Ticket reduced!

Jeremy's office was quick and responsive to when I called them about a traffic ticket 78/55. They reassured that it's more than likely to be reduced but not 100% because it ultimately depends on the judge's decision. I appreciated the upfront honesty. He also used his best judgment to not get a PJC a...s it would be a last resort and a potential free card in the future. The ticket was reduced to 64/55 with no court appearance and no points on license or insurance increase. I received an update case status about 1 week after the court date and was pleased with the result! Hopefully won't need to, but will choose Jeremy in the future.

Speeding Ticket School Zone

Cotten Law Firm provided me excellent service when I received a speeding ticket in a school zone. It was my 1st speeding ticket and I did not have a clue what I needed to do. They provided me with the forms I needed to sign electronically. After a telephone call I also found out that community serv...ice was required for a speeding ticket in a school zone, and it was suggested if possible to perform the service before the ticket going to court. Jeremy received a continuance in order that the appropriate community service would be complete before going to court. It was a success and there was no points assigned to my license or insurance. Thank you Jeremy!

Don't Speed, Call Jeremy Cotten if you do!

I was told to use a lawyer for a speeding ticket in NC. I received several advertisements but a co-worker recognized Jeremy Cotten's name. Called his office, talked to a professional and knowledgeable women. She assured me Jeremy would handle my case and do the very best to help resolve my issue. I ...paid over the phone and they handled it from there. I didn't have to go to court but was anxious on my court date, they emailed my verdict that day and I was pleased with the results. In case I have to go through something like this again or anything I would definitely call on Jeremy Cotton for his services. Thank you again. Sincerely TG

Picked up the phone on a holiday

I recently spoke with Mr Cotten regarding a speeding ticket I received. He was very helpful in giving me legal advice. He presented me with several scenarios which he had dealt with prior, many of which applied to my situation. He was very honest and forthcoming on what he could or could not do fo...r me. I was impressed that he did pick up his phone on a holiday, on a call from a stranger. Great first impression, I'd say.
