Experienced in federal, state, and administrative proceedings, Ms. Matukaitis routinely appears before private and court-annexed mediators, the United States EEOC, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

Shortly after opening her law firm doors in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Ms. Matukaitis and her cases began grabbing state and local media attention with headlines such as "Ex-Bus Driver Claims Sexual Assault by Supervisor", "Former Medical Center CEO Files Civil Suit", "Researcher Claims WellSpan Age Discrimination", and "Mom Fights for Law against 'Maternal Profiling'."
