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.

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 lega...l 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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
