Hired Attorney Matthew R. Zatko

I was in need of a great family lawyer who was non-bias, who listened, and would fight on my behalf in an ugly custody case. I was recommend to see Attorney Zatko. Best choice that I’ve made, not only did he listen and fully grasp the situation without bias or judgement. He had everything sorted out in such a timely manner when my previously counsel took months to do even the simplest tasks. Attorney Zatko always had my best interest at heart when we spoke and how we approached my situation. He never took the easy way out. He never makes you feel like just another case or he’s in it for just your money. Attorney Zatko is wort it through through. I highly recommend him if you’re unsure of a legal circumstance or you’ve had a bad experience like I did with previous legal counsel, he will restore your confidence in knowing you’ll get the help you need. Not your typical average lawyer in all the good ways.

Hired Attorney Matthew R. Zatko

I am an out-of-state client who needed legal representation for a PA Turnpike speeding ticket in the Everett courthouse. Thankfully I found Attorney Matt Zatko. He and his staff were extremely responsive and attentive, reasonably priced, and delivered an exceptional result! If you are seeking representation in this part of PA for a similar matter, you should stop looking and contact Matt. All the best, TC

Hired Attorney Matthew R. Zatko

I had received a speeding ticket for 30 and above in a 55 mile zone in PA and was subject to Penndot department hearing. I had initially plead guilty to the offense ( oblivious of the fact that I would be subjected to penndot department hearing). I contacted Attorney Zatko who not only filed my case in the court of common pleas but also got all my points ( 5 points) down to zero and no department hearing. He was able to win me this case with his amazing skillset. I highly recommend Attorney Zatko.

Attorney Zatko gave me great advice regarding a Pennsylvania Traffic Violation over the phone. He explained to me many aspects of Pennsylvania law that will be helpful for a lifetime, and he saved me a lot of time and money that other lawyers would not have. He was very gracious with his time, and I am very grateful!

Attorney Zatko promptly called me back and provided excellent advice that saved me a minimum of $450 over what other attorneys were offering via their online services. He did not charge for the time given to determine there was no benefit to hiring him for this particular traffic violation. That’s never happened and I will most certainly call him again if there’s need in his areas of expertise.

Attorney Zatko helped me through a very difficult divorce. His knowledge and professionalism were a great asset to me not only in the courtroom but in my personal life as well. His experience and support left me feeling that no only did I have an advocate but I also had a friend. I recommend Attorney Zatko to anyone who needs a lawyer that will look out for their best interest and defend them.

It was wonderful getting to know you, in spite of the circumstances. I know divorce is far from fun, but I'm glad I was able to get you through it. Hopefully moving on in life IS fun!
