Caring and skilled

Mr. Daniel Cota is both skilled and caring. The skilled part is more common, the caring part means that he cares about his clients and that is why he wins so many cases and is one of the best attorneys around. I highly recommend him.

Posted by NL | August 04, 2014 | Child Abuse

Outstanding Lawyer

I reached out to Mr.Cota to assist with the removal of my name from the DOJ child abuse index. My experience with Mr. Cota was excellent to say the least. He is very knowledgable, very prompt, continuously updates you, and is very professional. Not only did he get a decision rendered in my favor b...ut he earned my trust. I never doubted he could not get the job done. I am very pleased with him and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer to resolve pending litigations.

"Daniel Cota is a great attorney who works hard in whatever case he handles. His concern for his cases, and his clients, drives Mr. Cota and he seeks the best resolution for his clients. I remember one time receiving a phone call from Mr. Cota from a hospital bed where he was half unconscious asking if I could handle an appearance for him. His secretary and I had already spoken about it and had it handled but his strong work ethic and desire to not let down a client really showed that day. I would definitely recommend Mr. Cota to anyone seeking his services."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
