Big Firm Results, Small Firm Attention: Why Choose Matthew Bretz

Some law firms have resources but treat clients like case numbers. Others give personal attention but lack the experience to take on large insurance companies. Bretz Injury Law offers both. Attorney Matthew Bretz built his practice on a simple idea: every client deserves focused, personal attention and a lawyer who is fully prepared to go to trial.

A Track Record That Speaks for Itself

Since 1991, Bretz Injury Law has won over 98 percent of the cases pursued and secured more than $300 million in verdicts and settlements. Notable results include a $50 million wrongful death settlement, an $18.5 million brain injury recovery, and an $8 million assault verdict. These outcomes reflect a commitment to thorough preparation and aggressive advocacy for every client.

Recognized by Peers and Industry Leaders

Matthew Bretz has earned recognition from respected legal organizations across the country. He has been named to the Top 100 Trial Lawyers list by the National Trial Lawyers Association multiple years in a row. He was also selected as Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury in Wichita by Best Lawyers in 2015. For more than a decade, he has carried the AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating possible for professional ability and ethics.

He Teaches Other Lawyers How to Win

Matthew Bretz is a faculty member at the Keenan Trial Institute, where he trains trial lawyers from across the country on how to maximize recoveries for injured clients. He also wrote the book on personal injury claims in Kansas. Now in its fourth edition, “Protect Your Future: Win Your Injury Case with Honesty and Integrity” provides practical guidance for accident victims and fellow attorneys alike.

Driven by Personal Experience

On Valentine’s Day in 1992, Matt Bretz lost his 16-year-old sister, Marlee, when her car was struck by a train. That loss shaped his life and his career. It is the reason he serves on the national board of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. And it is the reason he approaches every case with a deep understanding of what families face after a sudden tragedy.

Trusted by Clients Across Kansas

Clients consistently describe the experience at Bretz Injury Law as personal, responsive, and compassionate. One client wrote that Matt treats every person as though they are his only client. Another shared that the firm walked their family through a wrongful death claim during an incredibly difficult time. These are not just reviews. They reflect the way the firm operates every day from offices in Wichita, Hutchinson, Salina, Kansas City, Topeka, and across the state.
