Mathews Metyko
Attorney at Law · Founder, The Metyko Law Firm PLLC
Mathews Metyko is a San Antonio trial attorney, U.S. Army veteran, MBA, and serial entrepreneur whose practice is built on a simple premise: clients deserve a lawyer who fights as hard for them as they would fight for themselves.
Before he was an attorney, Mathews served as a commissioned officer in the United States Army, deploying to Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. He led soldiers in combat, made high-stakes decisions under pressure, and earned the trust of the people depending on him. That same mentality — mission focus, personal accountability, refusal to quit — defines how he practices law.

The Business Background That Changes Everything
Mathews didn't go straight from college to law school. Before earning his law degree, he earned an MBA from the University of the Incarnate Word and launched multiple businesses. He has negotiated contracts, managed vendor relationships, dealt with difficult clients, made payroll, and navigated the kind of commercial decisions that determine whether a company survives.
That experience changes how he approaches every case. When he reviews a contract, he's not just looking for legal risk — he's thinking about business risk, leverage, and what the clause actually means in practice. When he's calculating damages in a business dispute, he understands the underlying economics. When he's advising a trucking company on a vendor claim, he's thinking about what the company needs operationally, not just legally.
A Boutique Firm by Design
The Metyko Law Firm is intentionally small. That's not a limitation — it's the point. When you hire Mathews Metyko, you get Mathews Metyko. Not a paralegal. Not a first-year associate. Not a case manager who passes messages. You get a trial attorney with his personal cell phone number who knows your file, answers your calls, and is prepared to take your case to a jury if that's what it takes to get the right result.
Large firms have their place. But for clients who want direct access to their attorney, personal attention, and an advocate who is invested in their outcome — a boutique firm is often the better choice.

Leading a pre-mission brief before combat operations. The discipline, accountability, and mission focus that defined his military service define his legal practice.
