Gregg N Cotler

I am the founder and President of a regional healthcare company. One day in the mail I received a letter from an attorney who was a partner in one of the large firms in Philadelphia. The letter stated that I was being put on notice of an emergency meeting of the board of directors of my company and... that one of the primary issues for the agenda was to vote me out as the President and to present offers to buy my equity interest in the Company and if I refused their "generous" offer, they would be seeking to strip me of my ownership interest altogether. I knew only a few attorneys in and around Philadelphia. One of the attorneys that I knew was Gregg Cotler. He is known in the community as being one of the most intelligent and hard working professionals, however, because of that, he is also known as one of the busiest lawyers around. And, because I was sure that the only way I had a shot at winning was to hire a fully dedicated and focused attorney who could give my case the time that was required, I was not sure whether Mr. Cotler was going to be able to help me. So, when I met with him, I made it clear that I would only hire him if I was adequately assured that he would give my case the attention that was needed. After we got that out of the way, and within one week of of Mr. Cotler's representation of me, he presented me with a detailed written plan and strategy for winning my case. For people reading this review, all I can tell you is that the plan was brilliant. Mr. Cotler had really listened to my take of the problems within the partnership, he listened to my opinion regarding the personalities involved, and about the value of my Company. He had devised a plan of not only thwarting the unfriendly takeover bid by two of my partners, but in addition, he established a road map to remove them as officers and directors of the Company and to strip them of any ownership. Within weeks Mr. Cotler had filed several pleadings, including a Complaint, TRO package, Motions and Discovery. After the first major hearing, the tide began to turn and we never looked back from there. We won and I have to sincerely state that Gregg Cotler was perfect. The only rating that I gave him above that was short of Excellent was that he was so busy at times that I did not hear from him as often as I would have liked. However, to be fair, I wanted to talk to him about my case on the hour every hour of every day. I hope that this review has been helpful.
