The Best for Traffic Tickets

I had JUST moved and had to appear in court in another state. I contacted John Kotzkers office and they were prompt, and very reasonable with NO hidden fees! They were able to appear in court for me and get my ticket dropped! Highly recommend!

Long Distance Representation

Three months ago, I had a car accident in Raleigh which was entirely my fault. While I have never met John Kotzker, at in person, he represented me well in court. (I live over an hour away) We spoke initially on the phone after many calls to many firms. With his quick response and lower fee, I hired ...John. His requirements were must less than other attorneys, who had forms to fill out, etc. I only had to provide one document from my insurance company and that was it. Continued correspondence was through email. I am thankful for John handling my case with little or no worries about it all going well, which it did. There were no points on my license and now I never really think about the accident at, which is a big relief that after my $500 deductible I can go on with my daily life. (on bit of a tighter budget) John Kotzker did a good job for, even though we've never really met:)

Good for getting DWLR tickets taking care of

My husband went to Mr. Kotzker for some old DWLR from 2007 so he had aquired some FTA charges that can be expensive alone. He got all of the charges dismissed and didn't charge but $425 for everything. It took him a little over a week to get the charges handled. He did keep us some what informed b...ut I had to contact him to find out what was going on. Overall he did what he said he would and for a fair price.

John M Kotzker Review

John M Kotzker is absolutely the ideal attorney for anyone in the Raleigh, NC area. Mr. Kotzker walked me through the legal process and explained exactly what would be done. When I appeared in court Attorney Kotzker and I discussed my case and shortly after he talked with the DA and had my case dismi...ssed. Attorney Kotzker is very trustworthy and will make sure he fights to the end for you. Thank you again for all of your hard work.

Great Lawyer for Traffic Tickets

I hired Mr. Kotzker to handle a few traffic criminal cases and he did exactly what he said he would. However, he actually got me a better result than I expected and I am extremely happy to have my license back. Thank you again Mr. Kotzker.
