Thank You

I contacted Jeremy only days before I was due in court for a traffic issue. He was able to understand my issue very quickly. He explained exactly how he was going to resolve it. I was able to pay for his services quickly over the phone and he was priced right!!. The best news was, the day after my co...urt date, I was notified that everything went as planned and issue was resolved. Thank you very much and I will refer you when ever the need arises.

The Perfect Law Firm for traffic issues.

Cotten Law Firm represented me in court for a minor traffic violation where my first inclination was to just pay the ticket and be done with it. Thanks to the information sent me about his firm, I responded and hired him to represent me in court. His fee was incredibly reasonable, and I was elated i...n the end that I did hire him. All the information needed from me was provided through phone and internet. No travel to his office unless I requested it. I explained the situation from my point of view and he and his office did all the required ‘leg work’. It was always pleasant and informative to talk to his office. He procured a court decision that saved me any additional costs for insurance and agreed to pay any fines out of the money for his hire if needed. It was not needed. Thanks to him, the outcome was perfect; the ticket and all associated costs were dismissed. No license or insurance points will be assessed. Thank you, Mr. Cotten! He is a must hire for any traffic issues and I will certainly use him again if needed!

Can't imagine anyone better!

Killer lawyer with a heart of gold! He answered his own phone (after hours, and with his baby crying in the backgroud) was so patient with my excessively detailed accounting, and was genuinely reassuring that indeed, I was not going to go to jail.. (Several other lawyers I had spoken with earlier ha...d scared the #*$%^$@ out of me, and given me very incorrect info). The next day I called to be sure I understood correctly, and he was again very patient and warm, re-explained everything he said the day before, and did not make me feel like an annoying little old lady. When the hearing was postponed I thought that meant bad news, and Ashley was also very reassuring and willing to explain details. When i received his prompt notification of the better-than-expected outcome, I hesitantly asked for details and clarifications, expecting at best a perfunctory bullet point answer. And yet despite the verdict being in and his fee paid, I got highly detailed answers to my questions. Thanks Jeremy! A

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
