Cyrus is a great attorney, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a motivated, intelligent and passionate lawyer. He goes above and beyond, and truly cares about his cases. He's very communicative and straight forward. He has helped me a lot.

Sirous Mahdavi Kotenai's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked against Sirous “Cyrus” Kotenai for many years and have always respected him as a fierce advocate for his clients. He is prepared, honest, a man of his word, and someone who genuinely cares about the people he represents. In more than ten years of practicing law, I have worked with and against countless attorneys, yet I never chose to have a law partner. When the opportunity arose to partner with Cyrus, it was a no-brainer. I had already spent years seeing firsthand his character, work ethic, integrity, and commitment to his clients from the other side of the courtroom. Today, I am proud to call Cyrus my law partner at Betancourt Kotenai PLLC. There are very few attorneys I would trust with my clients, my reputation, and the firm I have spent years building. Cyrus is one of them. I recommend him without hesitation."
