Case dismissed!

I hired Mr. Jeremy Cotten to assist in my DWLR(revocation due to prior dui) defense. He kept in contact with me via email, and told me exactly what I needed to be done on my end for a positive outcome in court. He had my case continued so I could get things in place to get my license back. And he ca...me in clutch! Case was dismissed! We kept in contact by email, which was amazing for a guy like me who prefers texts and emails. When I'd first contacted Cotten Law Firm, an explained my predicament, they were engaged, they were kind and most importantly knowledgeable. And the rate was a flat fee that was shockingly affordable! It was worth every penny in my opinion. In closing, I would hire Jeremy Cotten again.... although hopefully i never have to, but we're all human, unfortunate things transpire and sometimes our better judgement eludes us... if i ever end up with another ticket Jeremy Cotten is who im going to call!

Efficient, Cost Effective, Gets the Job Done!

Recently had the pleasure of working with Cotten Law Firm, PLLC for a speeding ticket. Had not been issued a citation in almost 30 years and was concerned about the impact of a speeding ticket on my license and insurance. From the start, Anna (Legal Assistant) was professional, communicative, and eff...icient. I had a lot of questions, but she kept me informed throughout the entire process and made sure I understood all my options including not having to be present at court. Thanks to Cotten Law Firm's expertise, my speeding ticket was reduced to improper equipment. I highly recommend Cotten Law Firm, PLLC for anyone in need of legal assistance with a traffic ticket.

Citation

I received a citation for speeding in a work zone back in May during the midst of the pandemic and needed a lawyer fast. A friend of mine from work recommended Mr. Cotten and his team and I have no regrets!! Mr. Cotten knew I did not want points on my license or my insurance to go up and he delivered... in a big way! Thank you Mr. Cotten for your effort and hard work. I would definitely recommend Mr. Cotten and his team to anybody!! They know what they are doing over there!! Great job guys!! Thank you!
