Matt Brick didn’t always envision a career in law. With a psychology degree in hand and aspirations of pursuing psychiatry, he was preparing for medical school. But one evening, a lively round of Mario Kart with his older brother sparked a conversation about the challenges of law school—a playful discussion that ultimately redirected the course of his professional life. That moment of sibling banter set him on a path that would define his career as a skilled labor and employment attorney.
After achieving a higher score on the LSAT than on other graduate exams, Matt accepted a scholarship that allowed him to complete law school in just two years. He joined a long-standing family tradition of legal practice that includes his father, aunt, uncles, and more than a dozen cousins. Law offered Matt the opportunity to combine his analytical strengths with his enduring desire to help people, echoing the empathy that initially drew him toward mental health.
Today, Matt Brick is a shareholder at Brick Gentry P.C., representing private corporations and municipalities across a broad spectrum of labor and employment law matters.
