Best decision I could’ve ever made

About a year ago I was hit with 2 charges, 1 felony and 1 misdemeanor. Both of them being drug possession charges with high risk of jail time. I was nervous and frantic trying to find a lawyer to help represent me in this case. I called at least 100 lawyers and out of all of them Mr. Colbert made me ...feel like I was in good hands the most. From the second I called him he made me feel at ease and comfortable with the whole ordeal for the first time that I could remember since it happened. It was as if I was his family member the way he provided help and comfort towards me and my family. He would contact me to check up on me constantly and made sure I was in the right head space and still focused on my school and normal life. He took care of everything, and never had me second guess my decision of choosing him as my lawyer for even a millisecond. HE GOT ALL OF MY CHARGES DROPPED! I am so thankful and grateful for everything Mr. Colbert has done for me and he without a doubt lives up to every 5 star review. I’ve recommended him to everyone I know who has has legal trouble since Ive met him. Damon Colbert is definitely the man to see if you have any legal troubles whatsoever. I can’t thank him enough.

Excellent service!

Damon is great! Very responsive communication and painless legal process. I was very pleased with my outcome. My charge was reduced to speeding with a nominal fine. I was stopped for reckless driving on Valentines Day (go figure) going just a few miles over the threshold, I think 78/55. What could ...have resulted in an arduous increase in insurance and an actual misdemeanor offence, was averted because of Attorney Colberts hard work. In the midst of an international pandemic, and civil unrest in our country, he resolved this matter virtually, and expeditiously!

relieved and happy

I could write a book about this saga, but I will try to keep this short. an ex got me into some serious trouble. felonies. after talking to a lot of lawyers who were just scaring me to the point that I wanted to leave the country, a friend told me to call mr. damon. from our first talk i felt like i ...was talking to someone who could see me through the trouble. he did. i am so glad i hired him. (i worry about mr damon because he is always working!)

Highly recommend!-VA 10 Stars!!!

I was introduced to Damon though another lawyer who recommended he would be able to help with my matter on a pretty scary issue. Not only was Damon able to come through for me last minute but listened to me and my concerns and explained in detail how he would build my defense to increase my odds of a... favorable outcome. “Judgment Day”, Damon planned out my defense impeccably and as a result I faced the minimum penalties possible in my matter. Damon was extremely professional and made my mother and I feel very comfortable and at ease with the situation and I would/will recommend him to anyone I know who needs legal advice or consult. Like I said Damon was recommended to me and was said to be an excellent attorney and very devoted to his clients. He lived up to the very expectations settling my case with a positive ending. He showed true dedication in his work and is extremely well-educated. He was available when I needed him and fought hard for what was right. I absolutely recommend him to anyone needing legal representation.

Saved my military career after a 2nd DUI

Unfortunately, I found myself facing a 2nd DUI in my new home state. I spoke with Damon and immediately felt like he was the MAN TO SEE! He answers his own calls unlike other lawyers with receptionists. He ensured that I was knowledgeable about everything that was going on regarding my case by emaili...ng each conversation piece. In court, he exuded confidence and made sure that I was comfortable. Damon even fought for me, after the fight by reducing court ordered tasks. Trust me! Damon is definitely THE MAN TO SEE!! Call him NOW!

"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."
