The Kowtko Law Group, P.A. represents clients in all areas of Florida family law and civil litigation.I practice family law by helping families with their dissolution of marriage, timesharing/custody, child support and domestic violence issues. I further represent civil litigation clients in a variety of areas, including defamation/libel, breach of contract and personal injury.Being married and having a family helps me empathize with the stress and the emotional toll that come with dealing with the important and sensitive matters involved in family law. As a professional and a business person I am able to understand the challenges and frustration involved with civil litigation cases.I have wanted to practice law since high school, which was reinforced when I worked for a local law firm in north Atlanta when I was an student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. As an attorney, I have helped many families with a wide variety of legal issues, ranging from family law or criminal defense, but I have chosen to help families with family law related issues.
Service to the community is another area I have dedicated my practice by donating time and efforts to facilities servicing low-income individuals with family issues and I gave regular assistance with low-income tax preparation during law school. I continue to strive to provide the utmost quality in legal services to every one of my family law clients.
