Dorian Claude Cotlar

Dorian is readily available, a reliable communicator, very well connected and respected in the local legal community among his peers. He gives reassuring advice to his clients that he is able to back up with a professional reputation that reassures his peers that his recommendations are sound. Wheth...er operating in a for-fee or Public Defender capacity Dorian is on-point. My dealings with him were on a private consultation basis and his attention and recommendations were second-to-none. The person who recommended Dorian to me was one of Dorian's PD clients who was facing impossible odds of escaping jail time owing to his record and charge. Thanks to Dorian's experience and reputation, he was able to get the initial offer of several years incarceration reduced to a Community Supervision order and deferment. Nothing short of a miracle. Because of who he is, how he conducts himself, the amount of time he has served the local legal community, he literally gave someone their life back. Can't say anything better than that.

When I met Dorian for the first couple of times he seemed like a nice and good attorney. After I hired him and went to court it seemed as if he was siding with the prosecutor. He was always upset to hear from me and hung up in my face a couple of times. He and I did not see eye to eye. I had to hire ...another attorney to get my case dismissed.

We could not have been more fortunate than to locate Dorian Cotlar. For an indefensible felony offense he secured Probation from the Court with deferred adjudication and later managed to have the probation conditions mitigated favorably. Throughout the course of the case he acted professionally, extr...emely capably, courteous and caring. In my opinion, he went "the extra mile" in representing our deaf son.

Dorian and his team represented me in an unusual case for a situation I found myself in whilst holidaying in Houston from Australia. Dorian and his team presented a very competitive fee and after diligently getting a second quote I made the easy decision to select Dorian to represent me. He exp...lained the whole process very well and guided me through what needed to be achieved. He's incredibly knowledgeable and is very good at explaining himself in what was a very unfamiliar experience to me. He provided a range of outcomes with a best to worst case scenario and eased my anxiety with his confidence and by answering all the questions I had, which were plentiful. With Dorian and his staffs help, we managed to achieve a dismissal which was the best result we could have hoped for. His attitude and personality have resulted in him being noticeably well known and well respected in Houstons legal community. Attributes that no doubt helped when dealing with the states legal representatives. I will soon employ Dorian to get my arrest expunged. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice. His honesty, friendliness and diligent work will be forever appreciated.
