Mr. Essenson and his staff were incredible in helping me resolve a huge estate issue. We were able…read moreto settle before going to court and did so despite the fact that we were dealing with some very unreasonable people on the opposite side of the issue. I was kept abreast of the progress of where we were, and what kind of expectations we will have. They were realistic, and didn't try to pull me into some endless court fight that would have bled me dry of funds. I don't know how I would have gotten through this ordeal without Mr. Essenson and his staff. Five stars really isn't enough here!

Mr. Shapiro fought to cover all my medical expenses and then continued the claim for a very reasonable outcome. He helped me keep realistic expectations and then succeeded to fight beyond them and win. Law suits are no joke. It robs you of sleep, of health and of a sound mind. It plays awful with your family. You need an attorney with integrity because all the ugliness comes at you fast. I am grateful for his team . He meet with us face to face whenever we were in need. He always returned phone calls personally. His years of trial work and winning history underscores the statement, this man and his team get's the job done.

I had hired this man for a case four years ago and needed an attorney again recently. I have a long…read morehistory so I knew I needed someone who was going to fight for me. There is not any other attorney I would trust to fight for me like he did. I was facing six months in the county jail and he was able to negotiate the state down to three. We were trying to get no jail time and his recommendation was open plea to the judge; a long shot yes, however, I put my trust in him. He went to bat for me and presented an amazing case and got me one year county probation. Let me just say if you want a man who will fight for you until the end, this is the man for you. You may not communicate with him much during the course of the case, but rest assured he is working for you. I can't say enough about how much he fought for me and how much I appreciate the work he did.

He's never available at his office. Hiring this attorney was the worst thing I could have done for myself. I suspect some of his 5 Star ratings are not real and I think it's my responsibility to be truthful about the treatment I got from Mr Nawara. The unsuspecting public seeking qualified assistance from an attorney that they're not familiar with certainly deserves to hear the truth and a warning before agreeing to hire this attorney to take their case. Thank You

THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!…read more 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.

It was the worst experience I have ever had…read more I would recommend considering other options, as this lawyer may have to update himself on the new law signed by the governor. Arrogant, claiming he knows the judge, who supposedly rented a room in his office, and that they spent time together. In court, the judge had to instruct him not to ask questions or make requests that were not relevant to the case, as the law has been updated. The judge even recommended that he review the updated law. He'll promise you everything until you pay him; then you're on your own. I had to hire another attorney due to his incompetence before being rehired for the final; he severely damaged my case. In 2024, he was seeking permanent alimony under the new law, but he failed to submit the required pleas. When I questioned him, he arrogantly responded that he has been practicing for 20 years and can ask for whatever he wants. He never answers the phone and takes a long time to reply to emails. And if you speak with him about his nonsense questions, he's playing in court for the other party and the ridiculous plea; he is arrogant enough to respond that he does not need any criticism. Of course, he already got the money. Stop to practice and go back to Law school Mr. Weiffenbach.

After my original attorney completely dropped the ball--failing to show up to my court hearing despite multiple reminders and leaving me with a failure to appear and a suspended license--Jon stepped in and turned everything around. From the moment he took on my case, Jon was communicative, diligent, and proactive. He quickly got a new hearing set, had the D6 suspension of my license lifted, and successfully resolved my case. Even during the chaos of two hurricanes, Jon stayed on top of everything, keeping me informed and ensuring no details were missed. Jon's commitment to his clients and his ability to navigate complex situations with ease are truly unmatched. If you need an attorney who will go above and beyond to advocate for you, I highly recommend Jon Weiffenbach.
