MUNLEY Law is excited to announce the return of former U.S. Representative Matthew A. Cartwright as Of Counsel. Following a commendable 12 years in Congress, Cartwright brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the firm.
Managing Partner Caroline Munley expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "His unique combination of trial experience, legislative expertise, and deep commitment to protecting the rights of injured individuals will be an invaluable asset to our clients and our firm." This sentiment reflects the firm’s commitment to providing expert legal services to those in need.
A Remarkable Legal Journey
Before his congressional service, Cartwright was a Partner at Munley Law for 25 years. Over that time, he established himself as one of the region's most respected trial attorneys. His accolades include induction into the prestigious International Society of Barristers in 2008 and service on the Board of Governors of the American Association for Justice from 2009 to 2012. Notably, he co-authored the legal treatise Litigating Commercial and Business Tort Cases, showcasing his commitment to legal education.
Legislative Achievements
From 2013 to 2025, Congressman Cartwright represented Pennsylvania’s 8th and 17th Congressional Districts. Throughout his service, he became known for effective bipartisan leadership, introducing more bipartisan legislation than any other House Democrat during his tenure. He skillfully authored 16 bills that were signed into law by three different presidents.
One of his legislative highlights is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, passed in 2022. This significant legislation allows individuals who faced health issues due to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune from August 1953 to December 1987 to pursue legal action against the U.S. government, marking a crucial step for individuals seeking justice.
A Passion for Justice
Cartwright expressed his excitement about returning to Munley Law, stating, "I'm thrilled to return to my roots as a trial lawyer. After years of fighting in Washington, D.C. for the rights of individuals and families, I look forward to seeking justice for them in court once again." His dedication underscores a transition from political advocacy back to the practice of law, focusing on individual cases.
In his role as Of Counsel, Cartwright will concentrate on complex personal injury litigation while advising on regulatory and governmental matters, further enhancing Munley Law's capacity to serve clients effectively. He reunites with his son, Jack Cartwright, who joined the firm earlier this year as an Associate Attorney.
