Matt was a member of the trial team that represented five Salvadoran plaintiffs in a federal court lawsuit against Col. Nicolas Carranza, the former Vice-Minister of Defense in El Salvador. The plaintiffs were tortured or suffered the death of family members at the hands of the Salvadoran military during the early 1980s. The jury found that Col. Carranza was liable for the human rights abuses committed by his subordinates under the doctrine of command responsibility and awarded the plaintiffs $6 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
