I am one of the few people in the position of getting to endorse Tony as both a client and a fellow lawyer. When I got accused of a crime by an over-aggressive DA, there was only one attorney i could call, Tony Cotton. Thanks to Tony, I was never charged with any crime. I know that there are at le...ast two other Attorneys who have called Tony when they got into trouble too and there is a really good reason for that. Tony is in the upper echelon of our profession. His bedside manner is informative and direct, but with the tone of a friend. His courtroom and negotiation presence are convincing and inviting. Oh, and he really knows his stuff, running circles around DA's in legal arguments they never saw coming. If you hire him, its like hiring the A-Team.

Tony handled a particularly challenging case for my family member. She was charged with one of the largest marijuana cases in Wisconsin history. This was exacerbated by the fact that both the Wisconsin Circuit Court and the Eastern District Court were prosecuting her simultaneously. Tony represent...ed her in both matters and was the right lawyer for the job. From the initial consultation all the way through the completion of the case Tony demonstrated his legal knowledge, creativity, and determination to get the best results on her case. Ultimately, he was successful in getting the State case dismissed and the Federal case reduced to time served. I highly recommend Tony to anyone, but especially those with difficult cases who need someone who thoroughly understands criminal law and will fight to ensure the best possible result!

My teenage son was arrested along with a couple of friends for the possession of small amounts of controlled substances. He was lucky enough to get into a deferred prosecution program, the completion of which would have resulted in his charges being dismissed. He got himself kicked out of the program... 2/3 of the way through. Prosecution was going to proceed. A potential felony conviction would have been catastrophic for him due to his immigration status, and devastating for our entire family of five. He would have had no place to go in a country that is now alien to him. We hired Tony to represent my son. He worked out a deal with the prosecutor to give my son a 3rd chance. The requirements were more rigorous than those of the original program, but they were perfectly fair. My son successfully completed them this time, and the charges were officially dismissed. The way Tony handled the case was exemplary. His intelligence, expertise, network, work ethic and responsiveness are amazing. He devised a solution, struck a deal with the prosecutor in no time, introduced us to the people my son had to work with. He was always available to us during the 6-month process, even at the craziest hour of the day, and provided us with reassurance and a peace of mind during the most difficult times of our lives. We felt his presence, that he cared, all the time. Without him, our family would have fallen apart. He is not just a great attorney, but also a role model for us.
