Damon Dewayne Colbert

My grandson was at home this Thanksgiving and Christmas and has been at home for the past couple of Thanksgiving holidays even though Stafford County decided to charge him with several felonies, a few of which could have resulted in life imprisonment. If we didn’t have any money to pay Mr. Colbert..., my grandson would be behind bars right now. Initially, we hired a lawyer who advertises on Google. This prior lawyer talked to us nicely initially. After we paid this prior lawyer $15,000, the prior lawyer disappeared and ducked our phone calls. This prior lawyer sent an associate to do the legal work, and the associate did not do a good job. In fact, the associate put my grandson into a legal hole that Mr. Colbert eventually got him out of using a motion to suppress. When we decided to fire the prior lawyer, the prior lawyer decided to stop ducking our phone calls. The prior lawyer’s comments to us dripped with derision and condescension. The prior lawyer told us that we were “destroying [my grandson’s] life” and that “he will be in prison for life.” The prior lawyer wanted to know who we had hired. When I stated that we were going to hire Mr. Colbert, the prior lawyer went berserk and barked: “Do you know your grandson will be locked up for life if you go with that guy!” The prior lawyer also referred to my family and me as “you people.” From the first moment he stepped in court for my grandson, Mr. Colbert was one sharp brother. He fought, fought, fought——and then he fought some more. At every court appearance, he displayed talent and skill. My grandson was to have two jury trials, one for each alleged victim. Mr. Colbert used a motion to suppress to get one jury trial dropped. My grandson then went through a full-blown jury trial with Mr. Colbert by his side. It was amazing to watch. At the halfway point, Mr. Colbert persuaded the judge to dismiss a charge that was punishable by life imprisonment. Ultimately, all of the remaining charges were dropped. During this time of Thanksgiving, and Christmas, I am grateful that Mr. Colbert took the time to work with us. He fought for my grandson like my grandson was his kin. He was a complete breath of fresh air after the “you people” treatment we received from that prior lawyer.

A parents worse nightmare is to receive a call indicating their child had been arrested. Unfortunately, I received that call early one morning, indicating my child had been arrested for DWI, in Virginia….a state known for its harsh laws and punishment for DWI. As an attorney myself, I knew this wo...uld be an uphill battle, and we would need the best legal representation possible. From the first contact with Atty Colbert, I knew he was the right attorney for my family. He was very knowledgeable, thorough, and expressed the willingness to go to trial, if needed. Equally as important Atty Colbert was very responsive to our questions and concerns. It was not unusual to receive a call or text from him outside of business hours, to respond to questions and ease our anxiety. However, what cemented in my mind that we chose the right attorney, was watching Atty Colbert during the initial court hearing. As I watched Atty Colbert maneuver around the courtroom, it was clear that he was not just a skilled attorney, but was someone who was well respected in the courthouse. At that moment I knew we were in great hands. My son’s case was a DWI blood draw case (which some believe is the most difficult type DWI case to beat). He was looking at a minimum of 10 days in jail, in addition to all of the normal sanctions for DUI (DL suspension, fines, interlock, etc). However, Atty Colbert worked tirelessly to get the best results for my son. Thanks to Atty Colbert’s advocacy, the case was DISMISSED! During my 20 year legal career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with and observe hundreds of attorneys. I know a great attorney when I see one. I can honestly say that Atty Colbert is one of the best! If you are looking for a competent and confident attorney, who can get results, retain Atty Colbert.

This was my first time needing any type of legal help and Mr. Colbert was more than helpful and assisting. Not only did he take into consideration my feelings and everything I wanted, but he broke everything down to me and gave me the best plan to move forward. He gave me the reassurance that I neede...d at the start and took care of everything all the way through the end. His direct honesty is something you cannot put a price on. I could not have asked for a better attorney. I am very thankful and will always be thankful for him.

I had 2 felonies & a misdemeanor, facing up to potentially 40 years because I went into my exes apartment after seeing him with another woman & I put the woman’s stuff out of his apartment. Damon really resonated with my situation & made me feel at ease. As a result, he got all my felonies removed w...ith no jail time. He is the absolute best! When you talk to him, you can easily tell that this man knows the law. He is confident, well spoken, & knows how to navigate a courtroom. I am highly grateful that I met this man. I would strongly recommend that you hire him for all your criminal needs.

I can’t say enough about Damon D. Colbert. From our first consultation to our dismissal, Damon represented us well. He is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney that took the time to listen and understand our case. During our initial call, he made sure we understood not only the charges b...ut the process. Each step of the way, we felt informed. We felt we had someone on our side that cared; someone that was going to fight for us and that is exactly what we got. There was so much that I was worried about but then Damon was there, his confidence gave me comfort and his ability was outstanding. If I could give you 100 stars I would because you gave us 100%. Thank you so so much!
