Dorian Claude Cotlar

We contacted Mr. Cotlar's office because our son was facing some potentially serious criminal charges. Mr. Cotlar scheduled a consultation with us right away. He was very knowledgeable, straightforward and down to earth in his approach with our son. We had no previous experience with the criminal jus...tice system so Mr. Cotlar explained the process and everything that we could expect. From our first consultation we retained Mr. Cotlar without any hesitation. We felt confident that our son would be well represented. Mr. Cotlar and his staff went to work for us immediately. He was very responsive when we had questions, answering messages and texts almost instantly. Thank goodness all turned out well for our son. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a criminal defense attorney I would highly recommend Mr. Cotlar. Thank you Mr. Cotlar and staff for all of your help and support through a very stressful time!

Mr. Cotlar navigated my case and court process with expert skill and great care. He provided detailed guidance during the process and much needed comfort. My case had a very favorable outcome for me, and I believe that this is much thanks to the knowledge, experience, skill and care provided my Mr. C...otlar. I am very grateful.

We highly recommend Attorney Dorian Cotlar if you need assistance with any type of criminal defense case. Upon meeting with Attorney Cotlar in his office we were impressed with his professionalism, and attitude toward our case. We appreciated his honesty about the potential outcome. His integrity ...and empathy was evident. We believe that he handled our case with fidelity.

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.

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.
