William Matthew Kowtko

My experience with Mr. Kowtko was not helpful to me in my divorce settlement. At first he said all the right things but things quickly soured when I received the first set of documents to sign and had to correct all the pronouns in the draft. At my second office visit, they moved to a new location an...d never bothered to tell me or even leave a note on the door with instructions on where to find them. I tried to fire him once but realized I would never get any money back (I paid him in full up front - big mistake)so I stuck it out. My ex was emotionally and verbally abusive. I fled my marital home after a particularly abusive event and left with only a few items of clothing. I took $60k out of my 401k to obtain an apartment and buy food, furniture, sheets, towels, kitchen utensils, plates, etc. as I left with nothing. A month and a half later, I was allowed back into the home to collect my personal items and was told by my attorney not to take any furniture or items purchased during the marriage. When I entered the home I realized quickly that he had hidden all our valuables and his guns. I provided Ring camera videos of my ex using a dolly to return items back to our home from a neighbors house. My lawyer did nothing. No motion was ever filed to stop him from selling our marital assets and keeping the proceeds. My ex purchased a $60k truck, sold our marital boat for $36k then took another $20k from our savings account to pay the note off. My lawyer did nothing to stop this. I would not recommend Mr. Kowtko to represent you in your divorce.

Our son was fortunate to be able to retain the services of Matt Kowtko from the Kowtko Law Group. Matt helped us during the most difficult year of our lives. Our son was wrongfully accused and was charged with serious capital crimes. These offenses were to be punishable by life imprisonment with no ...parole and possibly the death penalty. Needless to say, we were horrified. From the moment we met with Matt and his team, we immediately knew they would do their best to defend our son. Matt is truly exceptional, and his legal expertise is top notch. He was always available to listen to ALL our concerns and provided the best possible explanation of the legal system. His aggressive defense strategies as well as his detail to all the research were absolutely astounding. When we started feeling unsure, Matt was able to reassure us that we were in good hands. He will not sugar coat anything; he gives it to you straight. We were also very fortunate that Matt partnered with Attorney Allan Baily who is thorough and very knowledgeable. When you hire Matt, you get it all – he will NOT quit on you. He will put everything he can into defending you and we are forever GRATEFUL. Ultimately, our son was acquitted on all counts!! We recommend Matt Kowtko without reservation to take on any legal matter; he is the best.

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 day one with Matthew I felt I had chosen well. He is very confident, assertive and well prepared. His staff is exceptional. Would Highly Recommend if you want to get a desirable outcome. My case was very difficult and I received exactly what I asked for....Very likable Man.. Thank You for secu...ring my Future ✨✨
