About

Hi, I'm Rezarta Mataj. You will define me quickly once I share that I was appointed as a federal judge in Albania when I was 25 years old and succeeded in becoming a US attorney three years after moving to the US.

My specific practice areas are intellectual property law (trademark, copyright), and business law.

The 10-year experience gained while being on the bench and in-house in a big California company has provided me with valuable insight into commercial, corporate, and intellectual property law, listening carefully, diagnosing the issue quickly, and thinking outside the box.

In Albania, I received a Ph.D. degree on Albanian Federal Tort Claims Act and lectured in many law schools on IP law, Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, and Business law. I graduated as a judge from the Albanian School of Magistrates, ranking first in my class.

Why practice law

Speaking up for others and the drive to find right and wrong sides in a situation inspired me to follow a law career.

Fun fact

I am a proud mom of two girls and a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix. I love cooking, watching biographies, and volunteering for the Albanian community in Arizona in my free time. I speak Albanian and conversational French and Italian.
