Personal: Matt Quinlan was born in Chicago, but grew up in Mississippi and California. He is extremely entrepreneurial, which is why he prefers the culture of a plaintiff's firm and its small-business feel, pressures and intimacies.  In 2003, while attending law school, Matt founded FantasyFootballHelpers.com, a California LLC that sold memberships/access to fantasy football strategy and information to fantasy footballers across the country via the internet.  While under his ownership the business grew from a skeleton staff to a team of 13 industry-recognized sports writers from across the United States, whose work was also featured on Fox Sports, Sporting News, and several local sports radio outlets across the country.  The business realized revenues from thousands of paying members and online advertising contracts with the likes of ESPN, CBS, Sportsline, and DirecTV.  In 2007, Matt sold his business for a profit in response to his strong desire to invest all of his time to his practice of law and The Cartwright Law Firm.  Matt is a diehard Chicago Cubs fan, which stems from his family roots in the Chicagoland area.  He enjoys other recreational activities such as golfing and weight-lifting.  Matt has been steadily employed with The Cartwright Law Firm since 2002, when he first held the position of Summer Associate, while attending USF Law School.  Matt became a Partner of The Cartwright Law Firm in 2007 (click to view the Press Release).
