Divorce is undoubtedly one of the most difficult experiences someone can go through. It takes an extraordinary person to navigate through the process while being engulfed in high client emotions, which is why I am so glad that I chose Matt Kowtko to represent me. Matt was direct, precise, responsive, and didn’t sugar coat or set unrealistic expectations. He absolutely commanded the courtroom while maintaining professionalism and razor focus on every detail. It was not a short or easy road to get to the finish line, but Matt’s confidence and assurance along the way made it as bearable as possible. I am forever grateful for all that he and his team did to see me through such a difficult time in my life. I highly recommend Matt Kowtko for anyone facing family legal matters.

The Kowtko Law Group,
Amazing I don’t really know how to put into words , but I am going to try !
From Matt and Susana Kowtko to the associate attorneys, to the interns you will not meet member of this team that will let you down. My situation probably one of the more unique, Matt has had to coordinate between Florida and New York with my other attorney and has always exceeded expectations. From 5:30 am on the morning of the court date and midnight on the side of the road. Matt Kowtko has made sure that my self and family are always protected. I really couldn’t ask for anything else. If you need an attorney for any aspect of law this has to be your choice you will not be disappointed. From day one Matt remembers details of my 9 year case that I have forgotten, and he has only been involved with us for 13 months. You go to there office you will feel like family every time. I could go on about this law group all day. Just know that you will receive exemplary service from Matt, Susana and there staff.

These guys are truly amazing. They’re compassionate, empathetic, and they will fight for what’s right when it comes to your case. Matt himself is a brilliant attorney. He’s intelligent, charismatic, and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent me in my family law case.

I retained Matt and his firm to represent me in our challenging and hostile divorce case where my ex manipulated the system to try to keep our daughter from me. After mediations failed, I needed a bulldog lawyer who would not be intimidated nor deterred in the fight for our daughter to have equal time with both parents. It took 1.5 years but he did it. He championed my cause and we won. And at a reasonable fee compared to other successful lawyers. I highly recommend him and Kowtko Law Group.

Matthew is a fierce advocate for his clients. He represented my mother well in her divorce action. I've seen dozens of divorce attorneys panic and underperform for their clients in trials and hearings. Matthew performs well in a courtroom. He is able to think on his feet and fight for what is right.

Matthew helped me with an overwhelming situation. He is confident, works strategically and is very straightforward about his process. Michael is also aces and was a tremendous help as well. I don't know what I'd have done without them. Matthew Kowtko was highly recommended to me and i am passing that recommendation on to you.

Hiring an attorney can be a frightening process, but I am so grateful to Matt and his team. They carefully listened to my situation and guided the step by step options in detail, then recommended a plan to move forward. Since this case had my child’s best interest at stake, it was imperative things were done right. Mr. Kowtko is knowledgeable about family law, which is key to getting positive outcomes. He is also aggressive, confident, strategical, and was upfront with me throughout the whole process. Matt was also very responsive with communication and would respond quickly via e-mail or telephone. Thank you Kowtko Law group!

If you are reading this, searching for help with a divorce or other legal matter, trust me they are top notch. They have guided me through two very difficult situations in my life in the past year. Matt is the bulldog you want on your side. He also is amazing at knowing just the right thing to say to calm your panic. A few words in an email can put your mind at peace. He gets that. Michael is also really wonderful, he’s conscientious and follows through with details going above and beyond to make your case right. Needing an attorney means you are going through something stressful and having a strong team like this is key to getting through it with a favorable outcome. Just have faith you will make it to the other side. They will do the rest.

This man and his team not only get things done, but they truly care! They know who truly is just trying to get others in trouble and who truly is a trouble maker. They understand that people who are good can still get blamed while the bad person is the one that leaves looking like an angel. I would definitely recommend this law group. The entire team and Matt are genuine! We are highly impressed!

Best damn family lawyer on the Gulf Coast, works in Sarasota, Bradenton, and even Tampa I believe!! I know that he believes in parental equality for FIT parents....he helped my husband thru his ordeal and was the ONLY one who fought to right the wrongs that were done to him by previous parties. Now, I am hoping that he'll be able to do the same for my son! Matt is very caring, compassionate and a go-getter!! Thank you, Matt, for all you do to help protect the parent~child bonds!

Matt represented me in a alimony settlement, I am extremely impressed by his knowledge of the law and his compassion towards me as a client. I was very traumatized by the divorce and his calming way about him was extremely appreciated. He would always return my calls or emails in a timely fashion. I cannot say enough to express how good of an attorney he is and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Mr. Kowtko is a true professional and compassionate attorney. He became our 5th attorney in a long 4 year battle, and is the ONLY one that has done anything. He is a bull but respectable in the court room. Mr. Kowtko takes time out of his busy day, even late evenings, to address issues for his clients. I highly recommend him to everyone and will continue to recommend him long after our case is complete. So if you are looking for an fantastic attorney that is affordable, you need look no further than Mr. Kowtko.

This young SUPERB lawyer has dragged me out of the worst period of my life, showing great passion, perseverance and skill in his work. I am proud to say I had a direct line with him and he was able to hold patiently also my moments of depression. I wish him all the best and a bright future, he deserves it. Thank you so very much for everything, Mr. Kowtko!

"My experience with Mr. Kowtko was very positive and my case was resolved to my advantage quickly and smoothly. I retained Mr. Kowtko to handle my relocation matter with my daughter from Orlando to Sarasota. Mr. Kowtko is extremely knowledgeable in family law and court proceeding. My first experience with a family law attorney occurred when I had to go to court with my ex-husband and found myself in the middle of a custody battle. This experience was extremely negative as I was always more scared and paranoid after talking to my then attorney than confident in his skills and trustworthiness. I should have listened to my intuition because he took the $4,000 retainer, gave me a ridiculously inflated itemized bill and did very little for me at the end. As a result, when I needed to contract legal services again I was very careful and skeptical; my experience with Mr. Kowtko helped me regain confidence in lawyers once again. He was always very informative, kept constant contact with me, kept me up to date and educated me about many court proceedings related to my case that I was completely unaware of and always discussed and advised me of possible outcomes upfront before I made any decisions related to my case. He was also very sensitive and considerate of the physical and emotional stress that I was going through at the time and helped me keep calm and confident throughout the entire process. If I ever need a family law attorney again, I will certainly hire Mr. Kowtko; if you are looking for a well prepared, affordable, trustworthy and aggressive attorney, I strongly recommend his services.
Professional, reliable, and results oriented."

My family and I found ourselves in a very traumatic, stressful legal situation with no one to turn to. My father who knew of our situation recommended a smart, savvy, upcoming lawyer. To be honest we were hesitant, however, upon meeting Matthew Kowtko we knew immediately that we had made the right decision. Attorney Kowtko was extremely professional, fostering, and sensitive to our needs, while at the same time provided expert knowledge in the legal system. His knowledge is ever expansive and his attention to detail is evident during representation. When we needed Matthew he was just a phone call away at all hours helping us when various legal situations arose. I strongly recommend Matthew Kowtko P.A. and often provide his name to many of my friends and family.
