Matthew Moriarty is a founding member of Schoonover & Moriarty. His practice includes all legal matters associated with federal contracting. Matt’s philosophy when it comes to litigation and most legal matters is that being calm, cooperative, and cordial is the key to persuasive representation.
Matt’s first job out of law school was to clerk for the Honorable Julie A. Robinson at the U.S. District Court District of Kansas. There Matt learned that successful litigators and lawyers in general keep their audience in mind always. That means being helpful and as concise as possible.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Matt was a reporter for his hometown newspaper in Southern Pines, North Carolina.
Matt graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a double major in Anthropology and History. He earned a juris doctorate and a master’s degree from the University of Kansas.
Matt and his wife Emily live in Shawnee, Kansas, with their daughter Lily.
