As one of the founding partners of Kaplan & Cottner in Las Vegas, Nevada, Kyle P. Cottner devotes his practice to the areas of criminal defense, DUI defense and personal injury litigation. He decided to become an attorney after seeing the pain his mother coped with as she recovered from injuries she suffered in a personal injury accident. The drive this experience instilled in Mr. Cottner has helped him to earn a reputation as a tenacious advocate with an unwavering dedication to his clients.
Mr. Cottner earned his Juris Doctor from the Saint Louis University School of Law in 2012. During his time at law school, he gained valuable experience by clerking at a prestigious criminal defense and personal injury law firm. Mr. Cottner was mentored by some of the most respected attorneys in Missouri as he assisted them during jury trials and settlement conferences. After graduating from law school, Mr. Cottner moved to Las Vegas and was admitted to the State Bar of Nevada and licensed to practice law before the state courts of Nevada.
Before becoming a successful trial attorney, Mr. Cottner honed his skills at the Clark County District Attorney’s Office. He was assigned to the office's appellate division, where he successfully argued 10 appeals before the Nevada Supreme Court. As a trial attorney, Mr. Cottner advocated successfully on behalf of his clients in 17 jury trials and more than 100 evidentiary hearings. This track record of success led to Mr. Cottner being invited by the National Criminal Defense College to attend the National Trial Practice Institute at the Mercer University School of Law in Georgia. This is an advanced program that focuses on cross-examination, demonstrative evidence and dynamic case presentation.
