About Matthew A.
Matthew A. Wiley earned a Bachelor of Science from Drexel University in 2006, where he studied Management Information Systems and International Business. He continued his legal studies at Quinnipiac University School of Law and received his J.D. in 2009. Those years set the groundwork for a practice that blends business and legal thinking.
He entered practice as an associate at the Estate Planning Law Center in 2009. That early role placed him squarely in the practical work of drafting documents, advising families, and handling the administration of estates. Three years later he stepped into a leadership position. In 2012 he became principal of Wiley Law, LLC. He later took on managing partner roles at related firms, serving as managing partner of Wiley Etter, LLC beginning in 2016 and at Wiley Etter Doyon, LLC beginning in 2019.
Wiley is admitted to practice in New York, Connecticut and Florida. He holds membership in the Florida State Bar Association. From 2013 through 2019 he served as the Connecticut Forum Leader for Wealth Counsel, an organization that brings together lawyers who work on estate and wealth planning. Those affiliations reflect both a regional practice footprint and sustained engagement with peers in the field.
Colleagues describe his background as combining technical training and legal practice. A degree in Management Information Systems gives him familiarity with business systems and data concerns. His legal work, beginning at the Estate Planning Law Center and evolving through his own firms, has involved document preparation, client counseling and the procedural work that follows when estates are administered or trusts are managed.
He has steered small firm practice structures for more than a decade. That experience covers the administrative tasks of running a firm as well as the legal work lawyers provide to individual and family clients. His career path shows a steady move from associate to firm leader, rather than short stops at large firms or frequent changes of direction.
Clients and peers see a lawyer who merges practical business sense with the conventions of estate-related law. He handles the day-to-day legal drafting and the decisions that arise when assets, family relationships and long-term planning intersect. Today he continues to practice through Wiley Law, LLC, concentrating his work on estate planning, trusts and related matters.
