About Matthew R.
Matthew R. Swenson trained as a lawyer at SUNY Buffalo Law School, entering in 1993 and earning his J.D. in 1996. He graduated during a decade of change in the legal profession, when firms began to reshape how they handled litigation and client work. The law school years gave him the technical foundation he would use throughout his career and introduced him to issues that cut across state lines.
He is admitted to practice in both Pennsylvania and New York. That dual admission has informed the arc of his work. Over the years he has handled matters that require familiarity with the courts, procedural rules and regulatory frameworks of two neighboring states. Practicing in dual jurisdictions can change how a lawyer prepares a case, and he has adapted his practice to meet those demands.
Swenson is based at BRADY & SWENSON PC. The office environment there blends traditional practice with the practical needs of modern clients. He has worked on matters that brought him before state tribunals and into negotiations with opposing counsel. Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and methodical in preparation.
He has been part of the local legal community for decades. That long tenure has allowed him to refine how he counsels clients, how he marshals evidence, and how he manages the logistics of cases that cross state boundaries. He pays attention to procedural deadlines and to the candid assessment of risks. He also places value on clear communication with clients, explaining options and likely outcomes in plain terms.
Outside the courtroom he has maintained ties to peers and practitioners across the region. Those connections help when a case requires coordinated filings or expert testimony in more than one forum. He keeps current on rule changes and continuing education that affect practice in Pennsylvania and New York. As of 2026 he continues to practice at BRADY & SWENSON PC, concentrating his work on matters that arise under the laws and courts of Pennsylvania and New York.
