About Mr. Matthew D.
Mr. Matthew D. Keenan earned his bachelor’s degree in English from Beloit College, completing his undergraduate studies in 1985. He went on to law school at Loyola University Chicago School of Law and received his J.D. in 1988. Those formative years shaped his approach to legal reasoning and writing, skills he would put to use over a long career in private practice.
After law school Keenan took up practice in Illinois. He is licensed to practice in that state and began building a solo practice in the mid-1990s. In 1995 he established the Law Office of Matt Keenan, an office that provided him a platform to handle matters directly for clients and to manage the business side of legal work. Over time he has practiced under a couple of business names, now appearing as Matthew D. Keenan, Lawyer at Law.
Keenan’s career spans courtroom work and office counseling. His background in English and law school training made him a lawyer who pays attention to the written record. He has represented individuals and small businesses on a variety of matters. Records show steady private-practice activity rather than a path through large firm hierarchies or long stretches in public office.
He maintains membership in professional legal associations and remains active in the local bar community. That participation has kept him connected to continuing education and to peers who handle overlapping legal issues. Keenan’s long presence in practice reflects a preference for handling cases directly and managing client relationships personally.
Colleagues describe his approach as practical and straightforward. He tends to handle matters that require careful analysis of documents and clear communication with clients. His practice has involved typical issues faced by individuals and small enterprises, and he brings a measured style to negotiations and courtroom appearances when they are necessary.
Today Keenan practices under the name Matthew D. Keenan, Lawyer at Law. He continues to accept matters in Illinois and to serve clients from his established practice. His current work remains concentrated on advising and representing individuals and small business clients in the types of legal matters commonly handled in a solo practice setting.
