EXCELSIOR!
From the moment I met with Jeff, I knew he was the guy. He listened to every detail, went through all of my paperwork and then couldn't wait to get the other attorney on the phone. Jeff knows protocol, he is one heck of a multi Tasker (crossing every "T" and dotting every "I"). Jeff is prompt in resp...

Total Gentleman!!
I just called Mr. Cotton seeking to obtain an extension of child support payments from my existing Washington support order. Jeff explained that I wasn't able to even file my case in Idaho, and needed to go back through the Washington courts, where unfortunately, Jeff isn't licensed to practice. ...

Very Good
Mr. Cotton is a great lawyer who got me a quick, simple, and favorable divorce. I told him what I wanted, especially that I needed it done quickly. He came through, just like he said when we first met. I will recommend him to anyone who needs for a family law attorney and would use again. Thanks,...

Hey is very helpful an will work hard for you!
"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."
