Winner!

Mr. Lotter did an excellent job on my case. He took the time to explain how the law and the hit-and-run process worked, including the non-criminal side of the case, and kept me informed throughout. He was able to get my case dismissed, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs someone to fight fo...r their rights.

Posted by Mel snyder | December 04, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Amazing!

Jeff handled my case with expertise!!! Whole case dismissed thank you Jeff!!

Posted by Alena | December 01, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Excellent lawyer

I can’t begin to express how much Mr. Lotter has helped my son with his case. He was incredibly responsive and provided excellent service throughout the entire process, ultimately getting my son’s case dismissed. His prices were very reasonable, and he went above and beyond what we expected, all whil...e helping us feel at ease during a stressful time. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal support. Ms. Smiley

Thank you for finding me!

I was in an accident in May '25. I received a citation for failure to yield by an officer that didn't want to cite me but exclaimed he had to or the insurance wouldn't process the claim. Around a week or 2 after the collision, I received a letter from Jeffery Lotter's office on professional stationar...y stating he could represent me in court & do what he could to keep points off my record. I elected to hire him & 6 months later he went to court & had the citation dismissed. I recommend hiring him because nobody else had my back.

Posted by anonymous | July 08, 2025 | Hired Attorney

A lawyer with experience

My lawyer handled my case very efficiently, without judgment, in a timely manner. Thank you so very much Mr. Lotter for a job well done. U are appreciated.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jul 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I'm proud to endorse Jeffery Lotter as a lawyer who is serious about DUI defense. I first met Jeff when he was working as a DUI officer, and we needed help training DUI prosecutors from around the state. Jeff stepped up and was willing to share everything he knew about DUI, which was a tremendous help for all of those lawyers. Now Jeff is working as a DUI defense attorney, so his insider's knowledge from his years on the DUI squad is HUGE advantage for your DUI case. As a member of The National College for DUI Defense, Jeff is committed to DUI defense, and will work hard to help you through this stressful situation. If you've been charged with a Orlando DUI, call Jeff and ask for help, you'll be glad you did."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jan 30

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jeff is an exceptional DUI criminal defense attorney. More importantly, he is a remarkable man of high character and compassion for others. His years of experience as a law enforcement officer with the Orange County Sheriff's Office and Florida Highway Patrol conducting DUI investigations, gives his client's a distinct advantage against the State of Florida in any DUI prosecution. As a young prosecutor in Orange County, I had the privilege of working with Jeff on a DUI case, and saw first-hand how his vast knowledge of DUI allows him to spot issues in a DUI prosecution that most prosecutors, and some experienced criminal defense attorneys, may overlook. Anyone charged with DUI in Florida would be well served with Jeff by his or her side fighting for a fair and just resolution in their case. I wholeheartedly endorse him."

"I have had the honor of working with Jeff on cases in the past. One thing that struck me immediately about him is his knowledge and in-depth understanding of all traffic laws and other criminal principles. If you want someone who has truly seen all sides of a criminal case (former law enforcement officer), this is the attorney for you. I am also proud and honored to call him a fellow attorney and friend."

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jeff and I worked together as Deputies with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. I have seen firsthand his ability to handle challenging situations on the road. Now that he is an attorney, I have seen him bring his problem solving skills into the courtroom. Jeff’s background in law enforcement gives him a tactical advantage in defending criminal cases. Jeff knows exactly what to look for to determine whether the police conducted a thorough investigation or whether there are significant issues with a case. There are few attorneys with the training and experience that Jeff possesses and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking to gain a unique edge on their case."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure to direct Jeff as a witness on a DUI and see him in action as a defense attorney putting that knowledge to work for his clients. He knows more than the cops on your DUI and he's probably trained the cops on your case. He will do a great job for you and your case!"
