Great Lawyer !!

I contacted Michael because my Father's international Insurance did not want to pay a cent for my father's treatment. Also they did not even want to cover any kind of medical consultation or minor procedures to the patient. Since my father was very ill, we did not have much time, and some swift legal action needed to be done in order to push the Insurance to respect the patient's agreement. Though this case was complicating when finding evidences, Michael's letter was strong enough to make the insurance put my father back in the Hospital quickly ! I appreciate his effort in avoiding court, since that would have been expensive and would have taken time - and time is what we did not have...

Best lawyer! Honest, reliable and thorough!!

I had to split from my partner and Michael was very thorough when it came to looking at every angle so that we had everything covered. I had a lawyer before that who was just billing me and trying to drag the case on. Michael helped me get what I wanted and told me what my options were if plan A doesn't work. He thought of everything possible in worst case scenarios. I would hire him for any case and if it's not his area he would definitely refer you to someone good. I HIGHLY recommend him!!!

Very happy with my lawyer

I will start by saying that had just about given up on finding a lawyer I could actually feel confident that he was really looking out for my best interest not his. I met Michael by chance though a friend that had read an article in the newspaper describing a very similar situation I was in and how the lawyer had won the case. I called the office he was working with at the time and got an appointment for the next day to talk to them about my foreclosure problem. I met Michael at that meeting and was told he had handled the greater part of that particular case and how good he was at litigations and specially foreclosures, I was in immediately! We began to work on my paperwork and shortly after that I was notified that faced a choice between leaving my case in the hands of the company he had separated from or hire him only. I didn't have to give it a second thought, I made my decision to stay with Michael since I had already been working with him and knew that he was genuinely trying everything within the law to help me. I have and will always highly recommend his service's. Michael is a very professional man who loves to do his work the right way and looks out for his clients.

BEST LAWYER!!

The most kind, honest, patient, calm, and think on his toes lawyer. He thinks outside the box because he thinks of every scenario so that you are prepared for the worst and best case scenarios. He respects what you want and gives you his opinion if you ask, but he definitely tries to achieve the clients goals and not what he wants to do. That is what makes him so exceptional. Most lawyers will do what they want, and forget they were hired to achieve what the client wants. He is such an excellent lawyer that we will keep him as our go to lawyer for every need.

A must hire!

Mr. Cotzen is first and foremost a professional which is hard to find these days in this profession. He is also humble enough to be open minded. He is an expert in what he knows and becomes an expert in what he does not know. He has the ability to not only write clearly and compellingly but argues that way as well.

Great results

Mr. Cotzen was quiet meticulous planning the best strategy for my case. His preparedness for possible requests and position from the opposite counsel was remarkable; it showed the level of research and dedication that I was expecting on a case like this. The outcome of my case was excellent and I will retain him again for another real estate case. Lastly, I was timely informed about every step of process. I strongly recommend him.

Well above the rest

Mr. Cotzen is currently representing me in three different legal matters including litigation, probate, and complex real estate transaction. My professional association with him is longstanding and ongoing. I am very pleased with him because he has everything I for one, would want and need in a good lawyer. He's honest, knowledgeable, meticulous and clever. Talented litigator, he's comfortable, well prepared and always in full control of himself in the courtroom facing judge and opposing counsel. Most importantly, he seems like someone who actually enjoys what he does and that makes him good at it. That's what gets results and results is ultimately why we hire lawyers. That is why I hire Mr. Cotzen.

Nice person to deal with & remarkable professional.

Hired for a couple of tenant/landlord disputes. It is our impression that this attorney is knowledgeable, responsive, friendly, accessible, understanding, professional, perceptive, intelligent, polite, and communicative - all very important aspects to consider for top quality representation. Outcome of current case has not been determined as of yet - but we are pleased thus far and would highly recommend for hire.

Needless to say, we are very pleased with the result and grateful to Mr. Cotzen for all the excellent work he did on our behalf. He has been very patient, informative and professional throughout the process.

Brilliant legal mind!!!

Mr. Cotzen is a class act, professional, caring, and a brilliant legal mind. He truly cares about helping his clients and goes above and beyond for them.

Michael Cotzen “For the People”

I was referred to Michael from my younger brother who is also an attorney. My case was Labor related. Michael handled 2 cases for me over a 3 year window. Settlements were reached in both. Michael was respectful, professional and responsive. He was always available to take my calls or reponded to my emails and texts. His calm demeanor, patience and understanding of my goals allowed me to relax knowing my interests were #1. If you are looking for someone who will represent your interests before their own. Call Michael! He will work hard and smart on your behalf.

