Jeff is the real world Tom Cruise from “A few good men”
It is exceptionally rare to meet an attorney who TRULY has your interest as a primary objective. My Ex has an innate desire for my destruction. I arrived today feeling like a nameless number on a list that was afterwards mislaid, left feeling invigorated. Chance favors the prepared mind, and Jeffrey ...

Professional and supportive
I was amazed how supportive and professional Jeff was when consulting me of the difficult matter of the potential divorce. He is extremely open and acts in the best interest of a client in every aspect: financial, morale, and emotional.

Kind and helpful
If it wasn’t for his help and clarification on the topics of custody I would be lost. I’m so grateful he took the time to help me. I will absolutely be recommending friends or family to speak with him. I also very much appreciated that he was very honest and clear with me. I wasn’t confused about any...

Exceptional Attorney
I hired Jeff to handle my child custody case. Jeff worked tirelessly. He handled all the details and constantly was looking at every angle to get the desired results. In the end we reached a very positive settlement in my case. Jeff gets it done! I highly recommend him.
Jeffrey Lee Cotton II's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked with across from Jeff for numerous years. He is always timely, considerate and professional. I enjoy working across from Jeff because in all cases, including the difficult ones, he works hard to get things done right."
"He did a great job as opposing counsel. He is young, energetic and cares about his clients' needs."
"Jeffrey got involved late in a very complex divorce and custody battle where I represented one of the parties. Negotiations with the previous attorney had completely stalled and both parties were in a complete standoff. It only took 3 days of working with Jeffrey to get the case back on a track to total resolution. He is an expert in Idaho family law and the process of negotiation. Despite the fact that we represented entirely different interests, I found him to be trustworthy and fair throughout the process. At the end of the day, we were able to negotiate a settlement that both of our clients were happy with. I would rate his honesty, diligence, and legal skills among the top of all lawyers I have worked with throughout my legal career."
"I endorse this lawyer. I went to lawschool with Jeff. He has an active mind that works to find solutions to difficult problems. While I have not had a case with Jeff, I am confident he is an aggressive and capable family law lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jeff was straightforward and focused on addressing the issues in dispute and reaching a fair and reasonable outcome that made sense for our clients given their particular facts and circumstances."
