TESTIMONIALS

John guided me from start to finish, presenting me with all possibilities to get through the process as painlessly as possible. He was highly professional and knowledgeable. The assistance I received from him was excellence. Any minor issues that came up was dealt with quickly and to my best interest. The entire process was explained in detail and I received prompt replies to my emails and phone calls. He does go above and beyond for his clients.

We cannot say enough about the professionalism and dedication of John Botti as our attorney. He followed through on every pains-taking detail of our law suit and successfully fought a very large corporation on our behalf. To the end that we were successful in our claim and received a substantial settlement. We highly recommend that you HIRE JOHN BOTTI. HE WILL WIN YOUR CASE!

Mike Botti is hands down the best attorney I know. I’ve been represented by him during my divorce, for traffic issues, and for a criminal case that could have landed me in jail for many, many years. In 3 different counties for each. This man has probably been to court for me 50 times and he has never once been late or not shown up. And his fees are not unaffordable by any means. I recommend him to anyone I can because he really does have his clients best interest in mind.

I’ve used this firm on multiple occasions both civil and criminal. They have always advised properly and the end result always played well for me, and I’m just not lucky even though I own a horseshoe. When at the table choose Botti law firm as the play.

John is very persistent, trustworthy and hardworking. He got the results I wanted.

I was fortunate to secure the services of John Botti to facilitate my divorce. I would recommend him for his honest, patient counsel.

Not a day goes by when I don’t express how grateful I am for everyone at Botti Law Firm.

Our family has been so thankful to have Mike Botti as our lawyer. We have been using him for many years for all of our legal matters. He is always so professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. He is someone we can depend on and trust. Mike will put in the extra time to explain and counsel us when we need it, and never makes us feel like we are rushed. We would recommend his services to anyone looking for an excellent and honest lawyer. We will continue using him for any future needs.
