Excellent Personal Injury Lawyer

Colin represented me after I was in a motor vehicle accident and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Colin was in constant contact with me throughout the settlement process and always quick to respond to my questions. I highly recommended Colin!!!

Extremely pleased that i hired Colin.

Colin wasnt like any other lawyers ive had, he was hands on..every email or phone call etc. i sent to him, he replied back immediately or within the day. As much of a pain as i was, Colin showed how professional and educated he is. He never left me wondering what could happen and he never let me get... my hopes up..he was honest and told it how it was. He put myself and my family first. I couldnt thank him more for having his best interest for my family. Thanks again Colin!

Eric, Thank you for this review! I try my hardest to make sure my clients understand the legal process. The old axiom is true that the wheels of justice move slowly. The process can be very slow and frustrating. Thank you for placing your faith and trust in me. I'm tremendously pleased we were able to achieve a great result for you. I'm even more pleased that I've gained a friend in the process. Stay well; thank you again for this wonderful review! Colin

Awesome attorney!

I promised I would write this for Colin two months ago, but life happens, and often not as one expected, so I apologize that this review is a little late. After a June 2013 car accident in which I was rear-ended, I was not going to pursue legal action, but a friend convinced me to contact a lawyer, a...nd I'm glad I did. I chose Colin's firm because of their good reputation within our community, and Colin proved that to be true. He made me feel welcome from the moment we met, listened to what happened, and provided legal advice with no pressure to hire. I did decide to hire Colin, and over our 20-month relationship he was thoughtful, caring, respectful, dependable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. He worked hard to ensure that I received a fair settlement and always kept me apprised of the next steps in the process. We had an open and honest dialogue and he was forthcoming with new information so I was never in the dark. I would highly recommend Colin for any legal counsel. Should the need arise, I know which firm I will return to in the future. Thank you, Colin!!!

Top Notch Representation

I would give my highest recommendation for Attorney Colin Mahon as he recently handled my Social Security Disability Case which resulted in a favorable decision for my family and I. Before seeking his services I was extremely overwhelmed with the uncertainty of the legal process but this was met wi...th Attorney Colin's assurances, clear expertise in his field, timeliness in both sending and receiving all communications, the most noteworthy of skills in handling every aspect of the case from beginning to conclusion, and a great overall demonstration of professional proficiency...ALL of which was most welcomed and truly appreciated in a time of great personal difficulty. I feel especially grateful that should the need arise for legal services of any kind in the future we now have a lawyer that we would not hesitate in contacting who could again meet and surpass all expectations.

Brian, Thank you for the incredibly kind words! It was a pleasure fighting for your legal rights! Thank you for placing your faith and confidence in me and, of course, for writing such a wonderful review.

Compassionate professional

Attorney Mahon is exactly as described here in his profile on AVVO. Though my case does not warrant his representation at this time, he still spent a lengthy amount of time intently listening to my story, explaining the process I would be going through, and answering all of my questions. I found At...torney Mahon to be a curteous, caring, compassionate, and trustworthy professional who is well-versed in his field of law. Should the need for legal services in his area of expertise arise in the future, I will most assuredly follow up with this attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
