Hired attorney , anonymous Dec. 01, 2020

Wat a liar of an attorney. A true back stabber...

I was fighting. Multiple charges face many yrs in prison ... I told him i didnt nothing to say to the state.. He told me his price i pd him 15000..to represent me.... Thank Good i had 3 more attorneys just in case...this mofo tried to set me with the state attorney and lead detective in the state attorneys office by leaving me in the room. With them both and come 10 min later and ask them did they get anything..and after i told him he tried to set me up he then went to the state attorney and told them that they can do whatever they wanted to do with me.. Now this my attorney....when we got in the elevator he say u dnt want rat well i cant help u. Any more...so that should me he tried to set me up after i pd him the whole 15000 .... My other 3 lawyers got in his butt by writing the. Fla bar on him by saying he broke the lawyer client privilege... And they agreed with him i couldnt believe wat i was seeing but they told me thats wat the bar does..they uphold the lawyers dirty or not... So to all if u ever want to hire a bull crapper like him dnt? ...save your money and get a better attorney this guy is a joke that sets clients up With the state and leaves them ..they talk about him in the cells,, this is wat he does... So screw him ..

very professional and caring

I hired John for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, having little hope with such a serious charge. I reached out to a trusted friend who referred John to me, unknowingly this saved my life.
His knowledge and professionalism in handling my case from beginning to end was very strategic and gave me hope. I appreciated his good character and honesty. and the professionalism of his staff was greatly appreciated THANKS GOD BLESS

Seasoned knowledgeable Attorney!

I have personally hired John for two cases and have been exceptionally pleased with both outcomes. He is as knowledgeable as he is personable. If you want to get results and competitive rates, please do yourself the favor and work with the Cotrones. I'd recommend John Cotrone to my closest family.

FELONY WITH NO JAIL TIME!

Mr. Cotrone was very up front and honest with the case at hand. Not only made me feel like a valued client, but he was extremely sincere and aggressive on giving me the absolute best representation. I was looking at years in prison but he was able to prove that redemption with a second chance was still an option. I'm very thankful for his knowledge in the field.

bad lawyer

I hire him, give him the money he requires. He never show in court and thanks to this, I spend a week in jail I hire another lawyer and thanks to him I am at free man. Later Cotrone contact me demanding the rest of his charges for services not render, or he will put me in jail. I denounced him in court for this threats, the judge quickly put him in his place. He is not at ethical lawyer.

Take the money and run.....

I hired John Cotrone to help me during my case, and he did absolutely nothing!!! He just took money and complained. He never said one word in court. I made a deal with the feds to not take any forfeiture and he allowed them to do just that after the fact. If you want to go to prison and just waste your money hire this guy. In closing the feds offered me a reduced sentence a rule 35K and John never perused it and never returned any calls or e-mails, and just let me stay in prison instead of making me come home 1 year early. During my interview he told me to tell them I had a drug problem when I get there and they will give me a year off , the fact is you have to tell them at the interview and he did not know that as well. I spent 16 months in federal prison instead of coming home, thanks to the great John Cotrone.

A Lawyer who knows the system

i retained John for my son many years back. He knew exactly what to do from the beginning and handled the case in the utmost professional manner from day one. I would recommend him to anyone who is in trouble.

The worse Attorney in the State Of Florida

I was charged with having a over due rental car, I tried to fight it because I know deep down inside that the rental car agent made a mistake, this attorney never came out to speak with me to see what we can do to beat this case, he would not answer his phone, and would not let you say a word in court at all, I was sent to prison for (2yrs) and (6) months for a crime that I did not due, and right before I got of prison I get a letter and a check from the rental car compay saying it was a computer error that the car was not over due
