ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!

I relied on Jacie to help with a frivolous neighbor complaint. Jacie was instrumental in getting his claim dismissed. She knows the Court rules inside and out, and strikes a perfect balance between irreverence and respectful disagreement for dealing with ridiculous and frivolous claims. Her pretri...al insights were invaluable, and her conduct during the hearing impressive. My neighbor's seasoned attorney had 15+ years more litigation experience than Jacie, but she danced circles around him, eliciting critical testimony from both the plaintiff and his witness. I am a senior-level attorney, and so am familiar with the various skills and competencies that fellow lawyers share -- Jacie is among the best. I first met Jacie in connection with a relative's criminal case (which she resolved favorably, without any record), and she impressed me then, as she impressed me now. I would not hesitate to hire her again should the need arise.

Very happy with Jacie

I hired Schill Law Group to defend against a felony charge. Jacie Cotterell was easy to talk to and worked quickly to get the charge dismissed. This was after another attorney at another law firm had quit on me when I refused to take a plea bargain that was no bargain. It matters who you hire, I reco...mmend Jacie at Schill Law.

Best Lawyer in AZ

Jacie is a hell of a woman and an even better attorney. She has taken on all of our cases with no issue, headstrong, vigilant, and a fighter! We fell in love with the security she has provided with both myself and my significant other. Through each case she has given us hope, and a chance at renewal ...within our lives. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, we are so happy to have been able to retain you as our lawyer. We would never go to anyone else. We retained her as our criminal defense lawyer more than once, and the outcome has been more than we could have asked for. Schill Law has an absolute GODSEND and BULLDOG on their team. She is by far the best one here. If you need someone on your team, it should be JACIE. We love you, woman! -Savannah and Anthony

Best Lawyer Ever

Very knowledgeable, tenacious bulldog. By far the best attorney, very understanding and gets the job done. Won my dui case and had my license suspension from Mvd overturned. This attorney is brilliant and controls the room upon entry. I HIGHLY recommend Jacie to everyone who needs an attorney.
