I've been licensed in Texas since 2001. I spent the beginning of my career in criminal law as an Assistant District Attorney with the Harris County District Attorney's Office. In 2006, I left the DA's Office to go into private practice. Our boutique firm handles all manner of criminal and civil cases. We are a small firm with our primary office in Houston. We treat our clients like family and work very hard on our cases. Our results speak for themselves. I am also Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Step Son
Mr. Cotlar called me immediately and gave us all of my step son's options, did not hide anything from us at all unlike other lawyers I have dealt with in the past. Mr. Cotlar did his best to help, and got my step son off and out of jail, something that we did not expect to happen. Thank you!

I was a little worried that my son wouldn't get fair attorney representation but after reading this, I feel confident Mr. Cotlar will do his very best. If so, any referrals I get will certaintly go to him. I'll post and let you know after the judgement.
