2 months agoJovan Dragovic is a great attorney. I hired him for physician contract reviews, and he impressed me with his patience, quick responses, and sharp insights. Iโll definitely be recommending him to my colleagues.

5 months agoI had an excellent experience working with Kotz Sangster. Extremely knowledgeable for M&A work, as well as other areas of law. I would gladly work with Kotz Sangster again!

2 years agoTerrible representation in regards to family law. Not to mention the lack of tracking hours spent on your case not being recorded properly, so they then just add what they would like. Biggest kicker, I hired an attorney who joined their firm half way thru my case and he ended up leaving after a short amount of time. This is then when the firm came after me for a substantial amount of money, no records of my retainer or payments, and pencil whipped hours.
