Daniel J Stotter

I have worked with Daniel Stotter on more than 30 FOIA lawsuits during the past 12 years. As the representative for two non-profit organizations, it is my opinion that Mr. Stotter is extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects of FOIA law and is one of the best (if not THE BEST) FOIA attorneys in... the U.S. Mr. Stotter’s professionalism and ethics are beyond reproach. He communicates well and is very organized. Mr. Stotter has never lost a case as our attorney and I highly recommend him.

A big firm in San Francisco recommended Dan Stotter when I'd exhausted all other avenues. I'm a journalist and author by trade, and had a FOIA request that was blatantly ignored by a government agency. I needed help, but lawyers were reluctant to go the distance given that I had limited funds. They a...lso weren't sure that my request rose to the level of the public's need-to-know. Well, Stotter believed in it, and carefully yet forcefully got the government to fulfill its legal obligations. He is forthright, professional, and clear. I highly recommend Daniel Stotter, and while I hope I never have reason to use his services again, I hope others will.

Daniel and his team are exceptional. They have helped me obtain records from the CIA, NSA, and other federal agencies. Those records have featured in both my scholarship and reporting. In addition, Daniel has schooled me in the complex world of FOIA. I still work with Daniel, and I intend to use his ...services for as long as he is in business.

My experience with attorney Mr. Daniel Stotter has been exemplary. His knowledge of the FOIA process in dealing with the U.S. State Department is vast and very detailed. His level of compassion and understanding on a human level is great, as my FOIA concerns the tragic death of my only sister and her... unborn child, in a foreign country. There are many challenges when one files a FOIA request and Mr. Stotter's guidance and legal expertise in this area of law is invaluable. I am very confident with his representation the outcome will be successful. I highly recommend him ! Chaplain Michael Green Former Chaplain, Marine Corps League

If you have a different view to Mr Stotter and you express it, rather than calmly and professionally explain his reasoning, he terminates any agreement to represent you. Personally, I feel like I was saved from making a huge mistake. I will always ask questions and voice my opinions. Mr Stotter doesn...'t like that. He wants to you to shut up, take his advice as God's word, and pay him ridiculous retainer fees.
