About Charles Michael Landry
Charles Michael Landry III earned a Bachelor of Arts from Bridgewater State College in 1999, where he studied political science, history and sociology. He went on to study law at Suffolk University Law School and received his J.D. in 2002. His academic path combined liberal arts and legal training, grounding him in both the theory and practice of public affairs.
He is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Over the years he has balanced work across state lines, moving between local bar activities and firm practice. His membership record reflects that balance. He belonged to the Bristol County Bar Association from 2011 through 2018. Since 2019 he has held memberships in the Cumberland County Bar Association and the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
Those bar memberships trace a career that crosses municipal and state boundaries. They also mark a transition from regional practice in Massachusetts toward a broader presence in Pennsylvania. The move is visible in where he has chosen to engage professionally since the late 2010s.
In practice, Landry has spent time in law firm settings. He is listed as an attorney at Cognetti & Associates. That role places him within a firm context where attorneys handle client matters that often require coordination across jurisdictions. His experience in both Massachusetts and Pennsylvania supports that kind of work.
Colleagues describe him as someone who pairs careful legal analysis with practical case handling. He tends to approach matters methodically, breaking complex issues into manageable parts. That style shows through how he has navigated local bar work and firm responsibilities alike.
Outside the courtroom, Landry’s educational background in history and sociology informs his approach to client counseling. He pays attention to context and to how facts fit into broader patterns. That perspective can be useful when cases raise issues that go beyond law into community or institutional dynamics.
Today, Charles Michael Landry III practices at Cognetti & Associates, handling matters in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
