Reviews by Business Professionals:

I have worked with Renee in the recent past when I was an outside consultant for Renee’s company; working directly with her for approximately five years. She is hard working, knowledgeable and diligent in her follow up and communication. Renee worked with all legal aspects of contracts, tax issues and estate plans for high wealth business owners . I found her to be a person of high character and a great pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her and consider her a valuable asset to any team. I would welcome working with her again. Mark Ulishney, CPA, Case Sabatini (2/27/15)

Highly recommended

Renee helped me so much. She understood my complex situation and protected me when possible. Caring and made sure I made decisions that were right for me.

Very dependable

I was driving on a suspended license and thought the worse outcome possible when going in front of the judge. Renee kept in touch with me over the months when in was rescheduled numerous times. When we finally met in front of the judge for the last time, she managed to get the case dismissed!!!

Response from Renee Colbert July 20, 2021

Thank you for sticking with your defense and staying calm over the numerous administrative COVID continuances. It's been a long ride to a fantastic finish. I'm so happy for you with this DISMISSAL!!

personal, caring and dynamic attorney

I reached out to Renee to get a second opinion on the expungement for my DUI. I'm in the ARD program and she is helping to expedite the expungement process. The attorney that represented me during my DUI trial said there was nothing else I could do to get the DUI off of my record early. Renee is looking at different angles and moving forward with helping to resolve this matter. I also received two summary charges that do not look good on my record for future job opportunities. She is helping me to appeal these charges when two other attorneys told me there was nothing I could do. Renee is very intelligent, aggressive and most importantly I could tell she cared about me and my stressful situation. That is very hard to find especially when one approaches an attorney for the first time. I highly recommend Renee for any legal issues. Jeff V.

Expungement advice

I recommend Ms. Colbert without reservation. Twice in five years she has given me common sense advice on criminal matters. She returns phone calls the same day, listens carefully to the issues, and thoughtfully gives her professional opinion. Today, she recommended not to spend hard earned dollars on expunging a DUI because of my personal circumstances/record. What she said made perfect sense. Thank you, Ms Colbert!

Super glad I chose her

Renee treats you more like Family than as a client. She is handling an ongoing Estate case for me. What should have been a straightforward probate has developed some twists and unexpected turns. Renee has taken everything in stride, and guided me through the process. She always returns my calls, texts and emails in a timely manor. Five (5) stars is not a high enough rating for this Attorney. My highest recommendation.

A great lawyer for over 30 years.

I consulted with Ms Colbert in 1984 regarding a legal problem I had in Oklahoma. I found her to be very intelligent, creative, hard working and well organized. Ms Colbert takes care of business and gets the job done.

Response from Renee Colbert January 25, 2017

I am grateful for this good review and kind memories. Oklahoma is my heart and soul. I remain committed to "get the job done". Thank you for reminding me of the importance!

Fast and quick to help!

Renee Colbert was quick to return my call. She immediately started helping with her extensive and skilled experience. She is understanding and will quickly answer and return calls and give immediate advice.

Response from Renee Colbert January 25, 2017

Thank you for this posting. Some times it's hard when court proceedings take precedence over return calls and I appreciate your understanding that your case is # 1 with me.

After a difficult divorce and many tears...Renee always always had my back and made me look forward to finally finding myself.

Miracle Worker !!

Renee was my attorney for a 2nd DUI-- I was facing 90 days in jail or 6 months house arrest plus 5 years probation. Renee was not only 100% supportive of me, but she got my sentencing reduced SIGNIFICANTLY--- I was able to move to a different state to continue changing my life for the positive and be near my own personal support system. Renee is EXTREMELY DEDICATED and TRULY a GIFTED attorney. She has continued to check in on me to see how I'm doing and if there is anything I need from her. She has gone way above and beyond her job--- she worked a miracle for me truly!!! I will FOREVER be grateful to her and I would recommend her to anyone!! She is amazing! I would hire her again in a heartbeat

Renee took on for me, two custody cases pertaining to my two sons. She is amazing truely. A situation that could have turned out just awful, Renee was able, due to her knowledge of the law and her whole heart in, gave me back my babies. I will say this if you feel you have a hopeless situation and you need someone on your side, call Colbert and Company. You won't regret it.

Best in the Business

There is a reason that Renee was selected to be part of our corporate legal employee benefit, and that is due to her depth of knowledge, responsiveness to her clients, and overall professionalism. I was fortunate to find her via Hewlett Packard's employee legal program which is very selective of those lawyers who are part of the program. My personal experience showed an attorney with a high degree of responsiveness, a wide base of knowledge, one who is well integrated into the the local, and state legal systems, with an established reputation with the legal community, essential in this state to succeed. Renee gives the facts, so you know what you hear is accurate and most current. My legal needs were addressed quickly and resolved. Her court manner is one of no nonsense but based on respect for the law. Anyone using Renee's services is in the top legal hands in Pa.

Amazing Lawyer

I just finished a criminal case, and without the help of Renee I do not think I could have made it through. Renee is a great lawyer. She handled my case with precision. I was very impressed with her legal knowledge as well as her knowledge of the workings within Washington County. Renee did everything that she said she would for the case and more. Renee returned all phone calls in texts in a very timely manner. She was caring, always taking the time out of her schedule to talk with me. I would highly recommend Renee Colbert.

Medical Emergency

I encountered a medical emergency at a conference in Pittsburg, attended by Renee' Colbert. Renee was able to contact my family in Harrisburg, PA and Salisbury, NC. Renee assisted my family with my insurance coverage, employment contacts, and visited me on many occasions of my three weeks in the hospital. My medical leave was approved between my surgeon and my employer by Renee. Renee contacted me to make sure every thing was going according to the law. I am very grateful having Renee assisting me and my family. I would recommend Renee Colbert as a lawyer to assist anyone with various problems in their life. She will assist and help to solve your problems.
