The best of the best.

I was on trial for one of the biggest and most unique Drug Conspiracy cases in Wisconsin history. I found Anthony Cotton on AVVO while researching attorney's, he had a rating of 10. I didn't know what to expect from him because he is so young and I thought I needed someone with more seasoning or expe...rience. I am so glad I misjudged him because he saved my life. He fought for over 2 years for my innocence and finally got the charges dismissed at trial after a favorable jury verdict. For the duration of that case he was always available when I had questions and was very thorough and concise. His preparation, knowledge and litigation prowess far exceed his reputation. Tony's exemplary skills as an attorney can never be overstated.

Anthony Cotton is #1

Where should I start, I was being charged with (3rd) OWI, Possession of Paraphernalia, Possession of THC, and Refusal to take test for intoxication. I had so many thoughts going through my head, that I was screwed, I was always worried about the outcome of how this would effect me for the rest of my ...life. It was hard times at that point. I was referred to Anthony Cotton through my brother, it was one of the best decisions I have made to hire Anthony as my lawyer. On first impression when I met Anthony he was right on point, very knowledgeable, and laid out how the process was going to happen. After my first meeting with Anthony I knew he was the right lawyer for me and hired him on the spot. He always showed up to every court date and was always on time. Unlike lawyers in the past where they would send someone from their firm to cover without you knowing, Tony made sure he was there with you through the process, just like holding your hand. I was very impressed how Tony would present himself in court always on point and one step ahead. If you had any questions or concerns you could email or call him if he didn't answer, he would get back to you within a reasonable time. I was very impressed with how well Tony communicated and responded to your needs, he was there to be your friend and to fight for you all at the same time. He would even encourage you to hire a private detective to get all details of what happened that night and get witness statements. The outcome of my case was something I thought would never happen. At the motion hearing, Tony fought for me and was defending me in every accusation which leaded to a dismissal of my case. The officer stated he stopped my vehicle because I was leaving the apartment complex that he was responding to a domestic disturbance. The officer reacted on a hunch, without having any reasonable suspicion to stop my vehicle which is also a unlawful stop. After that was presented Tony fought for me and was able to dismiss all charges. Till this day I still communicate with Tony and he will always be my friend and lawyer. The only encouragement that I could offer you is if you are in a serious bind or don't know where to turn, Anthony will be there for you, he is a fighter, and will back you 100% of the way. I have no regrets!

The ONLY lawyer who phone number I keep

Anthony Cotton was a name I turned too when facing a felony drug conviction and 2 misdemeanors in Waukesha county. I had an officer harassing me at my job to put pressure on me to admit to charges. After I explained my story, Mr Cotton put a stop to all the BS around me and set me on a course to fi...x my life. Together, we built a case to show my recovery and my cooperation and slowly but surely put a stop to the conviction. Waukesha does not have a history of dropping felony convictions, but Anthony Cotton made it possible. At every appearance, he told me what was going on, what I needed to do, and what the outcomes could be. Every phone call and email I sent was replied to within 24 hours. Every motion that Mr Cotton wrote was researched and well written and gave us more ground to stand on every appearance. I trust him, we communicated clearly, he gave me every outcome and every option and recommendation and relayed the information to me always. I have had experience with other lawyers and the service was night and day difference. I recommend Mr Cotton to anyone who needs a great lawyer in Wisconsin. I always keep his card in my Wallet and his phone number saved in my speed dial. I cannot thank him enough for the outcome he got me that saved my jobs, my freedom, and my life.

Thank you

Tony did a great job handling my case. He was able to find a loophole for me that kept me from having to serve any jail time. I appreciate all his hard work.

Committed, educated, reliable...

Attorney Cotton had represented me for a number of years. My particular case was complicated, and flooded with bureaucratic nonsense. Atty. Cotton was committed to getting favorable results, whenever possible. Atty. Cotton effectively took on the WI-DOC and their OLC (Office of Legal Counsel), in a W...rit of Habeas Corpus. Additionally, he was able to convey enough of a threat to make the system comply, resorting to attempting to have the respondent incarcerated for contempt. If there is a situation, and I need an attorney, I would not hesitate to hire Atty. Cotton immediately.
