I have never been sued by anyone in my life. David (and his office staff) was with me every step of the way lending his best advice, thoughts and suggestions along with explaining things in a way I would understand. If you find that you are in need of a lawyer, look no further David will exceed your expectations while understanding and having your back t all times.
A prosecutor friend of mine in Tampa referred me to David Kotler to handle a matter in Miami involving my son. He was responsive, honest, professional and caring towards my son. Any time I had a question I could call or email. He always responded. He provided an honest legal strategy and some options. Although I also work in and around the criminal justice system, David communicated in a way most everyone could follow. I appreciate his handling of the case and would certainly recommend Mr. Kotler to anyone who needed an attorney in South Florida.
David Kotler is an excellent lawyer. He did outstanding work. He was efficient, straightforward, and truly compassionate. He kept my family and me thoroughly informed. I recommend him with the highest approbation. I will recommend him and his firm to all who inquire concerning 'topnotch' legal representation. David was, by far, one of the best lawyers I have known. My family and I are truly thankful for David Kotler. He was a great blessing.
David handled my case with expertise. He kept me informed and always advised on the best options.
did all the things above that I checked off as excellent and more.He phoned me and checked up on how I was. A truly caring human being. not many of that breed left. On a legal note always advised and explained in great detail, very knowledgeable.
I worked with David on a complicated commercial matter. There were a number of attorneys involved but David took the lead. The matter was brought to a successful conclusion because of David's work. He was professional, intelligent and persistent. He made it happen to the benefit of all concerned, including, of course, his client. His work was exceptional.
I was contacted by a DOJ attorney who wanted to "interview me" inregard to some work my firm did for the SBA and the loans later went into foreclosure. My first call was to David. He saw this for the witch hunt it was, explained to me what was going on, what the worse case outcome would be and what we needed to provide. He went to the "interview" with me and kept me calm and he kept the three DOJ attorneys in the meeting from getting the best of me. Afterwards he was the buffer between me and the other attorneys. He spoke to them a few times, had me provde some additional information and effectively shut them down at every turn. He will be the guy I always call first or recommend to anyone that may require legal help.
I have had the privilege to work with David over the years and to watch as he has grown and matured. He is not only highly skilled, but has a depth of judgment that is rare to find. He is a true advocate for his clients yet compassionate about their needs.
From a referral I used David to get my DUI dropped down and he was able to pull off a miracle successfully for both I and the person who referred. David always kept me up to speed on the process, answered my questions honestly and made literally the best possible outcome for me. He saved me thousands of dollars and my reputation. I'm thankful to have found him.
Mr. Kotler is down to earth, knowledgeable, and always up to speed on the case. He gave spot on guidance that stemmed from legal knowledge and professional experience. He always kept us advised as options changed. He represented my wife and I in a criminal traffic matter and did everything he could to make the case as quick and easy on us as possible. He also got a better result that we ever imagined! We went to him on the suggestion of a friend and are so glad we did. We both highly recommend!
