Professional, Attentive, and Genuinely Caring Representation

n a situation of an unfortunate events, we had the privilege to work with Attorney Glen Kotton. He kept in contact with us and made us felt heard. He actually cared which in today’s world is hard to find.

Posted by anonymous | January 05, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Land Use & Zoning

Glen truly cares about his clients.

My case wasn't a normal case. Land ordinances. Rather confusing in the beginning. Once I brought a professional in to one of our conferences, the picture became clearer. My neighbor was my problem. Which brought it to the one ordinance violation. He was very kind and understanding as to why I wasn't... going to settle. Then I decided let's settle. He drew up papers before the settlement conference and I had a hard time pleading guilty to something I didn't do. So back to jury trial. Told me what the outcome could be if I didn't win my trial. Very patient with me. Day of trial I told Glen I was tired of this, been sick with pneumonia and I wanted to be done. He drew up settlement papers and had gotten me approved to appear on zoom do to my illness. The settlement was very fair.

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.
