Dorian Claude Cotlar

Dorian is a true hearted and honest man. He just happened to the last lawyer available for my case in the court room. The judge asked if he'd take it and did! Dorian seemingly caught a raw deal in retrospect. But he fought for every inch that he helped me with, financially as well. I listened and tru...sted him. Did everything he asked of me and he made the impossible, possible! He worked for me harder than any court appointed ever would. He sees no difference between a client who pays or an appointed client. I have to click hired on this review so that I can post it. He was a appointed to me by the courts. Don't speak ill will of this man. He's the epitome of a man. Don't sell him short or doubt, just listen.

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.

I am very satisfied with Dorian's representation of my teenage boys when they needed legal services. He was very responsive, explained the law clearly, engaged my boys in a very straightforward manner, and ultimately the outcome of their cases was very favorable under the circumstances. His fees wer...e fair and reasonable, and his knowledge of the inner-workings of the DA's office was very helpful, having worked for the DA's office himself. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again or recommend him.

Dorian and his firm are excellent for the following specific reasons: - No false promises: They explain legal status and implications. - They are great with communication. I reached Dorian even when he was on vacation. - They are always present and on time. - I have confidence in their experienc...e because of the results they produce. I had two cases involving alcohol. They rightfully dismissed both cases and cleared my record. Dorian, Austen and their staff have always been respectful and professional. They deserve every penny.

Mr. Cotlar was assigned as my child's court appointed lawyer last Sept 2013, he handled the case just as a hired lawyer would have done. Once the case was complete and mind you he handled it same day and attained my child's release that very day. Mr. Cotlar had passed his business cards to myself an...d my husband that day before we left the courthouse... And thank goodness he had as two months later, unfortunately this same child was in need of a lawyer. After 8 hours of phone calls to various law offices and fees for services so high that I was not gonna be able to help my child, my husband remembered Mr. Cotlar and the pleasant, quick, and helpful services he had provided just two months prior. We dug for that business card and called, (hang on to those little cards, even in this high tech world those cards provide one thing the web doesn't, the name) we couldn't remember his name but found the card! We called him and explained who we were, and to my surprise, he remembered my child's case after only one visit to court (and had not been paid to remember)! I explained our new case and he was impressed that we remembered him and provided us a very fair and affordable rate considering the other rates I had been receiving all day! Once again, Mr. Cotlar to the rescue, with three new charges pending he worked diligently to attain my child a wonderful deal that my child couldn't refuse based on original charges filed. He provided wonderful communication and feedback concerning the cases as they progressed. He communicated by text messaging, phone calls, and emails, always keeping us in the loop of what was going on. I would recommend him for services if you find yourself in need of an attorney! He sure saved our family! Just hang on to those little business cards as you never know when you might actually need one that provides a name such as Mr. Cotlar's name! Thank you Mr. Cotlar, whereby I hope I do not need any other criminal services I will hang on to your card just in case!
