Patti Cotton

Meet Patti, the Director of Operations at AnchorsGordon. Patti has dedicated many years to the company’s success. She passionately supports the firm’s talented lawyers, staff, and clients in a myriad of ways. A proud native of Michigan, Patti was raised in a military family, allowing her to live in diverse and exciting places across the continental United States, Guam, and Spain. Since moving to the Emerald Coast in 1991, she knew she had found her true home. Patti attended Northwest Florida State College and began her legal career as a paralegal at a law firm in Fort Walton Beach before joining the esteemed AnchorsGordon team.

Patti is happily married to JC, an Assistant Principal at a local middle school. Together, Patti, JC, and their two children thrive outdoors, soaking up the sun at the beach and pool, biking through scenic trails, or camping under the stars. Both Patti and JC are passionate about coaching and cheering on their kids as they play soccer, baseball, basketball, football, cross country, and tennis — every game is a new adventure. When she’s not busy supporting her family and career, Patti loves strumming her ukulele and guitar, creating joyful melodies that brighten her days.
