“All advocacy is, at its core,
an exercise in empathy.”
- Samantha Power

In order to advocate for someone, you need to know something about them.

Mat Schwartz put this belief into practice early on, working with diverse clientele through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Winnipeg, Macdonald Youth Services, and assisting Residential School Survivors. Through these experiences he first found a home for his advocacy, speaking for those who were either prevented, or unable, to speak for themselves.

It was this pursuit that brought Mr. Schwartz to the University of Manitoba for his Juris Doctor in Law. During his time there, he received multiple awards for demonstrated advocacy, including the Honorable Archibald S. Dewar Prize and the D’Arcy McCaffrey Q.C. Memorial Award – annual awards given to the student with the highest standing in the school’s advocacy courses.

Since that time, Mr. Schwartz has practiced exclusively in the area of Criminal Defence. He has represented clients in Winnipeg, and across the Province, at all levels of court in Manitoba.

    I’ve had Mat as my lawyer during the most difficult time in my life. He was very dedicated to my case and made me feel very confident with every decision we made. He has went above what I ever expected to get from a lawyer. He fought so hard for me in court and we ended up with a great outcome that we never thought we would achieve.

    I would highly recommend Mat to anyone who is looking for legal advice.

  • W.H.

    Two years ago, an attorney was needed for my best friend. I am grateful that this gentleman was referred to me as being a diligent and a compassionate representative for my friend's legal matters.

    Mathew is an individual that acts in the best interest of his client. His advice and council towards his approach in defending those that he represents, is second to none. It is my humble opinion, when you are in need of a defense attorney that you can trust, and continuously act in your best interest, look no further.

    But don't just take my word. Arrange an interview with Mathew and you will discover for yourself that his services are impeccable.

  • A.P.

    As soon as I stepped foot in Mat's office, I felt taken care of, and I was. From the moment he started looking into my case, I was always informed of what was going on. He is a very busy man working around the clock, and yet his communication towards me was thorough and on point. I honestly can't thank this man enough for what he got me out of. Mat is a very skilled professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

He gives you all of your options, the possibilities and makes sure you are prepared and understand everything that is going on concerning your case.

    He does not abuse his station, nor does he pray on your fear. He really goes the extra mile above and beyond!!!
