Outstanding & Stellar Criminal Defense Attorney

My beloved son was facing five felony charges, including two malicious wounding charges. Throughout the trials and tribulations of dealing with the judicial system an undue strain was put on my family and myself. As a result of having to deal with the realization of navigating the process of securing... a defense lawyer who is capable of providing the legal services required to secure my son's freedom, without blemish. My family, friends, church members, and myself are immensely thankful to have had our prayers answered through the stellar services provided by attorney Damon D. Colbert. Prior to securing the legal defense services of attorney Colbert, my son's freedom was put in jeopardy at the hands of careless and ineffective other attorneys. After two fumbled bond hearings, due to the careless kafkaesque nature of other attorneys available to my son during the bond hearing process. That led to my son having to remain incarcerated before even facing trial. Attorney Colbert’s legal prowess came just in time. Attorney Colbert was able to secure his freedom while we waited for the preliminary hearing to occur. Which brought great relief to my family and community members. During the preliminary hearing attorney Colbert was able to navigate the judicial system to such a highly skilled degree that the five initial felony charges my son was facing were reduced down to two misdemeanors. Which my son accepted, not as an admission of guilt to any felony charges, but as an avoidance of his record being permanently tattered by any felony conviction. My son is more than grateful that he can return back to university life, hiking, music making and other enriching activities which he loves doing. We are so grateful to have him back safe, whole and without any major convictions to his name. Securing attorney Damon D. Colbert’s services guaranteed the best outcome in dealing with the criminal judicial system. We are forever grateful to have been able to afford the services of attorney Colbert and to have been given the gift of discernment when it came to selecting the right legal defense for my son. Which was attorney Damon D. Colbert. We recommend no other attorney besides Damon D. Colbert for criminal defense.

If you want the BEST look no further.

Mr. Colbert from the very beginning gave me a sense of confidence in him that I knew he was the lawyer to hire. During his consultation, he made me feel heard and illustrated his vast experience in just a few short minutes, with though provoking questions and statements that made me feel confident in... his ability. As a member of the military, my felony charge and failure to appear were sure fire ways to loosing my security clearance and way to provide for my family. Once hired Mr. Colbert swiftly got my warrants dropped with his verbal judo in the courtroom. By the time we got to the preliminary hearing 90days later all charges where dropped and we was out of there as fast as we got in. During our consultation he told me he was the best, and Sir you are right. He is the best!! If you find yourself needing an attorney, whatever Mr. Colbert's rates are is Pennie’s compared to the breath of experience, excitement, and professionalism that he has for your situation. I highly recommend! Signed a happy client!

10 Star ⭐️ Lawyer. Lives up to his name

Man, what an experience I’ve had with Mr.Colbert. I caught multiple charges last year and never was In trouble with the law, so I didn’t know where to start. I hired a lawyer before Damon and it was a nightmare. That lawyer told me to cop to the DWI and wouldn’t answer my calls until a week before ...my trial date . I fired that lawyer and went with Mr. Colbert. He was always positive about everything. Today he got that DWI dismissed along with 2 other charges in a well fought trial, I was super impressed. I’d recommend him to anyone going through any legal issues definitely worth every dollar. Thank you again Mr.Colbert. You kept your word and fought for me, I appreciate you for that!

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!

Saved My Life

I cannot recommend Damon Colbert highly enough. Facing a felony embezzlement charge with the possibility of up to 20 years in jail and nearly $68,000 in restitution, I was convinced my future was bleak. However, Mr. Colbert’s swift and expert handling of my case turned everything around. He meticulou...sly reviewed all the evidence and formulated a robust defense strategy. Thanks to his dedication and skill, my charge was reduced from felony embezzlement to a misdemeanor of petty larceny, and my restitution was cut down to less than a third of the original amount. His professionalism and commitment were evident throughout the entire process. Mr. Colbert not only saved me from a potentially devastating outcome but also gave me a second chance at life. If you need a lawyer who will fight for you, Damon Colbert is the one to call.

"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.
