Traffic ticket

After receiving a speeding ticket I received a dozen solicitations in the mail from lawyers want to help. I contacted Jeremy and his associate was very knowledgeable and helpful. She gave me specific instructions and told me exactly how my case would be handled. Jeremy phoned me after my ticket wa...s handled and did exactly what he said he would do. I would recommend him highly.

Speeding Ticket - Happy I Chose Jeremy!

I received a hefty speeding ticket in Apex last month at the worst possible time in my life! Jeremy Cotten and his staff were more than helpful to me regarding my case and I know countless others as well (I received a referral from a friend and decided to put my faith in his hands based off of her po...sitive experience). The outcome was more than perfect considering what I could have been faced with. He did an excellent job representing me and I was more than happy with the low cost of his service compared to other firms. I wouldn't hesitate to give his office a call if you need quality representation! I would recommend calling instead of looking it up the website to get a more accurate description for your personal case- you won't be disappointed!

Speeding charge reduced

My charge was speeding 40 in a 25. I received a phone call from one of Mr. Cotten's associates. She explained ahead of time what could be done . Mr. Cotten was able to reduce the charge to 34 in a 25 for a very small fee. I received an email promptly from Mr. Cotten informing me of the outcome of my ...case which made me happy. I did not have to appear in court. I will definately choose Jeremy Cotten again for legal matters.

Great Experience using Cotten Law Firm

I contacted Cotten Law after receiving a speeding ticket and got an immediate response from the office. The woman I spoke with on the phone was SO nice and explained everything to me, I am young and was not sure how to proceed and what to do next with my ticket, but speaking with her clarified my nex...t steps and the options I had. My case was handled efficiently and I got the results I wanted. Mr. Cotten was very communicative with me over email, something I greatly appreciated, and kept me up to date on the status of things. He truly seemed interested and wanting to help. I've worked with a different lawyer before, and I did not receive the same level of commitment and consideration Mr. Cotten gave. I would definitely recommend him.

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 !
