Matthew Palentchar

When Matthew Palentchar grew up in Colonia, NJ, he played sports like baseball, basketball, football and soccer, he probably didn’t know where his career would go. These days, his law career has made him into a very accomplished lawyer with more than a decade of experience under his belt. He has a lot of education; following high school, Matt earned a B.A. in political science from Rutgers University-New Brunswick and then a law degree from Ohio Northern University.

When he finished law school, Matthew moved to Florida and passed the bar exam, at which point he began his law career with a general practice law firm in Naples, Florida, where he practiced in real estate, estate planning, civil, criminal and business law. Before long, however, he went off on his own and formed Matthew G. Palentchar, Esq., P.A., which he ran from 2005 through 2010. These days, he runs a new firm, Matthew G. Palentchar, PLLC in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he focuses on real estate transactions and property law. He does a lot of routine real estate work, like title searches, title exams, and issuing title insurance for residential and commercial closings, but Matt Palentchar has also represented hundreds of lenders, purchasers and sellers in complex commercial transactions.
