A tireless advocate and exceptional defense attorney

Hiring Damon Colbert was the smartest decision I have ever made. He was tenacious and tireless in his work to defend me. His knowledge of the legal system and his unwavering commitment to achieving the best results possible exceeded all my expectations. Throughout the process, Mr. Colbert always ke...pt me updated on the status of my case, providing me with a clear understanding of the process, patiently answering all of my questions, and providing invaluable guidance. Prior to hiring Mr. Colbert, I was in a constant state of worry and confusion because I lacked the knowledge necessary to make the right decisions. I didn’t even know what questions to ask. That changed the minute he agreed to take my case. I quickly learned if he said he would do something, he would do it. At the same time, he never promised unrealistic outcomes that gave me false hope. Instead, his actions gave me full confidence at all times that he was working tirelessly to achieve the best results possible. Damon Colbert is without a doubt the man to see and the person to hire if you want an excellent attorney who treats you as a person, is always responsive, and works hard to ensure the most beneficial outcome possible. I am beyond lucky to have had him representing me.

Not all SuperHero’s wear Cape’s

Mr. Colbert exceeded all of my expectations. From the very beginning, when I was nervous and overwhelmed, he was calm, reassuring, and made it clear that he truly had my back. His confidence and professionalism immediately put me at ease. When I say Mr. Colbert is wonderful, I truly mean it I woul...d choose him every single time without hesitation. Thanks to his knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail, my DWI case was DISMISSED. His demeanor, presence, and representation are truly A-class. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also genuinely supportive, Mr. Colbert is the ONE. Highly recommend! I would confidently choose him again and AGAIN!!!

Damon Colbert-Godsend & Underrated- Blessed Me and My Business!

According to VA state law, I would be considered a first time offender. The particular county that I was charged in as a young professional black woman particularly is not fond of a certain minority race. I was pulled over, abused by sheriffs, and arrested all in the same day. I do not do drugs nor d...rink and drive. I was locked up and released the following morning. I ended up going to the hospital to address and document the bruises and gashes I endured during the brutal arrest. I had never been in a predicament like this and ultimately felt like I was at my wits end. I was charged with a felony-assault & battery on a law enforcement officer(lie),resisting arrest,speeding infraction, obstruction w/o force, and no driver license. I pondered who could help me in this situation. I looked for lawyers outside of VA and beyond, because I’ve dealt with non criminal related attorneys and I was essentially another notch on their belts so to speak. I researched and literally, the same day after being released from arrest, Damon Colbert populated on my search engine. I was apprehensive at first because I’ve had horrible experiences with certain lawyers in VA. However, I read his reviews in regard to the way his work ethic and character was depicted. It gave me hope at my current mindset of despair. Especially, as a young business professional black woman in VA. I took a leap of faith and contacted his office that night, left a message & he responded immediately and looked up my case and allowed me to explain my side of the story and the events that transpired. He was very professional and allowed me to do my due diligence outside of him and I ended up hiring him as my lawyer afterwards. He was very intelligent,diligent, professional, organized, exhibited great follow up, spoke facts, sense of humor(provided great relief during my difficult time), great counsel advice, and broke things down to me so that I fully understood the scope of my entire case. He was more than a lawyer, he was a Godsend and blessing. This guy is underrated and I would hire him in a heart beat as my lawyer again. During trial, the felony was dropped and dismissed, the no drivers license was dropped, & the obstruction dropped after a certain condition is met. I did have to pay a speeding ticket, although some footage was still missing (but that’s another conversation.) Damon Colbert is your Go To Man if you truly need and want a lawyer who will fight for you, won’t sugar coat the facts, professional, put you at ease in the face of uncertainty and adversity, and is really and truly for his client. After my trial, I had a young woman ask for his contact information and someone I know has recently hired him for a case. If you’re ever in doubt, in distress, or feel hopelessness or face uncertainty in any of your case(s), contact Damon Colbert who will keep it real with you, present the facts, and guide you along the process. God Bless Damon, his team, and all clients that he’s helped and continues to help! Thank you very much and I respect you Damon Colbert- keep fighting and keep winning, you deserve it! Thank you!

Sharp. Straightforward. Stoic.

Masterful in the courtroom. The prosecution tried to send my family away for many years. Colbert shut them down. Unflappable. Many things were clear once the trial began. First and foremost, Colbert was comfortable. He told me he was "addicted to friction." He clearly ran to the fight.

Mr. Colbert is THE ABSOLUTE BEST

Choosing this attorney was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He was incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and reassuring from day one, and he worked with me closely at every step of the process. He made sure I understood everything and never once made me feel like “just another case.” Wh...en we went to court, it was obvious that he is highly respected by everyone there—from the judge to the prosecution to other attorneys. That level of respect doesn’t come easily, and it showed in how effectively he handled my case. He promised me he would fight for me, and he truly did. Thanks to his dedication and skill, an unjust DUI arrest was reduced to a minor traffic violation. I couldn’t be more thankful or more satisfied with the outcome. If you want an attorney who genuinely cares and delivers results, look no further.

"I met Damon some years ago when he opened his law office. I was immediately struck with how determined he was to get great results for his clients. Damon wouldn't rest until he had checked out every possible defense, reviewed every report, talked with every witness and discussed his ideas with every lawyer he knew.
