Dispute between Cottrell and his own attorney also appears in the public records of this case. Court records show Cottrell's attorney Joseph J. Dougherty, Esq first resigned as counsel to Cottrell in February 2017 telling the court that Cottrell had outstanding balances for legal bills. The judge granted the attorney's petition to withdraw as counsel on March 27. But by March 31, Dougherty is filing with the same court that he is back as Cottrell's counsel, presumably after getting paid in the interim. Somehow Cottrell finds the money to pay his attorney, but can't collect funds to pay full restitution to his theft victims by the first sentencing date in his criminal theft case.
Also of note, the hearing on motions relating to this blog was not the only reason for Cottrell to be in the Media courthouse on May 30, 2017. In the very same courthouse on the very same day, Cottrell was finally sentenced for criminal theft (Case CP-23-CR-0001749-2016) in a negotiated guilty plea with the Delaware County DA. This is Cottrell's latest conviction in a long record of theft and deceptive business practices crimes in Montgomery, Philadelphia and Delaware Counties in Pennsylvania and independent theft and theft by deception crimes in New Jersey. Vincent Cottrell also uses the names Vincent Edward, Vincent Edward C and Vincent Edward Cottrell III.
This lawyer must not be so bright. Funny, if this lawyer behaved like Vinny does on his construction jobs, he would have demanded 80% of the money in advance and then not showed up for the hearing.
ReplyDeleteVincent Edward C is a man of dignity and respect. It is a character flaw to judge someone on their past. He is the face of Philly's real estate resurgence. You can't judge a man because of his recent and past felonies.
ReplyDeleteIt's a character flaw (and crime) to lie and steal from neighbors.
DeleteReally ? The face of Philly's real estate resurgence? Then Philly is in big trouble. That man should not be trusted.
ReplyDeleteThis has all been a big misunderstanding. Vincent is a class act.
ReplyDeleteNo, Vincent Edward C. is actually a convicted criminal.
DeleteIs this scumbag still in the construction business?
ReplyDeleteYes he is. Check out his project management website. TCG Project Management. More than likely Scamming others in construction.
DeleteClass acts don't have multiple convictions. Good work on this blog and kudos for not backing down.
ReplyDeleteVincent has paid his debt to society. All of these felonies and convictions happened in the past.....not the present! Vince is a family man and he's knows what it means to make an honest living. I heard that he was very apologetic in court and promised never to steal again . He's been convicted and put in prison multiple times but he has changed. He has raised three kids and they haven't been convicted of crimes. When I look at my own son, I tell him that Vince Cottrell should be his role model because he knows the value of a dollar and an honest days work.

Vincent Cottrell is far from a role model for children! A fair and honest man doesn't make threats, steal or lie. He got caught and convicted and he will be caught and convicted again eventually. People like Vincent Cottrell don't change. A scam artist from his days working at Avalon flooring. He should be ashamed of himself. Thanks to this blog for getting the word out and continuing to keep us informed.
DeleteEven scamming his own attorney. Typical Vincent Edward behavior.
ReplyDeleteHis wife more of a scammer than him! Prayers to all who come in contact with theses evil people
ReplyDeleteWonder what their neighbor the Honorable Radano feels living across the street from these thugs
ReplyDeleteAt least his lawyer finally got paid. That's better than customers Gerety and Cottrell ripped off and better than subs who never got paid for work started.
ReplyDeleteThe scam artist changed his name to Vincent Edward . He is CEO of Trend Consulting Group in Philadelphia. Known as MR.EDWARD

ReplyDeleteHow the HELL can people stick up for this guy’s actions?! I mean, SERIOUSLY!! The face of Philly’s real estate resurgence?? I almost spit milk through my nose reading that one!
ReplyDeleteRecommendations for the newly scammed by this guy and his associates?
ReplyDeleteHe struck again??
DeleteAsshole moved out of Drexel Hill
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasure to see Mr.& Mrs. Cottrell out of 1228 Foss Ave . KARMA is bitch!!!
ReplyDeleteForeclosure?
DeleteFoss Ave was levied, everything down to the kitchen cabinets were removed. Greek brothers who own several local pizza shops bought the property out right. There plan is to replace what was taken and resale. LOL Cottrell's house is being flipped. All information can be found in the court dockets.
