Worth Every Penny
We reached out to Jeff during a very stressful time. He was always calm and thoughtful. Jeff provided great insight into the issue and provided excellent advice and guidance. He always made time for us and patiently answered all our questions.

Thanks Jeff!!
I have nothing but good things to say. I switched to Jeffs representation, after being disappointed with my previous lawyer, and it was, by far, the best decision I made for my divorce. His advice and directions made me feel both protected and confident in my representation. He’s knowledgeable, calm,...

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."
