “Best Lawyer” in 2025. And frankly? He’s earned it.
