Best lawyer ever

He was amazing, he handled my case without me ever stepping a foot in court! He was great at communicating with me to update me about my case. He made the process very easy and got all the charges dismissed.

Five Star Review for John Kotzker

John Kotzker is extremely professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. His confidence, demeanor and communication style gave me great confidence that he would take care of everything and he did just that. He did everything he said he would do and the outcome was what he predicted.

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.
