"There is no better resource than Jeff when it relates to issues involving law enforcement or traffic-related issues. I've picked his brain and experience as to what the specific codes or language used in CAD (police lingo) reports and other issues involving citations. If you are fortunate enough to hire him you are in good hands."
"I worked with Jeff both when he was in law enforcement and then as a lawyer. In both capacities he has impressed me with not only his legal knowledge but how he carries himself in the courtroom. In litigation, both qualities are equally important. Jeff is a great choice and will no doubt work hard for his clients."

"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."
"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. Jeff Lotter has a decade of invaluable experience as a former law enforcement officer, police academy instructor, and DUI Drug Recognition Expert in Central Florida. His advice and insight on my DUI cases and police investigations benefits many of my clients. His experience and training makes him an excellent DUI and criminal defense attorney."

"Jeff is easily the most knowledgeable DUI/DWI attorney I know. I would highly recommend him if you find yourself dealing with this issue."
"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!"
