I had to find a new lawyer midstream on a case that was taking forever and going nowhere because the initial law firm that I had hired failed me due to their lack of conscientiousness and avarice. Michael came onboard and immediately turned things around by digging in and giving the case the attention it needed. He collaborated as appropriate and led the way where necessary. He is a skillful lawyer and has a personable attorney/client manner that was a refreshing change from my previous representation. He diligently moved the case forward and got to a resolution with an intransigent opposition. Michael is that rare combination of a competent and fair attorney who prioritizes his client and gets the work done. He is one of the good ones.

I was lucky to find PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST and they raised my credit from 580 to 801. Also, my parents have no established credit reporting. They went bankrupt like 15 years back. I started planning to help them rebuild their credit. Made them credit karma accounts, my dad’s was not reporting anything on TU but Equifax was showing 563, Experian 549 with one closed account, JCPenny from 1995. Thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for the help, he also helped my parents raise their credit score to over 240 points and he made sure he deleted all negative items on their credit profile. I now have 100k in credit limit and plenty of massive cards that I now use very carefully, don’t miss payment. My parents are now financially safe. Thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for your help! Here is his contact info:

Michael Cotzen is professional, reliable, and knowledgeable. He was responsive and got my case resolved fast. He reached out to me during his vacation and took the time with me to explain the entire process of a lawsuit and explained his approach and why. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants fast and efficient service from someone who deeply knows the law. I can't thank him enough and am happy to have him in my back pocket if I ever need him again!

Michael helped me win a settlement from my former employer who did not want to acknowledge the validity of the agreement they had me sign many years ago. He was able to explain the different approaches we could take, including the pros and cons of each possibility, so that I could make informed decisions. Throughout the process he patiently listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable. My settlement was 6 times the original offer. Never having had to hire an attorney before, I can say that I am happy that the recommendation to hire Mr. Cotzen came my way. I will be sure to recommend him to anyone who is looking for an attorney.

We are extremely happy that we chose Michael to represent us in our case. We were in great hands. I highly recommend Michael!!! He is responsive when needed and won our case !! This is the best you can get

I am so happy I found Mr. Cotzen. Not only was he really good at what he does he was also patient and empathetic. He stepped in and made sure I wasn't taken advantage of and did it with both style and grace...in other words he made the other side step back a minimum of 4 steps if not more! Hopefully I won't need him any time soon but if I do I won't hesitate to call on him again.

Michael quickly guided me to a successful solution. I had been working with another attorney for two years with little communication. The the other attorney abandoned me a put me in a predicament to loose and cost me money. I mentioned my situation in the office and Michael was recommended. He took on the case and quickly turned it around. He pulled me and the case out of the fire, and brought me to a successful solution within several weeks. I do not intend to get into a situation again, and if I am, I would only consider using Michael!

Michael is so very informative and takes his time to do his research all explain all of your options, and he ensures his clients the very best results. He helped us settle our case and he even refunded funds in our retainer after all was completed. He’s a phenomenal attorney. He also seems like a very honest and helpful human being overall, and that is a rare find in any field. I highly recommend him.

Michael helped us navigate a tough family dispute, he was thoughtful and understanding with the decisions that we chose, and we never felt pressured to do something that didn't feel right. Michael is thoughtful, knowledgeable, professional, honest, and kind. He is an ethical and principled attorney. Without hesitation, I would recommend Michael to friends, and family, in the future.

Michael Cotzen is a broadly knowledgeable, highly skilled, and super smart attorney. He has advocated effectively for me in a non-litigation but contentious, complicated and delicate family estate matter. Mr. Cotzen has excellent listening and communications skills, and has been reliably responsive to my questions and concerns in a timely way. He is ethical and principled. He also has a sense of humor, and is a caring and trustworthy person. I would recommend him without reservation to my best friends.

A friend/real estate attorney who does not do litigation recommended Michael. Michael worked quickly and efficiently to negotiate a settlement agreement with a condo association. Among a host of items, the association had many ridiculous repair and demand requests that were not even part of the lawsuit they brought. Michael got them to drop these requests. He knows his business and knows when to advise his client against taking steps that could waste time and money even when he would benefit financially through billed hours. However, he will listen to your ideas and if they make sense he will discuss them with you and let you know if they should be used. Michael replaced another attorney who was literally unable to get anything at all accomplished after a year of completely wasting my time. The replaced attorney refunded a portion of his fee. I found it extremely helpful that Michael was very responsive and honest throughout the entire ordeal. I highly recommend Michael for any real estate litigation or condo association disputes. If I end up in a situation where I need to hire an attorney for any area that Michael handles, I would gladly hire him again.

I am very grateful that Michael Cotzen took on my case and helped me get the desired results. Many other attorneys refused my case because they thought they could not get me the desired results. Michael is thoughtful, knowledgeable, professional, honest, efficient, and communicative. I would recommend Michael to friends, family and clients in the future.
