No One Like John Cotton!!!

I was a single mom of three boys wen I slipped on ice and shattered my wrist, and had to have surgery. Not able to work for a few months, and hospital bills, plus general monthly expenses where adding up fast. John and his staff went out of their way to help me get my clam filed and settled fast ...as they could. They return your phone calls right away, and always kept in touch with me to let me know what was going on. John Cotton and his staff are truly AMAZING people!!!!

Great law firm!!

I hired Cotton Law after suffering injuries in an automobile accident. My own insurance company was not forthcoming in what would happen or how the process would go, and after months of getting the run around I made an appointment with John. Cotton Law’s entire staff is very welcoming and down to e...arth. They took the time to answer all my questions and explained how the process would go and what to expect. They were prompt, and honest with me while working diligently to get my case settled! I have and will continue to refer this law firm to anyone needing an attorney!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
