About Brian Matthew
Brian Matthew Marchese is an attorney admitted to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He is listed as practicing at Jonathan M. Cohen, L.L.C., and maintains memberships in a number of local and national bar groups. His affiliations include the American Bar Association, the New Jersey State Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Bar Association, the Philadelphia Bar Association and the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association.
Marchese's path through the profession has been shaped by regional practice. He works on matters that arise on both sides of the state line, handling procedural and court-related demands in urban and suburban settings. Those dual-state responsibilities require careful attention to differing rules and calendars, and he has structured his practice to meet that need.
Outside of firm work he maintains an active presence in bar activities. His membership in the American Bar Association places him among practitioners who monitor national developments. At the state and city level he participates in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania bar associations and the Philadelphia Bar Association. The Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association membership points to an engagement with courtroom practice and trial procedure in the Philadelphia region.
Colleagues describe him as attentive to the practicalities of litigation and to the mechanics of preparing a case for hearing. He coordinates filings, deadlines and discovery obligations across jurisdictions and works with local counsel when matters cross municipal or county boundaries. That coordination extends to court appearances and pretrial proceedings, where familiarity with both New Jersey and Pennsylvania dockets proves useful.
At Jonathan M. Cohen, L.L.C., Marchese is part of a team that handles a range of client matters. He collaborates with other attorneys in the firm on case strategy and manages client communication through each stage of the process. His work often involves preparing filings, responding to opposing counsel and appearing in hearings where he advances clients’ positions before judges and administrative bodies.
In practice he balances courtroom responsibilities with the administrative demands of multi-jurisdictional work. He stays involved in the local legal community through bar association activities and trial lawyer forums. His current practice centers on litigation and trial work in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
