Outstanding

Mr. Cotton is an outstanding attorney. His reputation speaks for itself. He has created a law firm that is predicated upon the thorough, timely, and efficient care of his clients. He has a pleasant personality and is always professional. I consider myself lucky to be his client.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.

Censure issued in AZ, 2001

updated on 08/26/2015

Censure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State censures the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

John’s comment:

“Partnership Dispute. Stipulated to Censure rather than continue with private litigation where former partner had sued spouse claiming tortious interference with business relationship. Ended issue and threats against spouse by no contest agreement and explanatory censure. Clients had no issues with my integrity- solely former partner who was trying to steal my clients, but failed. I have been appointed to and served on numerous District and Supreme Court Committees.”
