Honest & Professional Council

I procured Damon's council for a circuit court appeal after I was poorly misrepresented by another locally known firm for a false accusation of a domestic assault. I was recommended Damon's firm from a county clerk, that I knew personally, that testified to his dedication to fighting for the rights o...f his clients as well as his professionalism. Damon provided me a relatively fair cost given the circumstances. I initially intended to prove my innocence through a jury trial which Mr. Colbert was fully prepared for. However, given the climate in America with "Me Too" and this atmosphere of almost guilty until proven innocent with theses type of cases, I ultimately decided not to proceed with the jury trial and ended up accepting the plea. More than anything though I would say Damon's service provided me both with legal and life council. We did a well planned and thorough trial prep but I ultimately decided against. A year later and I can honestly still say that I am glad I choose Damon's firm to represent me and that it was a great choice!

Rave Review for Damon Colbert as a Legal Mastermind

I was emotionally vexed with what seemed to be an insurmountable challenge with trying to defend myself a former boyfriend who filed false claims against me with the local police that resulted in the issuance of a protective order. I retained Damon as my legal counsel who immediately went to work on ...my behalf . Damon is highly skilled with navigating the complexities of the legal system and prepared an airtight defense to expose material false allegations and deliver a compelling legal defense that resulted in my acquittal of groundless charges. Damon is a trusted legal expert with experience and proven track record of getting results !

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."
