Best lawyer ever!!!

I was charged with two felony counts that carried jail time if convicted. I had never been in trouble with the law before, so I was so stressed and worried about what might happen. My friend recommended that I reach out to Damon and I'm so glad that I did! He was worth every penny. We beat both charg...es and I'm a free man thanks to Damon. He took a scary situation and made me feel confident that I was in experienced hands. I would 100% recommend Damon to anyone facing criminal charges and need an experienced lawyer to give you the best representation out there.

Simply the best

Hiring Mr. Colbert was one the best decision I have made. From the moment I hired him he was kind and sympathetic to my situation. Reassured me throughout the whole process. I was facing a Second DUI. He broke down all the evidence with me and reassured me that we had this. Come court time and M...r. Colbert got the prosecution to drop all charges. Please do not think twice about hiring Mr. Colbert!

This man saved my life!

I had been dealing with multiple felony charges for almost 5 years! They had been Noelle Pros’d and brought back up to a higher court. I was being wrongfully accused! Facing up to 25 years and over $20k in restitution…. Damon fought for me and brought the pitbull mentality that I needed in a lawyer.... My trial was his Super Bowl. When the evidence and facts started being brought forth to the jury. It was clear that the prosecutors had it all wrong and my case was dismissed! Thank you Damon from the bottom of my heart. I can finally move forward in life with my head held high.

From a relative of a judge

Our world came crashing down after the arrest happened. The charges almost killed me when I read them. I am related to a judge so I asked my relative who we should get to help us. Three names came back. One was Mr. Colbert. One lawyer did not call me back. The other lawyer was just okay. Mr.... Colbert dazzled me with his warmth and knowledge. I am so glad because he made EVERYTHING go away. So grateful. I love him. (He also loves dogs, which means he is a good person.)

Posted by Richard | January 19, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Best VA attorney

Mr Colbert is a man of his word if he says he’s going to get it done he gets it done, he’s very professional and he will keep it real with you no matter what if you have a case in Va don’t look pass Mr. Colbert please.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
