Victoria Kottman, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 22, 2015
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
I endorse this lawyer. He is competent and caring. He listens to his clients and actually gives advice which they can understand without too much legalese. Additionally, He knows the DWI system inside and out and knows about jury trials specifically in Bexar County. I know he is someone I turn to to discuss the finer points of law due to his unique background in the state and federal systems. As a native San Antonian, he also knows the people of this area and is willing to help anyone, in any way that he can. He is truly a compassionate and thoughtful attorney and individual.
William Troy, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 1, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I knew Aaron to be a formidable foe as a prosecutor and now know him to have a stellar reputation as a defense attorney. I worked against him on many cases when he was a part of the Bexar County DAs office, and always had a great deal of respect for his advocacy and ethics. I am excited that he is carrying these same attributes to the defense bar. He would be a great hire for anyone looking for a defense attorney.
Ryan Boyer, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 22, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer as a former prosecutor with considerable experience. Attorney Eckman is very thorough and effective with insider knowledge of the court system.
