Best attorney!

Kyle Cottner is hands down the BEST attorney we have had! My children and I were rear ended at a red light about a year ago! Kyle Cottner took care of us every step of the way. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns that we had. What is most impressive, is he genuinely cares- as ...he would check in with us various times throughout the process. He made sure that each member of my family received what we deserved! We would choose Kyle in the future to represent us, without hesitation. Thank you!

PERSONAL INJURY HELP WAS FABULOUS!

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.

An Honest Lawyer...No, Really!

I’ve always used Craig P Kenny for traffic cases, so when I was involved in a gnarly hit-&-run, I knew I would use that firm, but Kyle was also recommended to me by his own mother thru Facebook. Kyle was honest and upfront from the start, combing every detail of my case and breaking down what would w...ork in my favor and what may not. No wild promises, no sleazy “ambulance chaser” pitches. Just a straightforward guy taking the law and the nature of my accident seriously. He explained from the start that if he did not believe the expenses accrued from my accident would justify a settlement, he would not take the case, nor would he take payment for services leading up to his decision (or the fee would have been super minimal, I honestly don’t remember) Either way I felt confident in his pledge to help my situation and would honor whatever decision he made. Seriously, he was a way better lawyer than I was a client! I was often forgetful or distracted in giving information he asked for, and yet he still got the job done and points he needed (future clients, DONT be me, make the calls he may ask you to make and don’t forget, make his job easier to help YOU!) He has a lovely assistant helping him who is an absolute doll, always patient and friendly. My case dragged out for a little over a year, with Kyle or his assistant reaching out periodically with updates, reassuring me that the delays were in fact bc Kyle wasn’t happy with what the other side would offer, and felt we deserved more. He bit down hard and didn’t let go until he got a satisfactory amount. To which he would promptly call to update AND ask my input or my opinions. In truth, I personally wasn’t looking for a life changing payday, I just wanted justice for the BS an accident that wasn’t my fault had caused. Kyle gave me exactly what I wanted, with a helpful chunk of residual money left over. He’s known around his practice as “The Wizard,” and it’s a perfect description. Originally, bc the ER I went to, as well as my insurance, was being obnoxious about their bill, Kyle told me to negotiate with the ER myself, which I was prepared to do immediately after receiving the settlement check. But when the check was delivered, his assistant informed me that not only was the hospital bill paid, but he had gotten the balance knocked down even further, which gave both him and me more money than I expected. Yayyy! Saved me a trip and a possible afternoon of aggravation. Definitely a nice little surprise. Kyle is truly dedicated to his clients and will work beside you with integrity, humor and honesty. One of the good guys; the lawyer you definitely want in your corner.

Great experience from beginning to end

Kyle and his team did and awesome job in representing me in my case (car accident) they were all friendly and professional. I hope I never have to use them again but if I do he will definitely be my first call. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

"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."
