About Matthew D.
Matthew D. Tully earned his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University in 2010 and completed his law degree at Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2015. Those years shaped his approach to practice. He moved from a broad liberal arts background to a law school that emphasized practical skills and courtroom procedure. The transition framed his early professional choices.
He is licensed to practice in Illinois and practices at Tully & Associates. His work there has involved advising clients on matters that arise under state law and representing them before Illinois tribunals. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing cases and attentive to procedural detail. He balances courtroom work with client counseling, and he spends significant time preparing filings and motions as well as engaging in settlement discussions when they serve a client’s interests.
Clients at Tully & Associates come from a mix of backgrounds, including individuals and small businesses. He handles the day-to-day legal issues they face. That can mean guiding a first-time litigant through the steps of filing and service, explaining potential outcomes, or working with business owners on contract and compliance questions. He aims to make complex statutory and procedural matters clearer for people who do not practice law.
In the office he takes a hands-on approach. He drafts pleadings and briefs, prepares witnesses, and reviews documents line by line. When matters require court appearances, he presents arguments in state court and follows up on procedural matters. Outside the courtroom he focuses on practical problem solving and risk management. He tailors advice to the immediate needs of the client rather than offering broad theoretical overviews.
Peers note that he maintains an orderly docket and prioritizes timely communication. That pragmatic orientation is reinforced by his legal training and time practicing in Illinois. He participates in the routines of a busy firm where case management and client responsiveness matter.
He continues to practice at Tully & Associates, representing clients in a range of Illinois civil matters and providing counsel on state-law issues.
