KNOWLEDGEABLE, RELIABLE & DEPENDABLE
Bill is of the highest caliber and professionalism when it keeps to legal representation. He knows all the ins and outs of the court systems and the laws that govern. What makes Bill unique is that he is truly invested in his client. He demonstrates this quality through his dedication to your legal solution though action not just words. Additionally, he treats you as an individual and not just another client.

Professional & Straight forward
Bill and his associates are both professional and straight forward. Bill's experience is apparent through his vast knowledge of the law. Cottell Law Firm gives sound advice and follows through the entire process with you. I have worked with Cottrell Law Firm for 2 years now and would not recommend anyone else.

Unhappy Client
Very unhappy with the service provided, I felt he was working for the other side much more than me. He continually added billing after the case was done.
