Saugus native Matt Rubner builds statewide legal practice while staying rooted in his hometown

For Attorney Matt Rubner, Saugus is more than the place he grew up — it is where generations of his family have lived, worked and built their lives. Matt comes from a long line of Saugus residents, with family roots in the town stretching back to his great-great-grandparents. His mother continues to live in Saugus and is a graduate of Saugus High School, as is his sister. Matt attended elementary school in town at the former Oaklandvale Elementary School, and he says Saugus has always remained central to who he is.

Growing up, Matt spent his time playing Saugus Little League, traveling Route 1 with his family and sharing meals at longtime local institutions, such as Kowloon and the late Hilltop Steak House, once a premier gathering place for families across the North Shore. “Those places were part of everyday life in Saugus,” Matt said. “They’re where a lot of memories were made.”

Today, Matt is a successful personal injury attorney, representing clients throughout the North Shore and Greater Boston in cases involving car accidents, pedestrian injuries and premises liability. While his legal practice has expanded statewide, he continues to focus on representing residents from Saugus and the surrounding North Shore communities.

Matt’s work has earned professional recognition across Massachusetts. He has been named to the 2026 Super Lawyers Rising Stars list, an honor awarded to attorneys under the age of 40 and limited to less than 2.5 percent of lawyers nationwide. The selection process includes peer nominations, independent research and evaluation of professional achievement.

So far this year locally, Matt secured a six-figure personal injury recovery on behalf of an elderly Saugus resident who suffered a serious injury in a retail store along Route 1. The case involved allegations of unsafe conditions on the property and required extensive litigation and hard-fought negotiations to resolve. In addition to that matter, Matt has handled multiple other six-figure injury cases and has been involved in resolving million-dollar personal injury claims during his career.

“Accidents can change someone’s life in an instant,” Matt said. “Especially for older residents, an injury can affect independence, health, and financial security. It’s important that people understand their rights and have their cases evaluated carefully, with strong advocacy on their side.”

Matt said that belief is deeply personal for him. More than a decade ago, his family lost his brother in a crash caused by a drunk driver. The experience pushed him toward the law and shaped his commitment to fighting for injured victims and their families, as well as holding negligent parties accountable.

Matt’s practice focuses on personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian injuries, slip-and-fall cases and other negligence claims. He emphasizes direct attorney involvement and thorough case preparation in each matter he handles.

Despite professional success, Matt says his connection to Saugus remains strong. “This town shaped my values,” he said. “Blue-collar hard work, fairness, and looking out for people — those lessons started here.”
