About Matthew
Matthew Breen built a path to the law that began in the sciences. He earned a B.S. in Biology from The Citadel in 2013 and then turned to legal studies at Charleston School of Law, where he received his J.D. in 2017. He was admitted to the South Carolina bar the same year and holds permission to practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
He opened his first practice in 2017 under the name Law Office of Matthew M. Breen, Esq. The early years were concentrated on establishing a local presence and handling a broad array of client matters in state courts. He worked directly with individuals and other lawyers, learning courtroom procedure and the rhythms of case development.
In 2019 he took on a leadership role as managing partner at Lowcountry Law, LLC. In that position he has overseen case strategy, the coordination of filings and discovery, and the day-to-day operations of a small firm. The change from solo practitioner to managing partner expanded his responsibilities. He continued to appear in hearings and trials while also supervising administrative tasks and mentoring more junior staff.
Breen maintains active professional connections. He is a member of the South Carolina Association for Justice and holds membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Those affiliations place him among peers who practice trial and appellate work in the state and federal systems and provide forums for continuing legal education and professional exchange.
His practice spans matters heard in South Carolina courts and matters that reach the Fourth Circuit. He handles litigation from initial pleading through trial and, when appropriate, appellate briefing and argument. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing cases and persistent in courtroom settings. He balances the logistics of managing a law firm with the demands of litigation practice.
As a lawyer licensed since 2017, Breen continues to practice at Lowcountry Law, LLC in the Lowcountry region, where he handles litigation matters in South Carolina and appeals in the Fourth Circuit.
