Traffic Accident

My son was in a traffic accident. Our family was under a lot of stress, but hiring Mr. Kotzker was one of the best decisions we made. He was kind, communicated clearly with us through the entire process, and kept the lines of communication open the entire time. My son received the very best possible ...news - case dismissed! We highly recommend Mr. Kotzker!

Accident representation

I had a minor accident where I received a ticket. I was so pleased with the results from this law firm. He was very professional, calmed me down and helped to resolved. Being in an accident is stressful enough, but trying to resolve the court case was enough to send me over the edge. As soon as I... spoke with Mr. Kotzker, I knew I was in good hands. Case dismissed! Couldn’t have ask for anything better. He kept me informed of every step in the process. Very please and would recommend him to anyone!

Very Helpful lawyer

Mr. John helped me in resolving some issues I had because of a car accident. He appeared to the court for me and ask for a dismissal. It is hard to get in touch with him sometimes. The secretary would take your number and said she will call you back, but she actually forgets. You have to keep calli...ng until you receive an email, updating you on the case. Other than that I am very pleased with Mr. John's service.

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:)
