George J. Cotz, Esq.
A Lawyer Who Listens First
George J. Cotz founded his practice on a simple but powerful belief: that every client deserves to be heard, understood, and fiercely represented. After earning his law degree and building his career in New Jersey courts, George chose to focus his practice on the areas of law that touch people most deeply — family matters and workplace rights.
Over the course of his career, George has guided hundreds of clients through some of the most difficult moments of their lives — contentious divorces, custody battles, wrongful terminations, and civil rights violations. He approaches each case not as a transaction, but as a responsibility.
George is admitted to practice in the State of New Jersey and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. He is a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association and the Bergen County Bar Association.
