If you’re unsure who to hire, choose Damon Colbert

To make a long story short, I was having a difficult time with two charges that were being brought against me (1 being a felony). My previous lawyer did not feel invested or make me feel comfortable with my case. I had no understanding of the process or how to weigh my options. So after my case got n...ull processed, and the charges were renewed I knew that I did not want the same representation. I did what you are probably doing right now and started looking for the best lawyer I could find. After reading his reviews, I immediately knew this is who I needed. From the initial consultation I had learned more about my case than I ever did with my previous lawyer. Damon helped me along the entire way to know what to expect, understand what my options were, and to act on my behalf. In the end, Damon got me the most logical outcome for my case after multiple preliminary trials and negotiations of the charges. Thank you Damon for helping me to get my life back on track. Hire this professional, it is a no brainer in my opinion.

Expert Lawyer!

Mr. Damon is an expert in criminal cases and would highly recommend him if you are facing any charges. He is very assertive and will definitely provide the best advocay. I was facing 2 felony charges and he made it go away! He will answers all the questions and make a plan on how to proceed in court.... Very powerful personality to confront the prosecutor. I will recommend him without any doubt!

Highly Experienced Defense Attorney

Mr. Colbert is a very experienced and tactical criminal defense attorney in DC/VA region. Mr. Colbert’s willingness to break down the complexity of the legal terms and process and ability to think outside the box to come up with creative approaches to our felony cases gave me confidence to move forwa...rd with him. One of the things that I really appreciated about working with Mr. Colbert is that he never tried to force us to do anything, take any deals or pleas that we wasn't comfortable with. He always gave us options and let us make the decision with pros and cons for each decision. Just because of Mr. Colbert today, 2 Felony chargers got dropped off. The professionalism that he displayed is top notch. If for some reason I have to seek any help I won't take a millisecond to think about who I'm going to call and I do recommend Mr. Colbert if anyone need a criminal defense for any reasons. Thank you Mr. Damon Colbert for all you've done for me and my family. I am grateful for you and giving us our life back.

Not Guilty!

If you are seeking an excellent attorney, call Mr. Colbert immediately. I called Mr. Colbert around 1 AM in the morning, and he answered the phone. I asked him to step in last minute to take over my case because I had lost confidence in my current attorney. Luckily for me, he agreed. Calling Mr. ...Colbert was the smartest decision I ever made. I had no prior experience of being a defendant and felt completely helpless. In addition to Mr. Colbert providing exceptional legal representation, he also made me feel throughout each of our contacts that I was getting the same empathy and respect that he would have given his closest family member. During each of my court appearances, Mr. Colbert was extremely well prepared. On my trial date, I felt like Mr. Johnny Cochran (may he rest in peace) could not have done a better job. After being found not guilty of my charges, Mr. Colbert shared with me outside the courtroom that his grandmother (who was more like a mother to him) had just passed. I don’t know how he delivered such an exceptional performance inside the courtroom while experiencing so much grief; however, I am absolutely certain that Mr. Colbert made me and his grandmother very proud. Hail to the king of criminal defense!

Great Lawyer for My Unfortunate Situation

If you ever need a lawyer Mr. Colbert is the person you want in your corner. I found Mr. Colbert to be very patient, non-judgemental, and someone on my side. He is very familiar with the Commonwealth nuisances, and has a good rapport with many of the Commonwealth attorneys in the NOVA area. He repr...esented me in a reckless driving case 122/50 and I have to say that I was pleased with the outcome. The outcome was not what I wanted, yet very fair. Just keep in mind that Mr. Colbert is a Lawyer not Jesus. But for working miracles he came pretty close in my opinion. (Smiles)

"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."
