Amazing lawyer and legal team!

I was involved in two car accidents earlier this year. It was my first accident I’ve been in and have never had to go through anything like this before. I reached out and got in touch with Kyle. Let me tell you, I have not felt so comfortable during this type of situation. He explained everything thr...oughout the entire process and made sure I was okay. When I called him about the second accident the first words out of his mouth was of I was okay. He’s an amazing lawyer and if I ever needed another one he’d be it. Thanks Kyle for making this process seamless.

The Car Accident Injury Specialist

Earlier this year my classic street rod 1956 Chevy Pickup truck was hit in an intersection on a sunday. Kyle Cottner had all my info and started on my case less then 24 hours after the accident and had me at the chiropractor the next day. He was on top of the case from the get go and made sure to kee...p me apprised throughout on how it was going. He also would regularly check up on me to make sure I was better, physically & emotionally, since I built the truck when I was 15 and had been driving it 19 years! Kyle Cottner is one damn good attorney and a super solid human being.

For those in need of an amazing attorney Kyle is your guy! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done in my case and for making me feel like my life wasn’t over for making a dumb mistake that I’ve learned from. - Joshua

Super Kyle !!

To me Kyle is nothing less than amazing. You see, My DUI was a rough and complicated one. On our 1st consultation after discussing said complications. I told him that if I lose my license I lose my job and I only had a year and a 1/2 to retire. AND HE LISTENED! At my DMV hearing he caught someth...ing that allowed him to win my case and retain my license. At my criminal trial he got my charges reduced to misdemeanors, no jail time and My sentencing date postponed for one year so I could retire from my job. I will forever be in his debt. In my opinion the only thing missing is a cape.

Amazing!!!

Kyle P. Cottner is an amazing lawyer! I got his information from a coworker and could not have been luckier. After dealing with a shady seeming lawyer prior to getting his info Kyle was a breath of fresh air and made us feel comfortable and welcome. We got to the office and it was so nice and welcomi...ng. My boyfriend was facing prison time on a third DUI and Kyle assured us that he would do everything he could to help us out. He explained all of the ways that it might go up front and told us our best course of action. Right after our first meeting we knew we were in great hands. Another case ended up falsely accusing my boyfriend of destruction to a vehicle and he was able to prove his innocence and keep him out of jail and working until the court case was dismissed. He would have had to sit in jail and miss atleast a months worth of work if we didn’t have Kyle. With that case out of the way and handled he was able to get the dui knocked down to a misdemeanor and and no prison time. That was the best news we could have gotten! Kyle is so down to earth and easy to talk to. He always gets back to us quickly and is always available to answer our questions. I get crazy anxiety and he was able to make me feel more comfortable with the waiting that these cases have entailed. I recommend him to anyone who wants a lawyer who actually cares and has his clients best interests at heart. Thank you for everything, we really do appreciate you!

"I've met many attorney during practice in and out of court. I met Kyle at a Young Lawyers social event hosted by the State Bar years ago and he was so striking when I met him. I told my husband who is also an attorney that I have never met someone (besides my husband of course) at a legal function so full of spark. I asked why he got into law and he was so honest, passionate and seem so dedicated when speaking about his clients. I refer all my criminal matters to him because he cares. There are not many attorneys who speak like Kyle. He is and will continue to be such an asset in the legal community."
