DAMON HELPED ME BEAT TWO FELONIES IN ARLINGTON!

I highly recommend Damon! These Arlington people had me arrested for two felonies I did not commit, almost six months after the incident. I had to spend Christmas in jail. I am a grandmother. Damon assured me that he was going to get justice for me. I remember rotting in that cold jail. Today, ...he followed through on his promise to me. We had a jury trial. Arlington dropped one felony today before we started. Then, the judge dismissed the other felony after the trial started. Damon was going to town on the witnesses for the other side. I am so relieved and happy that this young man looked out for me and protected against the government.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Colbert is a fantastic lawyer. I was facing a serious felony charge for intent to distribute a controlled substance. Mr. Colbert was great to calm my nerves and assure me that he had everything under control. He communicated well and kept me up to date about my case. Thanks to his hard work my... charges are now dismissed. I would recommend him to any of my family and friends.

He is YOUR attorney!

On New Year's Day, I was arrest and charged with a DUI. Over the next few days, I reached out to several lawyers trying to find the best attorney to represent me. Mr. Cobert was heaven sent (almost literally, he was highly recommended by my church). I had a short turn around time for my first court a...ppearance and Mr. Colbert jumped right on the case and made to where I only had to appear in court two (2) times (once for arraignment and once for the trial date). Mr. Colbert was very straightforward when he presented all of my options and possible outcomes with a huge degree of patience (I'm sure I asked him the same questions three (3) or four (4) times). He wanted to be sure that I was sure, that I was positive that I understood my options. I am beyond pleased with the outcome of my case (NO DUI - Hallejuah!) and I'm able to drive with no restrictions! Mr. Colbert is very knowledgeable, well respected, and is highly recommended. Don't second guess it, HE IS YOUR ATTORNEY!

Definitely The Attorney you want to fight for you!

I had a situation a few years back where I was stopped by an Officer while driving home from work days before Christmas. I was sick with an upper respiratory infection and on antibiotics. However, I was dead sober and explained all this to the arresting officer in addition to letting him know that ...I was a single mom of a 1 year old son and I was very cooperative and Polite . I was wrongly accused and had my rights violated, was arrested for a DWI or DUI and A refusal of breath test (WHICH BOTH CHARGES WERE FALSE ) However, I was bullied and Put through so much from this type of Traumatic experience. I was upset and nervous , I was given Mr. Colberts information and once speaking with him over phone ...I knew in my gut I had to hire this man and fight for my freedom and my son. It was the best thing I could of done and Mr. Colbert left no stone unturned for my family and I . He was on point , Sharp as a tack and fought relentlessly for me. Long story short, It was A hard fight and in the End Result WE TOOK IT TO JURY TRIAL , WELL 2 ACTUALLY.. ONE TRIAL FOR EACH TRUMPED UP CHARGE. WE WON BOTH ! THIS WAS IN ARLINGTON COUNTY AND I WOULD HIRE MR. DAMON COLBERT IN A NEW YORK MINUTE , IF EVER THERE BE ANY REASON TO AGAIN.

CASE DISMISSED!

Mr. Colbert helped me defeat the Commonwealth of Virginia twice on two felony charges in Arlington. An officer planted drugs on me, and Mr. Colbert got that dismissed at a preliminary hearing. Then, the prosecutor was petty and decided to come after me on a felony failure to appear charge. Mr. ...Colbert urged me to have a jury trial, and we did that. The trial was today, and Mr. Colbert had the case dismissed at the halfway point. He came back from lunch with some case and said some legal stuff to the judge. MOTION GRANTED. CASE DISMISSED. The petty prosecutor looked as if she was going to cry. Mr. Colbert is the best lawyer I have ever had. Period.

"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. I've referred several people to Damon and he's gotten terrific results in every one of those cases. If you're reading this, you must be in a situation where you need a lawyer. Before you retain counsel, be sure to sit down with Damon and get his take on matters. He's very well-respected by judges, prosecutors and most importantly, by his fellow criminal defense attorneys. Truly outstanding."
