Thanks

Jeremy, I want to thank you and your office for helping me with my recent traffic ticket. I felt informed about my options from the very first phone call when I spoke with your assist. I also want to thank you for taking the time to personally speak with me by phone and answering the follow-up ques...tions that I had. Your personal attention to this "minor" issue made me feel more comfortable hiring your firm than others I had spoken with. Thank you.

Efficient office and great results

Mr. Cotten represented me for a speeding ticket. Everything was handled with 1 call from me and 2 emails. Fees are reasonable and results very satisfactory. Would definitely hire him again.

Speeding Ticket

All it took was one call to Jeremy Cotten. His assistant took all my information and a few days later I got a call from Jeremy. He explained the whole process to me and assured me that he would get the best judgment he could for me. Aside from having to pay a fine and the court costs (which I wo...uld have had to pay no matter how the charge was handled) for a small fee (the smallest fee of any lawyer I have ever had to employ for a traffic violation), Jeremy Cotten handled my whole case. He reviewed my case thoroughly which was speeding (60 mph in a 45 mph zone). He went to court in my place and got the charge dropped to Improper Equipment which has essentially no effect on me for insurance or license purposes and therefore I would not be subject to any increase in insurance based upon the disposition. He paid for all court costs and fines and now the matter is officially resolved. Jeremy Cotten handled my case in the best way possible, getting the best judgment possible and for a very reasonable fee. I would highly recommend Jeremy Cotten if you ever find yourself needing a lawyer for a traffic violation, criminal defense or family planning. I have no doubt he will do a great job for you too !

Traffic Ticket

I received my first speeding ticket (60 MPH in a 45 MPH) and had no idea what I needed to do. I was very close to just paying for the ticket and calling it a day, something I now realize would have been a big mistake. When I contacted Cotten Law, I was able to speak directly to Mr. Cotten (with other... law firms, I spoke to the aides), and he was very patient in answering all my questions and explaining what I could expect next. After our conversation, he told me that I would most likely not hear from him again until after the court date, but I felt very secure in the knowledge that I could call him anytime I had additional questions in the time leading up to the court date. He reduced my charge from speeding to improper equipment at most likely one of the lowest costs in the area (certainly the lowest I could find) and there have been absolutely no increases to my insurance or points added to my license. I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Cotten Law. I don't plan on needing their services again any time soon, but if I ever did, I wouldn't hesitate to call!

I got many referrals in the mail from lawyers when I got my first speeding ticket in NC 6yrs after moving here. I looked up great reviews on Jeremy and picked him! I was very glad I did as he has helped me with two speeding tickets and a ticket I received from an accident I was in that just involved... myself, where he got the ticket dismissed. He has been very kind when speaking to him on the phone. He honestly was very sincere. His assistant, Ashley has always been very friendly on the phone when answering questions I had. HOPEFULLY, I will not need Jeremy again, but if I do, I will not hesitate to call him again. His prices are very reasonable! I highly recommend you call him if in need of a lawyer. Judy H.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
