Michael Cotzen’s reviews

Michael is so very informative and takes his time to do his research all explain all of your options, and he ensures his clients the very best results. He helped us settle our case and he even refunded funds in our retainer after all was completed. He’s a phenomenal attorney. He also seems like a very honest and helpful human being overall, and that is a rare find in any field. I highly recommend him.

Michael helped us navigate a tough family dispute, he was thoughtful and understanding with the decisions that we chose, and we never felt pressured to do something that didn't feel right. Michael is thoughtful, knowledgeable, professional, honest, and kind. He is an ethical and principled attorney. Without hesitation, I would recommend Michael to friends, and family, in the future.

Michael Cotzen is a broadly knowledgeable, highly skilled, and super smart attorney. He has advocated effectively for me in a non-litigation but contentious, complicated and delicate family estate matter. Mr. Cotzen has excellent listening and communications skills, and has been reliably responsive to my questions and concerns in a timely way. He is ethical and principled. He also has a sense of humor, and is a caring and trustworthy person. I would recommend him without reservation to my best friends.

A friend/real estate attorney who does not do litigation recommended Michael.

Michael worked quickly and efficiently to negotiate a settlement agreement with a condo association. Among a host of items, the association had many ridiculous repair and demand requests that were not even part of the lawsuit they brought. Michael got them to drop these requests.

He knows his business and knows when to advise his client against taking steps that could waste time and money even when he would benefit financially through billed hours. However, he will listen to your ideas and if they make sense he will discuss them with you and let you know if they should be used.

Michael replaced another attorney who was literally unable to get anything at all accomplished after a year of completely wasting my time. The replaced attorney refunded a portion of his fee.

I found it extremely helpful that Michael was very responsive and honest throughout the entire ordeal.

I highly recommend Michael for any real estate litigation or condo association disputes.

If I end up in a situation where I need to hire an attorney for any area that Michael handles, I would gladly hire him again.

I felt he was honest with my situation and thoroughly explained which ever decision I chose, how the outcome can turn out realistically, good or bad. Was able to convince the other party to settle instead of having to continue this for another year or two in court. Which would have cost me more money out of pocket and also would have hurt the other party because the lawsuit was ridiculous to begin with.

My family could not have asked for a better attorney. We were being personally sued by a giant insurance company (at least they have very funny "progressive" commercials), after the way smaller company we were insured with, denied to pay out an accident claim. But, you get what you pay for. Well, not only did Michael work with us during our time of financial hardship, he negotiated the settlement down to just a fraction of the initial demanded amount. We couldn't have done it without him. Thank you so much for all your help!

We worked with Mr Cotzen for a real estate dispute and it was a great pleasure to work with him. He is always available, we always got a quick response to all our questions, and he gave us the best advice to guide us through the process. Mr. Cotzen is very knowledgeable in his field and has many years of experience. During every interaction we had with him he was very patient, took the time to hear and to clearly explain everything, and gave us the best advice to succeed at our case.

We, without a doubt, would recommend and use Mr. Cotzen if needed in the future
