I've been with children and families for many years in Sarasota, so I know the attorneys. When I needed help I went to the best. She was maxed on cases and referred me to Matt. He exceeded my expectations. As well as being smart, quick, talented, and confident, he's a strategic thinker. Matt blew the case out of the water, and opposing council has been in practice nearly as many years as he's been alive. Not only did we win, but he did it so well, the judge rebuked the plaintiffs. His team is incredible as well. If you want an attorney who is in it for you, give him a call.

From the moment I met Matt I knew he was the only one and only attorney in Sarasota for me. He was professional, caring and knew what needed to be done to win my case. He went the extra mile to make sure that I was comfortable with everything. The entire staff is professional and caring, very responsible and responsive when ever I needed to have questions answered.

I hired Matthew and his team to help me defeat a bogus Injunction leveled against me while under advisement of a previous bad legal advisor. For my daughter's sake, and that of my job and ministry, I had to get it set aside. He filed an Appeal with several strong arguments to use with projected costs over $7k and timeframe of 1 year. Through negotiations with opposing counsel, he and his team succeeded in getting the opposition to back down and negotiated a civil minimal contact agreement in exchange for a dismissal of both cases within 90 days, at a much reduced cost out of pocket. I highly recommend Mr. Kowtko.

Hello, my husband and I were in a place in which we literally felt completely lost, confused, terrified for our oldest sons future and someone who we once trusted and loved, who had turned into someone we did not even know, let alone recognize. This person had begun to lie, cheat, steal from both of my parents, myself, my husband, and my children, but even worse than that, they had soon after one of our children's Bar Mitzvah's had taken glow in the dark spray paint and drew a Swastika on our bedroom door, along with a penis. The had also used the glow in the dark spray paint to leave some awful comments as well with another swastika, knowing there was a witness home. We had made an appointment for a consultation and after having explained everything to this attorney and his associates and the depth in which it is causing us so much stress and anxiety. I have been breaking out in rashes and hives from what my sons pediatrician said looked like stress induced eczema. After sitting in this mans office and only having met he and his associates during that consultation, he stepped right up to the plate and was so encouraging that for the first time since all of this started, I had finally felt a moment of peace and hope. I had a glimpse of what not crying for a moment and time felt like and was able to even laugh for a while. There was no way we were walking out of this mans office without hiring him and his associates. This man is amazing, he is knowledgeable and he knows what he wants and is not afraid to ask for it.

Dissolution of marriage. Was compassionate with both sides but assertive and an excellent negotiator. Was able to help me settle a large mess without the other side feeling financially displeased.

Mr. Kowtko went above and beyond for our family. Things appeared limited, and a favorable resolution seemed impossible. But he worked diligently to defend us from an unjust accusation and we were able to receive a favorable outcome.

Matt was hired to represent me and did nothing to move my case forward in the year I had him. he seemed more concerned about pleasing the petitioners attorney than helping me. When I was a diagnosed with a health condition, I asked him to postpone any upcoming court dates. He took it upon himself to instead go to court without me and without me even knowing anything about it. The same day he "represented" me in court he filed a motion to withdraw from my case, I'm sure it was because he knew I would be very upset that he went without my consent and then on top of it sided with the opposing party. He never even contacted me to let me know he was withdrawing. The attorneys I've recently spoke to have urged me to contact the Florida bar

Matt was easy to get a hold of and returned messages quickly. He worked around my schedule as he could and was able to meet me close to work. He completed all the paperwork quickly and emailed it to me so I could review it and get it returned to him for quick processing. I would recommend hiring him to represent you.

William Matthew Kowtko's legal services are truly outstanding! Matt provided honest consultation advice and was extremely flexible with scheduling appointment times. His direction with my case eased all apprehension knowing his legal expertise was involved. Matthew Kowtko is a committed, educated, professionally aware lawyer. His strategic focus towards positive outcomes and attentive client care/counsel are exceptional. He is an authentic lawyer but most importantly - a genuine person. I highly recommend "Matt" for legal services now and for future endeavors.

We all are concerned on who we hire to take legal matters into someone else's hands doing research Exedra. Search no further the experience and dedication Matt gave me is more then any person can ask for he was always there for me at the drop of a dime on any issues that I had my phone call went straight to him not his receptionist and will get back to you maybe today are sometime tomorrow afternoon it was ASAP! Hes like family no need to search and ask for advice on who is the best you got my word he's the man to call.
