Matthew A. Cartwright Returns to Munley Law

In a significant move for the Pennsylvania legal community, Munley Law has welcomed back former U.S. Representative Matthew A. Cartwright as Of Counsel following a distinguished twelve-year tenure in Congress. Known for his dedication to advocating for the rights of individuals and families, Cartwright previously spent twenty-five years at Munley Law as a partner, establishing himself as one of the region's leading trial attorneys. His impressive career includes notable achievements, such as induction into the International Society of Barristers in 2008 and service on the Board of Governors of the American Association for Justice from 2009 to 2012.

Legislative Legacy

During his time in Congress, Cartwright represented Pennsylvania's 8th and 17th Congressional Districts and earned a reputation for his bipartisan leadership. Did you know he introduced more bipartisan legislation than any other House Democrat during his tenure? Over the years, he authored 16 bills signed into law by three different presidents, illustrating his commitment to impactful governance. One of his notable legislative successes was the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, allowing individuals exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune between August 1953 and December 1987 to sue for health-related issues.

Return to Legal Roots

Upon his return to Munley Law, Cartwright expressed his excitement about rejoining the firm. "I'm thrilled to return to my roots as a trial lawyer and work with the exceptional team at Munley Law," he stated. After advocating for individuals, families, and businesses affected by injustices in Washington, he is eager to now seek justice for them directly through the courts. As Of Counsel, Cartwright will focus on complex personal injury litigation and provide strategic advice on regulatory and governmental issues. His unique combination of trial experience and legislative insight will undoubtedly be an asset for clients seeking legal representation.

Munley Law's Legacy

Founded over 65 years ago, Munley Law has built a reputation for fighting for the rights of injured victims and their families through four generations.
