My very first appointment with him at his office was a fiasco. They moved their office and never bothered to tell me or leave a sign on the old door with directions on where to go. He let my ex get away with ALL of our assets. My ex purchased a brand new truck, sold OUR boat for $36k to pay for it, then took $20k of OUR savings to pay the car loan off!! When I sent him a video proving that my ex was hiding our marital belongings at a neighbors house, he did absolutely nothing to stop him. My ex sold all of our furniture off and donated many of my things to Goodwill. After being emotionally abused by my ex for 38 years, to have my own lawyer gaslight me was pretty disgusting. Do not recommend.

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!!

To start this review - to come and finish very soon. This woman Cheryl is a horrible person! I must…read moresay the reviews I looked at were at least 2 years old so I gotta bring you up to date on this wicked terrible human being. First, she's not even close to being upfront - pricing confirmed at $625.50 October 2024 pressured to pay upfront in order to have this "questionnaire" PDF form emailed, and because pricing was going to the first of the year 2025, okay. BTW, I was UPFRONT about waiting for OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION from an agency they needed proof of divorce - without that my very simple uncontested divorce was NOT NEEDED, Cheryl agreed and said Oh no problem. I felt reasonably safe since her only acceptable payment was PayPal, which was great for me should anything go sour PayPal would refund my money (more about this later). Only after the very first introduction phonecall every subsequent communications were through email, another great thing since everything had been documented in writing . Okay, so Cheryl sent out a general email around January 2025 about delays from the 2 massive hurricanes we had back to back, Christmas and New Year's, and other stuff going on with her in her personal life. I immediately replied that she need not worry about me I was still waiting on official notification on whether or not I even needed to go through with a divorce, and I was in no immediate hurry and she need not worry about me (I thought I was actually doing her a favor by letting her know there was no pressure on my end). January, February, March through May I've still not heard a word from the agency and I believed I never would, which actually proved correct since I was approved without getting a divorce. I began the process to reach Cheryl to let her know I was not going to need a divorce and ask her to refund my money - I left countless voicemail messages for her (no answer, no one covering for her in her office to take messages, sent emails no replies nothing. It was only after about 2 weeks of unanswered messages I left she FINALLY replied to my email, but it was NOT a kind email which floored me I was not ready for that one! She's screaming at me why would I not think she would be sick or something in Tampa? Then she proceeded to go through her whole life story about all her illnesses and stuff...I was completely taken aback! I told her I was not a mind-reader and that it was unacceptable to be hollering at me when all I did was leave nothing but kind and polite messages asking her to please contact me I needed to speak with her - that's it. It was not my fault she's running a lean business without any type of help to field her calls and daily activities! And not only did I not need her services, but that I no longer wanted anything to do with her! Well something went off with her when I simply said that because she became VERY nasty and horrible with me none of which I deserved! I couldn't believe it, especially when she was placing all the blame on me! What?! It was just nuts. She didn't stop there, oh no no no no she continued her nasty and vindictive wrath by refusing to refund my money - G-d only knows what kind of lies she told PayPal to justify why she's hijacking my money. I need to clarify something - IF Cheryl had done ANYTHING even slightly more than only emailing about 6-8 pages of a PDF form she calls a "questionnaire," as G-d my only witness I would never, ever renege on a deal! To ME a deal is a deal regardless of this non-existent contract which I signed nothing! She's wrong to not refund my money - and I certainly cannot afford this kind of a loss, nor should I have to! Not that this should matter but my only source of income is Social Security barely above the poverty line! It's disgusting what Cheryl has done as a result of her madness in anger completely and totally unjustified! It's sad actually. I REFUSE to let her get away with this despicable act and hijack my money so now I have to spend about half that expenditure to sue her, and that SUCKS!!! Well I went far far beyond what I wanted to tonight, though I'm glad I did because it's work I need to do anyway to prep an answer . It's not really done I think there's a few things missing, and I didn't go through it to read how it sounds and fix typos but I'm gonna post it for now. My review is my honest, HONEST story. I don't lie! The truth used to be the hardest thing in the world for me to do as a little kid, like most I was afraid of the consequences. I can't tell you when exactly but I eventually learned I was a terrible liar - I would get super & embarrassed with a red face a very uncomfortable feeling. That's when I decided to just tell the truth and deal with it - far, far easier to do, and still a fairly young guy. I'm 68 and have been truthful in everything and with everyone for a very long time - and I feel great inside because of it! My dad, who's still alive still doesn't believe me - it sucks. Best, Joel

My experience with Matt Kowtko was not a pleasant one. At first he sounded like he was on my side…read moreand said all the right things to assist me in my divorce. However, from the very first set of documents sent to me where all the pronouns were incorrect, to the end where he never truly acknowledged my abuse at the hands of my ex-huband. I have since consulted with another attorney that reinforced my fears that I was not properly represented in my settlement. I am still struggling with the aftermath of this divorce settlement and had to hire another attorney to enforce the divorce decree. I tried to fire him but according to the papers I signed, I would not get my money back so I stuck with him even tho I knew he was not helping my cause. My ex hid all kinds of assets from me and lied about the value of the assets. (I provided video proof of this) He also sold all of our marital property without my consent, the proceeds of which he kept to himself. Purchased a new truck for $56k, sold our marital boat and took $20k from our savings account to pay it off. Mr. Kowtko called it a wash because I took $60k out of my 401k to purchase furniture and obtain an apartment. If you are a woman, do not hire him to represent you in your divorce.

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.
