After a devastating loss in my family, I was looking for someone that would take charge of my situration. My first meeting with "Joe" left me feeling like I had found my man. He quickly had a plan for action and kept me up to date with developments along the way. He was always available to speak with me when I had questions or concerns. He is always upbeat and positive which gave me confidence. As my case took shape, I was amazed to learn of his many connections and deep respect he has gained in and around the Pittsburgh area. He is a true professional and I am so blessed to have met him. I will never forget what he did for my son and I.

I would highly recommend Joe Otto to family, friends and business professionals. Joe delivers the legal expertise on diverse subject matters and provides solutions that work. I have personally witnessed Joe's the ability to patiently understand the legal complaint or business challenge, communicate potential outcomes and support his clients decision. I have never met a finer individual with the expertise and compassion than Joe Otto! I have tremendous respect for Joe and look forward to continuing our relationship.

Mr. Otto met with my wife and me to discuss a major problem we had with repair work done on our car by Midas, Inc. We had taken our car to Midas five times in a row to replace the front ball joints and other parts four times in a year and a half. Our front tires had to be replace four times as well. They finally gave up and the car had become so dangerous that we sold it--an older Jaguar to a friend who worked on cars for very little money. He discovered that Midas had used the wrong sized ball joints each time and had also failed to install another critical part. Our car had been truly dangerous and we barely escaped crashing once into oncoming traffic broadside--all because Midas had installed the wrong part. We also lost our fine car with low mileage. We explained our case to Mr. Otto who was very sympathetic to our situation and he collected all the relevant paperwork and testimonies and pursued Midas with offices out of state. Midas settled with a check that covered the major portion of what we had spent on their failed repairs. We were obviously very appreciative.

I have been so blessed to be introduced to Joe Otto. He is a trustworthy man with great wisdom, knowledge, patience. He always made himself available. I could not have made it through my situation without the Lord putting Joe in my life. Joe thank you so much for all you have done for me and for all the counsel you have given.

Mr. Otto is a trusted advisor who is very knowledgeable. I have known and worked with Mr. Otto for more than eight years. During that time he has always represented my organization with the respect that you would expect from an attorney. He has a wealth of experience that makes him valuable in today's legal environment. Mr. Otto is able to get things accomplished when others may not have been as successful.

I had the pleasure of working with Wilber McCoy 'Joe' Otto over an 8 year period within the context of my role as a risk manager. He was the principal outside counsel who managed the captive insurance program and supervised the litigation and claims for a well known healthcare organization in Washington, DC. I especially appreciate his recent interest and assistance in helping to develop my professional career as a RN Consultant / Risk Manager.
