About Matthew R.
Matthew R. Zwick earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 2012. He arrived at law school after undergraduate studies and finished during a period of change in legal practice and technology. The diploma marked the formal start of a legal career that now spans multiple state and federal admissions.
He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He also holds admission to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Those credentials allow him to appear in both state courts and in federal appellate proceedings across the Third Circuit. His admissions reflect a practice that crosses state lines and federal boundaries.
Early in his career he built courtroom experience and legal writing skills that are essential on appeal and in trial-level litigation. Court filings, oral argument and case strategy have shaped his work. He has handled procedural and substantive issues that arise when cases move from trial courts to appellate panels. That experience informs how he approaches new matters and frames legal questions for judges.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing records and attentive to deadlines. He combines detailed record review with concise brief writing. That combination matters in appellate work where the record and the briefs often control outcomes. He also brings that approach to motions and other pretrial litigation tasks in state courts.
At Zwick Law he maintains an active practice that serves clients in the jurisdictions where he is licensed. The office handles matters that require filings in Pennsylvania and West Virginia courts, and it is positioned to handle appeals before the Third Circuit when necessary. Clients and opposing counsel encounter a lawyer accustomed to managing multi-jurisdictional procedures and the differences between state and federal practice.
Outside the courtroom he continues professional activity that keeps him current on procedural changes and appellate rules. He participates in professional settings that reinforce practical skills. That everyday professional work supports both trial preparation and appellate advocacy.
His current practice at Zwick Law centers on representing clients in matters that arise in Pennsylvania and West Virginia and on handling appeals that proceed to the federal appellate level.