An excellent and honest Lawyer

I had an issue with my employers where they tried to screw me over. I got in touch with Mr Cotzen and after hearing me out, told me what needed to be done and mapped out a strategy. He not only followed the strategy but he also sought my opinion and explained the pros and cons. He looked out for my best interest and I was happy with the outcome. Mr Cotzen is the man you want with you when you find yourself in a "fox hole".

integrity and honesty - key qualities

Had an unfortunate situation, and needed legal advise and someone to represent me in the US. as a foreigner, i needed some honest advise and someone i could rely on. Mr Cotzen was a combination of both. Of course, it all paid of and we did get what we wanted.

Foreclosure and Litigation

Today, it's very difficult to find an excellent lawyer like Mr. Cotzen. He is very professional and has the best service in town. Always take my cases very personal and replay all my emails and phone calls immediately. You do not have to worry with his price, it's always reasonable. He has been helping me so much that I definitely recommended his practice.

Highly Recommended Attorney

Michael was a referral from my personal lawyer for a dispute case in Florida, and I am really thankful he took our case. He was supportive, thorough and incredibly accurate! I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law and his ability to put it in terms I could understand. He wrote a lawsuit that was quickly accepted and eventually settled successfully! The case was ready to go to depositions, he clearly explained the process and positioned to win. The counter lawyers found the case better for settlement. I feel the deal was handled correctly and the years-long dispute was settled in good favor. Michael demonstrated he is a solid lawyer.

My David versus Goliath

Michael represented me in a dispute with my former real estate company regarding brokerage commissions owed to me. Despite the fact that the target of my dispute was represented by an attorney of esteemed reputation, Michael was able to persuade him of the merits of my complaint & worked out a settlement in the SIX FIGURES !! Bravo, Michael, Your sling shot was right on target !!

Michael Cotzen

For years, I have been working with Baker&Mckenzie, Greemberg Traurig, Freshfield (NY) and some other top (and expensive) legals firms in NY and Miami. Mr. Cotzen is an excellent advisor, completing work in a timely manner with the utmost attention to detail. He is efficient (does not incur needless steps or fees) and resolutory. Thanks to Mr. Cotzen´s work I have won each and every case we have fought together for the last five years. He was always there, despite the fact that I was not his most important client. He had the patience to talk to me and change my attitude towards a legal strategy that would benefit my pocket the most, rather than directing me towards one where my ego would be happy and my pocket empty. Mr. Cotzen is and excellent person and I know that every step he takes is to help me and make sure that I do not spend with a legal advisor more time or money than the minimun needed. I highly recommend Mr. Cotzen to fight for anyone´s interest.

Amazingly experienced, totally honest and hard working.

After hiring four different attorney firms, I realized that many attorneys will just take your money and are not able to even help.....THEN... we finally found Michael!! Michael Cotzen is the most honest and hard working attorney I've ever had the pleasure of hiring. We have worked with many attorney's in our business, and many were not honest and not thorough, Mr. Cotzen is not only totally honest and straight forward, he is the best attorney at trial because he goes above and beyond in being prepared for trial. He considers every angle of your case, and finds a unique and personal approach. He is outstanding when in court and is quick, prepared and determined. I am beyond impressed with Mr. Cotzen's law experience and dedication to his clients. I have and will continue to recommend him to our close family and friends, because I truly believe in his dedication to his practice.

Michael is our MUST-GO-TO attorney for all our legal needs. He is excellent.

To be honest, we have dealt with a handful of attorneys in the past and we had lost all faith in lawyers UNTIL we met Michael. Michael is definitely one in a million and we are so very happy to have found him. He has shown to be an honest attorney who actually cares not only about your case, but about you as an individual. He is very straight forward and keeps you informed throughout the whole case. He answers promptly to all your phone calls and emails. He is very conscious about your budget, very professional and extremely patient with clients who, like us, get nervous and ask a thousand questions! Michael has already helped us in quite a few cases SAVING US THOUSANDS of dollars with his outside-of-the-box brilliant thinking, solutions and negotiating skills. He is truly an incredible attorney. He has become our must-go-to attorney for all of our cases and inquiries. We highly recommend Michael Cotzen for your legal needs.

Michael is extremely knowledgeable about the law and has a wonderful way of dealing with his clients due to his professional, patient, and honest manner. He always returns calls or emails promptly, and is very experienced at handling challenging cases. I've dealt with other lawyers before, but I have never felt more comfortable or confident about the lawyer representing me as I do with Michael. I highly recommend Michael to anyone that is looking for an experienced and dedicated lawyer that you can trust.

Very Knowledgeable and Personable.

Mr. Cotzen has helped me in 3 cases so far and I must say that one great thing about dealing with someone that owns the firm is that you always get personable treatment and fast response. He will tell you what he can or cannot do rather than lie to you for fees and he is very honest. I would definitely recommend him if you are in need of a lawyer.
