Impressed Mother, Case Dismissed!

As a mother, I can’t express the gratitude I have for Mr Colbert. I was hopeless after our previous lawyer had said that there was little to no chance of getting my daughter’s charges dismissed. We found Mr. Colbert and decided to take a chance on him and we did not regret that. There was a clear d...ifference between him and the other lawyer. he reassured us that he would fight for us and he went above and beyond. At trial it was clear to everyone in the courtroom how skilled and dedicated he was. There were even people coming up to us after saying how great of a layer he was. Thanks to his effort the case was dismissed. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an exceptional lawyer!

Excellent, Results Driven Attorney!!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service the Law Office of Damon D. Colbert provided. When my family faced an incredibly difficult and challenging time, with my loved one being unjustly charged with five offenses, including first- and second-degree murder, we found a true blessin...g in Mr. Colbert. From the moment he took on my loved one’s case, his professionalism and unwavering tenacity were evident, and he played a pivotal role in securing a positive outcome. Of the five charges, 3 were unfounded and dismissed, one charge yielded a not-guilty verdict, and another was reduced tremendously to allow our loved one a life outside of what could have been jail for a very long time. Mr. Colbert’s deep understanding of the law and his remarkable ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system were invaluable. He didn’t just review the case on the surface—he dug deep, uncovering essential items and details that others might have overlooked. His legal expertise allowed him to dismantle the unfounded charges and identify legal barriers that I was unaware of, but he immediately saw them with his sharp insight and experience. Beyond his impressive legal knowledge, what truly sets Mr. Colbert apart is his ability to put his clients at ease. He communicated the intricacies of the law to both his client and our family in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring that we felt informed and confident throughout the process. His patience, dedication, and commitment to my loved one’s case made all the difference in the world. I am particularly grateful for how Mr. Colbert continues to serve the citizens of Virginia, especially people of color and those less fortunate. His willingness to sacrifice his personal time to advocate for those who need it most speaks volumes about his character and commitment to justice. Without him, I cannot say I felt confident that my loved one's trial would have been fair and just. I wholeheartedly recommend Damon D. Colbert to anyone in need of a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but genuinely cares about the outcome of your case. Thank you, Mr. Colbert, for your continued dedication to justice and for significantly impacting my family’s life. We are forever grateful for your expertise and support!

His expertise, passion, and dedication shine through as he guides you eve...ry step of the way. Five stars don’t do him justice!

You won’t regret retaining him

Damon Colbert is top tier! You won’t regret hiring him. In my loved ones case, we learned just how unjust the justice system is. The first attorney we hired was recommended to us by a friend and he completely dropped the ball. Never visited the jail, didn’t answer phone calls, kept us completely out ...of the loop and failed to produce results. We decided to hire Mr. Colbert just a couple of months before trial and immediately saw the difference. He stepped in and was very attentive, timely, and personable from the day we retained him. He was also affordable. Out of the dozens of attorneys we spoke with, Damon was the only one who didn’t seem motivated by money. He actually cared. He routinely visited the jail at least once a week. We (the family) never felt like we were burdening him with questions or as if we had to chase him down for updates. He always contacted us first as soon as he received updates. He was truly a blessing throughout this whole process. Especially given the fact that he had to pick up the slack of another attorney on such short notice. He did great at trial and presented the evidence clearly and professionally. Even when the prosecutors were twisting facts, he made sure the jury understood the truth. & most importantly the jury found him not-guilty of a charge that he would’ve been facing up to a decade of jail time for. Thank you, again!
