Posted by Greg | June 14, 2014 | Car Accidents

Excellent lawyer, highly recommended

Joe Kotowski represented me in court after I was involved in a traffic accident. Some guy was driving in front of me at less than 5mph so I signaled to pass him on the left, proceeded and he made an illegal u-turn in the middle of the road without a signal so we collided. Both of our insurance compan...ies concluded that he was liable for the accident , yet he still tried to sue me in court. Joe Kotowski helped me in court in an extremely professional and friendly manner. Any question or concern that I had was immediately answered by him and we won the case in court easily. Joe is extremely reliable, knowledgable of the law, and above all he is an honest person. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of any legal assistance.

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.
