Matheny Sears Linkert & Jaime LLP
Matheny Sears Linkert & Jaime, LLP was founded by Henry G. (Hank) Matheny in 1974. Hank was a “larger than life” man with a colorful background that served him well as a trial attorney. He fought in Korea and, after the war, was a claims adjuster in the South Pacific. He then became a cartoonist for Walt Disney before heading to law school. Hank was one of the consummate trial attorneys of his generation in Northern California. Fittingly, while defending an anti-trust case, he passed away during a trial recess. He “defensed” the case posthumously. Doug Sears joined the firm as a partner in 1979, following a successful career at the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office. Rick Linkert joined the firm in 1979 after completing law school. He became a partner in 1984 and has been Managing Partner since 1995. Matt Jaime joined the firm in 1989. He became a partner in 1996.
