Matthew Fella was born and raised on the South Shore of Suffolk County, Long Island. He graduated from North Babylon High School in 1995 and received his Bachelor’s Degree from The Pennsylvania State University, with honors, in 1999. John’s University School of Law in Queens, New York where he graduated in 2002. His career began in 2002 at a boutique personal injury firm in Suffolk County, Long Island. Matthew’s tireless efforts and attention to detail helped him close hundred’s of cases to the benefit and satisfaction of his clients. Always able to maintain a personal/professional relationship with his clients, Matthew has excelled at being able to render "large firm" expertise and experience while fighting for his clients as a personal friend and representative. In 2008 Matthew opened his own law practice in Farmingdale servicing the entire Long Island community in a myriad of differing legal matters. He always kept his professional relationships and unwavering dedication to the profession which allowed him to not only focus on the needs of his clientele; but also to service the needs of other law firms. After four years he merged his firm with a larger Suffolk County firm and became the Managing Attorney. His legal experience and business experience have allowed Matthew to break all boundaries in business etiquette, legal proficiency and the main driving force behind this practice; helping others. Matthew’s desire to help others has led him to Babylon Village where he is able to focus more on peoples’ needs as individuals without being caught up in the business model of a larger firm which focuses on growth and finance and casts a shadow on helping others and problem solving. He now runs a boutique firm to listen and understand his clients and their needs and works vigorously at achieving the best possible outcome for his clients, friends, neighbors and business professionals alike. Matthew Fella continues to live on the South Shore of Long Island serving the legal needs of the community, Nassau and Suffolk Counties and the Greater New York Area. Born and raised as a Catholic he has found the ability to work in a profession often met by skepticism and untrustworthiness while helping people in any way that he can; whether legal counsel, community activism, common footing and/or a thread of kindness and understanding.

A motorcycle has no bumper, no airbags, nothing between the rider and the road. So when a car hits one from behind, the rider is the one who pays for it.

This rider, rear-ended in Plainview, resolved for $19,235.

The number is not the point. The point is that a rear-end crash is rarely the fault of the person in front, and a rider who did nothing wrong should not be left covering the damage and the medical bills alone.

If you ride, and someone hit you, it costs nothing to find out where you stand. I am available day or night.

"He made what could have been a stressful situation feel manageable and under control."

That is from Murray, a recent client, after a traffic matter. He said I explained every step, answered his questions quickly, and genuinely cared about how it turned out. It was resolved better than he had hoped.

A ticket can feel small until you think about what it does to your license and your insurance. You do not have to just pay it and hope, and you do not have to figure the process out alone.

Whether it is a ticket or an injury, the first call is free and I am available day or night.

It gets dark before a lot of us leave work now, and the first place that catches people is the parking lot.

A burnt-out light. A pothole you cannot see. A cart corral in the dark. A curb that blends into the pavement. You are carrying bags, you are tired, and the ground is not where your eyes think it is.

If you fell in a lot that was not lit or maintained the way it should be, that is not automatically just your clumsiness. Property owners are supposed to keep those spaces reasonably safe, and lighting is part of that.

Photograph the spot and the lighting that night, before it gets fixed. Report it to the store or the property manager.

You do not have to be sure before you call. That is what the free consultation is for, and I am available day or night.

Someone crossing the street did nothing wrong, and still ended up hurt. That is how this one started.

Every case is different, but the pattern is common this time of year. It gets dark earlier, drivers are not looking as carefully as they should be, and the person on foot has almost no protection when something goes wrong.

This one, right here in North Babylon, resolved for $95,000.

The number is not the point. The point is that being a pedestrian does not make it your fault. When a driver is not paying attention, the person who got hit should not be the one stuck with the medical bills.

If you or someone you love was hurt while walking, it costs nothing to find out where you stand. I grew up on these roads, and I am available day or night.

The other driver has no insurance, or barely any. A lot of people hear that and figure they are out of luck. You might not be.

There is coverage on your own policy for exactly this. It is called uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and most people have it without realizing what it does.

In plain terms, if the person who hit you cannot cover what they did to you, your own policy may step in and cover the gap. That is not you being greedy. That is the coverage you already paid for doing its job.

The catch is there are deadlines and steps, and the insurance company is not going to walk you through the version that helps you most.

So before you assume there is nothing to do, call. It costs nothing to find out, and I am available day or night.

You were just the passenger. You were not driving, you were not watching the stop sign, you were along for the ride. And you still got hurt.

This passenger, injured in Selden when the driver failed to stop at a stop sign, resolved for $30,000.

The number is not the point. The point is that as a passenger you are almost never at fault, and you may have a claim even when the driver was someone you know. It runs against the insurance, not against your friend.

If you were hurt as a passenger, it costs nothing to find out where you stand. I am available day or night.

If you are ever in a crash and you can safely reach your phone, photograph three things before you leave.

One. The plates. Every vehicle involved, not just the other guy's.

Two. The whole scene. Wide shots that show the road, the signs, the light, any skid marks, and how the cars ended up.

Three. Your injuries. What you can see that day, and again over the next few days, because bruising and swelling often get worse before they get better.

That is it. Three things, two minutes, and you have protected yourself far better than most people ever do. The insurance company documents everything. You should too.

Save this so it is there when you need it, and send it to someone who just started driving.

If you were hurt, call before you talk to any adjuster. I am available day or night.

Wet leaves on a step are almost as slippery as ice, and nobody thinks to clear them until someone goes down.

You walk out to your car, hit a patch of soaked leaves on a stairway or a stoop, and land hard on a wrist or your back.

Here is what most people miss. If you fell on someone else's property, whether it is a store, an apartment complex, or a walkway that was never cleared, the owner may be responsible for keeping that path reasonably safe.

Photograph the spot before anyone clears it. Tell the owner or manager so it is on record. Get looked at, even if you feel fine.

You do not have to be sure before you call. That is what the free consultation is for, and I am available day or night.

Not every ticket on Long Island is the same, and the difference matters more than most people think.

A ticket from a camera and a ticket from a police officer are two different animals.

A camera ticket, like a red light camera or a school bus stop-arm camera, is usually a civil fine tied to the vehicle, not points on your license. Annoying, but it does not follow your license or your insurance the same way.

A ticket handed to you by an officer for a moving violation is the one to pay attention to. That is the kind that can put points on your license and raise your insurance for years. That is the kind you do not just pay without thinking about it first.

So before you assume a ticket is no big deal, or panic that it is the end of the world, find out which kind you actually have. That is a two minute phone call, and it costs nothing.

(631) 482-7808. Available day or night. mfellalaw.com
