Professional and very competent

Colbert exceeded all expectations with handling my case. He defended an assault and battery charge as self defense and had the case dismissed with prejudice even before I took the stand. He is a sharp lawyer that most importantly has a great ability to read people. He is very experienced and knows th...e courts and law well. He quickly gathered evidence, disclosure, and communication while maintaining updates with me. If I had any questions or concerns he would be available to discuss the case. I consulted with four other lawyers, of which did not impress me. When I consulted with Colbert he was confident, knowledgeable, and most importantly spoke straight with me. I appreciated his attitude and outlook and knew he was the best option. In regards to that he provided me with a flat fee up front rather than monkeying around with a base retainer plus additional costs accrued after. Just very upfront and straight to the point. It was entertaining to see him manage the prosecution and the other attorney so expertly. He utilized their confusion of a companion case to dismiss the charges. The prosecution and accompanying attorney looked foolish. I was amused and in disbelief as I watched him advise the other side and predicted what they were going to do next. He saw their incompetence and ended the trial quickly and with effect. He attempted to convince the prosecution to drop the case the week before but they just had to drag me to court just to be humiliated in front of the judge by Colbert. Overall Colbert was a pleasure to interact with, competent, and has a sharp sense of reading people. It was truly a pleasure to have him defend me.

Best DUI attorney!

I’m so thankful to have retained Mr. Colbert as my attorney. He has been helpful, prompt, knowledgeable and professional. I felt at ease and prepared for court through his guidance and reassurance and I received the best outcome in my case because of his negotiation skills.

Survivor of the Illegal Legal System

Attny Colbert was a life savior for my son, after I had fired four attorneys who were representing the Illegal Legal system. Attny Colbert words, " I Will Fight For You" are strong/true words utilized to Win my son court cases. My first conversation with Attny Colbert was a calming voice that verbal...ized, what he could do to represent my son. My first thought, I did not believe a word of the first conversation. I went back searching the web and reading Attny Colbert web page and took a chance to hire Attny Colbert. Although I had lost money from firing the previous attorneys, I took a chance. Hiring Attny Colbert was the best finance decision. Attny Colbert ensured my son's Life to freedom. Not one case but four cases, due to charges evolved from one arrest. Three assault/battery charges and disorderly conduct were dismissed. Attny Colbert exemplified the true professional knowledge of the criminal law system to prove the innocence of my son who was Falsely charged by the Virginia Legal System. Attny Colbert is a Lawyer that is dedicated to the Rights of the People and Restores Faith to the unfair Legal System. Attny Colbert is awarded trial attorney for Life!! Thank you and Keep the Fight Alive, it was an Honor to collaborate with a true professional !

Reckless Driving

When I tell you, this man is amazingly great, he will represent you at all cost, entertaining that courthouse to win, losing is not an option, and it’s also not written in his book. His motive is to win no matter the circumstances.

"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."
