Cottrell Fletcher & Cottrell PC Pro

Jim Cottrell and John Cottrell became counsel in my case after significant underperformance by my previous attorneys. From the perspective of a client who experienced two separate counsels, the difference was night and day. Unlike my previous counsel, the Cottrell firm made the opposing side look amateurish and ill prepared. They have valuable experience and significant wins in both the Virginia Court of Appeals and the Virginia Supreme Court. When they took me on as a client, it turned my case around and I got back effectively everything I had lost under my previous attorneys. They are always professional, thorough and well prepared. Their briefs are extensively researched and eloquently written. And their courtroom presence is unmatched: powerful and commanding. Before my case was decided in my favor I could not know what the courts would decide, but I never had any doubt that I had the best legal representation that money could buy.

i HAVE KNOW DAVID SINCE 1985. HE WAS A NEW LAWYER THEN. HE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WORKS HARD FOR HIS CLIENTS.

I needed an experienced law firm to represent me in a family law issue. Jim and his partner John met and exceeded my expectations throughout. Their professionalism, clear and concise communication as well as a complete understanding of the applicable Virginia statutes ultimately resulted in a positive and fair resolution of my case. I would highly recommend them as an exceedingly skilled legal team, as well as their staff and paralegals. Everyone I worked with was kind, competent, honest and understanding. They earned my trust and great respect during a challenging set of circumstances.

He handled my divorce with professionalism and kindness towards my feelings. I was very pleased with the actions taken and the outcome.

David and every person I worked with in the Cottrell firm are understanding, compassionate, incredible, and highly professional. David was recommended by a friend who went through a difficult divorce with many challenging legal and personal challenges. I could not be happier to have followed the advice to work with David. There is no one better to deal with ex's who are (dare I say) insane. David's vision and uncompromising moral integrity are second to none.

I cannot say enough good things about the Cottrell firm, how they treat their clients, and the professionalism that the provide in every situation. The entire team that worked on my case, led by David Fletcher, were highly responsive and always put my best interests first. Even when my view differed from theirs, they listened and discussed it in the most professional manner. My interaction with James Cottrell was no different. I feel very fortunate to have worked with the Cottrell firm.

Jim Cottrell is a superior attorney. He has a powerful presence in the courtroom. For family law, he is a leader in his field and his mastery of the law is unmatched. He does not disappoint and works hard to ensure the best results are achieved.

Referred by a psychologist who says that no one can do better than Jim, I have retained Mr. Cottrell for my family matter for years and I am convinced that he is the best. Jim is a very zealous and professional advocate that every client ultimately needs. Jim has solid legal knowledge, extensive experience, thorough analytical capability and excellent judgement, and honest communication. He is also very kindhearted and responsive to me. You will feel the same when you hire him and his firm.

Mr. Cottrell is the Best and worth every penny. Very knowledgeable and quite skilled. You will not be disappointed
