The firm

Treated like family. Not a case number.

Every Cap City client works directly with their attorney from intake through resolution: big law resources, boutique firm attention.

Why Matt started Cap City

Matt Mandelker has practiced Texas personal-injury law for 17+ years, much of it inside the state's largest firms, the kind with billboards and TV ads on every corner. He saw what the volume model does to real clients: case managers, not attorneys, handle the relationship. Settlement offers get accepted because the next case is already on the queue. The injured person never actually speaks with the lawyer they thought they were hiring.

In 2024, Matt opened Cap City Injury Attorneys with a different rule: every client works directly with their attorney from intake through resolution. The firm stays small on purpose. We turn down cases where we can't add real value. And every case we take gets the attention of a lawyer who actually knows it.

Where we work

Our office is at 702 Rio Grande St, Suite 302, Austin, TX 78701, two blocks from the Texas Capitol. We represent injured clients statewide, from Houston and Dallas to McAllen and El Paso. We make home and hospital visits for clients who can't come to us.

What we believe

  • Personal. Direct attorney access. No handoffs. No case-manager middleman.
  • Aggressive. Willing to take cases to trial. Insurers know which firms file and which settle cheap.
  • Selective. We take fewer cases by choice so the ones we take get real attention.
  • Texas-rooted. Austin-based, but we know Texas roads, courts, and the modified-comparative-fault rule across every county we file in.

Meet the team

Two attorneys. One promise.

The boutique difference

Why our size is the point.

Texas's biggest PI firms process thousands of files at once. We don't. That's not a limitation; that's the product. If you want a lawyer who can name the facts of your case, who returns your calls personally, and who has the time to take the case to verdict if that's what your case needs, you're in the right place.

Let's talk about your case.

Free case review, no obligation. We'll tell you straight whether we can help.
