Sylvina D Cotto

After 25 years of marriage my ex-wife, an attorney, began divorce proceedings and proposed that we navigate the process without individual representation. I was not comfortable with that suggestion. On the recommendation of another attorney, I hired Ms. Cotto and am extremely pleased with her advocac...y on my behalf. She exhibited compassion while providing straightforward advice relating to the issues that arose in my case. I anticipated an easy, amicable divorce but was grateful for Ms. Cotto's knowledge and expertise when things became more contentious. Sylvina had my best interest in mind at all times. She consistently maintained a professional demeanor with me, my ex-wife, opposing counsel and the Court. Despite a busy schedule that likely included much more complicated cases, Ms. Cotto and her staff (particularly her paralegal, Ms. Reyes) communicated fully and efficiently with me throughout the entire process. If you are considering hiring an attorney for your divorce, a consultation with Ms. Cotto is a superb place to start.

In 2014, I hired Ms. Cotto as my divorce attorney. From my first consultation with Ms. Cotto, she was very respectful, considerate, and genuine. Throughout the process, we met regularly to discuss the details of my case. She was always very patient with my questions and provided me with clear example...s of what to expect. I felt that her experience with similar cases really helped to put me at ease. In addition, her office staff had genuine sympathy for my situation. Ms. Cotto and her office staff worked with me to collect and review all my financial information, prepare and organize my legal documents, and gather the detailed support materials for each of the stages of the divorce proceedings. Throughout the emotionally challenging (and at times very frustrating) legal process, I always felt that Ms. Cotto was thorough, prepared, and confident. I respect Ms. Cotto as a knowledgeable and honorable attorney. I am glad that she was there to represent me.

This was the first time that we had any dealings with the court system and tried to handle it on our own, what a mess. I do not reside in the Scottsdale area and did not know which way to turn, but knew we needed help. Mrs. Cotto came very highly recommended from another attorney who does not even li...ve in the Scottsdale area. From our very first phone conversation we were confident that she had our best interest at heart and would do her best to assist us in this legal matter. Mrs. Cotto's empathy, knowledge and professionalism were such a comfort to both my son and I. She looked at this situation not only as an attorney but also as mother; she put our mind at ease knowing that she understood not only my sons position but mine also. She was such a blessing to our family and we are so grateful that we were referred to Mrs. Cotto and can see why she came so highly recommended. We also would not hesitate to highly recommend her to others who are in need of legal services.
