About Matthew
Matthew Topic earned his undergraduate degree from North Central College in 2000 and went on to complete a J.D. at Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology in 2006. His time in law school coincided with a period of steady growth in legal technology and practice methods, and he left equipped for courtroom work and client representation. The combination of a liberal arts undergraduate education and a technical, practice-oriented law program shaped his early approach to legal problems.
After graduation he was admitted to the Illinois bar in 2006 and has practiced in the state since. Those first years in practice involved the routine tasks many young lawyers take on: legal research, drafting pleadings, and appearing in lower courts. Over time he expanded those responsibilities and began handling more complex matters, managing cases from intake through disposition. He has remained based in Illinois throughout his career.
Colleagues describe Topic as detail-oriented and methodical. He has spent much of his career developing case strategies, preparing written arguments, and representing clients in hearings. His work requires close attention to procedural rules and court precedent. He is comfortable in both written advocacy and oral argument, and he balances those skills when preparing cases for settlement talks or trial.
Topic is a member of professional groups and maintains an active presence in the legal community. He has kept up with continuing legal education and the changing demands of practice. That steady professional engagement has informed how he evaluates risks and advises clients. He does not present his work as theatrical. It is the steady application of legal craft, carried out day to day.
He is currently an attorney at Loevy & Loevy. At the firm he handles client matters and participates in the firm's case preparation and litigation processes. He remains licensed in Illinois and continues to accept matters consistent with his practice and experience. He currently focuses his practice at Loevy & Loevy.
