Michael John Coco's Lawyer Endorsements
"I absolutely endorse this lawyer. I served with him on active duty in the Air Force, I appeared in front of him when he was serving as a military trial judge, and I have known him over the years as a military prosecutor and defense counsel. He is an experienced, dedicated, knowledgeable, and zealous advocate who is a credit to his profession."
"I served in the United States Air Force JAG Corps with Mr. Coco for a number of years. He earned an outstanding reputation as a Senior Defense Counsel and as a Military Judge. I defended an Airman facing felony-level charges before Mr. Coco during one of his early cases as a judge. He is extremely knowledgeable in military law and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He is also an all-around stand-up guy. I would trust Mr. Coco to defend me in the event I was facing a court-martial. I highly recommend Attorney Michael Coco."
"Michael Coco was my supervising attorney when I was starting out as a defense counsel. His ability to break down complex cases and keep a cool head in the midst of incredibly stressful situations is an amazing asset to his clients. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Coco and I worked together as prosecutors first. I then defended cases working alongside JAGs who were under his supervision. Last, I worked trials with him when he was a judge. In each facet of trial work, he proved to be brilliant and fair. I have every confidence that anyone represented by him will be richly rewarded."
"I endorse this lawyer- absolutely. i appeared in front of him many times when he was a judge. Calm, reasoned, smart."
"Mr. Coco is at the top of an elite class. I fully endorse him for any military matter. There is no case that he does not stand a chance of winning. He's been a judge, prosecutor and is a legendary military defense counsel."
