“Mick was an exceptional lawyer and great friend. I felt he did everything within his power to provide a great service that I was in desperate need of. He helped me in all aspects I was required to do and will be forever grateful for the exceptional service he provided. Thank you, Mick, for your help.” - Dylan

“I recently went to trial with Mr. Waterkotte and he won a ‘not guilty” verdict for me. The alleged offense was completely bogus. The prosecuting attorney came to us twice with two different deals. I refused. Their case was weak but it had to be tried by someone with experience and know how to get the job done. When you are sitting in trial all kinds of thoughts enter your mind, and you’re constantly saying to yourself: oh, ask this question, bring up that point, etc. With Mr. Waterkotte, every time one of those thoughts entered my mind he was already on top of it and driving the point home better than I ever thought it could be. Mr. Waterkotte was sharp as a tack. I will never use another lawyer for anything, he has earned my business for life. If you are looking for a lawyer, I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Waterkotte. I simply could have not been more happy with his performance. I was amazed. This has been the best experience I have ever had with a lawyer and the legal system, and I owe it to Mr. Waterkotte.” - Matt
