About
I was born and raised in Allegan, MI being the 3rd of 5 children. My father, Peter, served in the United States Army and attended college at Michigan State University on the GI bill. It was there he met my mother, Nancy. After MSU, my parents married and my father enrolled at the Detroit College of Law (now Michigan State School of Law) while my mother taught elementary school and began a family. After graudating and passing the bar, my parents moved to Allegan in 1971 as there was an openning in the prosecutor's office and to raise their young family in a less crowded area. My father went into private practice in 1976 and continues to practice law today.I followed in my parents footsteps attending Michigan State University from 1991 to 1995 gradutating with High Honors. While in college, I spent my summers working in the United States Senate, Washington DC supervising Pages while also working in the cloakroom, an office directly off the Senate Floor. In the fall of 1995, I enrolled in the New England School of Law in Boston, MA. While in law school, I worked as a research assistant but returned to Washington DC after my first year to work for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee in the summer of 96. My interests eventually turned to the family practice and I returned home after graduation. Upon passing the bar exam in 1999, I began immediately handing misdemeanor criminal matters, family law, and child protective proceedings. In 2000, I began handling felony cases and my brother, Chris, joined the firm, Antkoviak & Antkoviak, P.C. In my years of experience, I have handled over 5000 misdemeanor and felony cases which range from low level charges to capital felony offenses. I have tried over 60 cases including both misdemeanor and felony matters. I continue to handle family court matters as well as general practice issues. I am involved with various organizations including the Michigan Bar Association, Allegan County Bar Association, Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and State Appellate Defenders Office. I have served numerous terms with the State Bar of Michigan Representative Assembly and also served on local community boards for the City of Allegan including the Planning Commission and Parks Commission. I currently serve on the Allegan County Community Corrections Advisory Board, Ascension - Allegan General Hospital Board of Directors, Forgotten Man Ministries Board of Directors and until recently, as President of the Otsego Christian Academy School Board. I am married to my wonderful wife of 15 years, Lori, and have three children. I am active in our local church, enjoy restoring historical homes, and writing poetry.

He helped me out when I wasn’t sure what to do or where to turn. He made sure I had someone representing me when I was locked up and still helped me after it was all said and done.
I had three convictions on my record that I wanted to get set aside. Matthew is very professional and very knowledgeable!!!!! All three convictions were set aside !!! I will definitely call him again if needed !!!!
Matt did a great job representing me on a couple of occasions. He is very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He is very caring and goes the extra mile for his clients. He got the best outcome possible in my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a defense attorney.
Matthew Antkoviak has helped me through two separate DUI cases. For my first case Mr. Antkoviak was able to get a very serious charge reduced and multiple other charges dropped completely. My second case, years later, Mr. Antkoviak kept me out of jail even though I was looking at up to a one year sentence. Matthew made sure I received the treatment for my alcoholism I needed instead of just jail time and probation. I did not hesitate to hire Mr. Antkoviak as my lawyer not once but twice, and he secured the best possible outcome each time. I was completely satisfied both times Mr. Antkoviak represented me in court. If you are facing DUI charges, or any other legal issues, Mr. Antkoviak is the man you want and need representing you.
Matthew is a excellent lawyer! very understanding and hardworking! I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer!
Matt was an amazing lawyer for my probation violation case. He always answered my phone calls and texts in a timely mannered. Helped ease my mind throughout the entire process. Also was able to work around my schedule. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Matthew Antkoviak represented me recently at a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Allegan County. Because I was unable to afford an attorney the Courts appointed one for me. Thank the Lord for due process, and the well qualified attorney that the Court appointed for me! Rarely will you find an attorney that will take your money and give you what you are paying for. Even more rare is an attorney that will advocate for you, and do his due diligence, without receiving compensation in return. Mathew Antkoviak and his office did just that for me. His office was in constant communication with me throughout the entire process. Matthew personally contacted throughout the entire Court process. He and his office went above and beyond. He listened to what I had to say. He shared his knowledge and showed his wisdom. His opening statement was genius. He asked the witnesses all the correct questions and truly fought on my behalf. His closing argument was a work of art. You can see when someone has a gift and is putting it to Good use. I am beyond grateful for the NOT GUILTY verdict Matthew Antkoviak and his Law Office was able to secure for me at trial!
Matt was not ony a very professional lawyer. He was also a caring and honest person. He fought hard for me and was able to get me case dismissed. I was innocent and scared and this man save my life. God bless you matt
I found myself in need of an attorney at the last minute and Matt Antkoviak did not hesitate to squeeze me into his schedule! He genuinely listened to me, asked questions and worked hard to get my case dismissed, successfully! I highly recommend Matt Antkoviak and if I am ever in need of legal representation again, he will be my first call!
Unfortunately we needed to find an attorney for our 17 year old, so my husband did and Google search and found Mr. Antkoviak. So happy we took a chance and hired him. He was able to get my son's case dismissed. He always responded to our emails and phone calls in a timely manner to ease our minds and answer my millions questions. I would highly recommend Mr. Antkoviak and his office, if you need an attorney, as they provide a variety of different areas of law. Thank you Mr. Antkoviak!
