I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional work The Cotton Law Firm did on my personal injury case. From the moment I contacted them, they treated me with respect, compassion, and professionalism. They explained everything clearly, kept me updated every step of the way, and truly fought to get the best outcome for me. Eric was amazing—knowledgeable, compassionate, and determined to get me the best result. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a personal injury lawyer.

Although I am not a client of Cotton Law Firm, and I am actually on the receiving end / the "negative" end of the attentions of Attorney Cotton, I wanted to say that he has treated me with respect and dignity and has been extremely helpful in allowing me to resolve my situation. This tells me that anyone who will hire Attorney Cotton in the future will likely be treated well and represented well, therefore I positively endorse him and his firm. It may sound weird to get a positive review from a "defending party", but I thought it was important to write it.

Eric helped me with my accident and injury case from a car wreck earlier this year. He is amazing. He took care of my case quickly and efficiently, and I am so grateful. As I was healing from injuries, he was taking care of all insurance and medical claims. I am so happy with the results from my case. Simply said, Eric is the best. He is professional, has the upmost integrity, and has years of experience in the personal injury field. Do not hesitate to hire him to help you. Thank you Eric!

Eric Cotton was instrumental in helping me navigate my late father's estate, especially since it was an out-of-state probate case. His expertise, patience, and clear communication made what seemed like an overwhelming process much more manageable. Eric truly went above and beyond, providing guidance every step of the way. I can't thank him enough for his professionalism and support during this challenging time. Highly recommend!

I am educated on what happens after you die! Eric will keep you out of probate court so your loved ones can reap the benefits of your hard work, savings & assets. That being said, I am not dead yet! Time will tell what happens upon my departure from this world. What we can do is only hope we made a wise decision because of a wise advocate. Thank you Eric & God Bless you & your family.

I hired Erick Cotton to take on a jail case and he did with no fear whatsoever. Eric has truly been God sent, I say this because he was not my first attorney he was the second attorney I had on this case. After 7 years in the making Eric won this case for me we settled out for $40,000 cash money and I was extremely pleased. I would highly recommend and suggest you hiring this Christian man that is an awesome attorney and really cares about his clients and will put up a fight for you, so if you want your case one and done right hire Eric Cotton law firm sincerely Kimberly clauson

PEOPLE ALSO ASK

Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. At The Cotton Law Firm, your initial consultation is always free, and we only get paid if you do.

After ensuring your safety and receiving medical attention, it’s important to document everything and avoid speaking to insurance companies alone. Contact an attorney right away to protect your rights and maximize your claim.

Yes. If your civil rights were violated — including false arrest or excessive force — you may be entitled to compensation. We pursue justice against law enforcement agencies and hold them accountable for misconduct.

You may be eligible for damages covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and in some cases, punitive damages. Every case is different, and we’ll help assess your full entitlements.

Estate planning protects your family, ensures your wishes are honored, and prevents legal complications. Whether you’re single, married, or a parent, a will or trust gives peace of mind and control over your legacy.

Yes. Even if you have a valid will, your estate will still go through probate in Oklahoma. A will simply tells the court how you want your assets distributed — but it doesn’t avoid the court process itself. Probate ensures the will is legally valid, debts are paid, and property is properly transferred. To avoid probate entirely, you’ll need to use tools like a revocable living trust, joint ownership, or beneficiary designations.

Avoiding probate can save your family time, money, and stress. Probate is a public, court-supervised process that can take months or even years — during which your heirs may not have access to important assets. It also involves legal fees, filing costs, and potential disputes. By avoiding probate through a trust or other strategies, your family can settle your estate quickly, privately, and with fewer legal hurdles.
