A LAWYER THAT WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! A LAWYER WHO CARES!

As the mother of a child who went through an incredibly difficult and frightening experience with the legal system, I cannot fully put into words what Mr Colbert has meant for my family. We now refer to him as “The Lincoln Lawyer.” At one of my lowest and most overwhelming moments, I reached out f...or help and within a short time, he responded and agreed to take on the case. That immediate support alone brought a sense of relief I hadn’t felt in a long time. Before contacting Mr Colbert, we felt unheard and pressured by our previous lawyer who tried to convince my daughter to accept a plea deal that would not serve her best interests. I believed it was unfair. That all changed the moment Mr Colbert stepped in. He swooped in and rescued a situation that had been heading in the wrong direction due to the guidance we had received from the previous lawyer. From the very beginning, he showed genuine care not just for the case, but for my child as a person. He took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and patiently answer every question we had. His communication was consistent, reassuring, and made an incredibly stressful situation feel much more manageable. What stood out most was his empathy. He made my daughter feel safe, respected, and truly heard something that had been missing with the previous lawyer. He didn’t just take over the case; he completely turned things around, restoring our confidence and giving us hope when we were close to losing it. Because of his dedication, professionalism, and compassion, we felt supported every step of the way. I will always be deeply grateful. Any family would be fortunate to have him in their corner. How did it end? We went from being pressured to accept a plea deal that would have had my child (who had never been in trouble with the law) tied up in the legal system for 4 1/2 years, with a record, repaying a large amount of money, to a DISMISSAL! NB. I heard he was the talk of the town after his second appearance with my daughter at her pre trial motion! Everyone wanted his business card! That’s says a lot… #DamonIsForYou! A very grateful and relieved mother!

Not all SuperHero’s wear Cape’s

Mr. Colbert exceeded all of my expectations. From the very beginning, when I was nervous and overwhelmed, he was calm, reassuring, and made it clear that he truly had my back. His confidence and professionalism immediately put me at ease. When I say Mr. Colbert is wonderful, I truly mean it I woul...d choose him every single time without hesitation. Thanks to his knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail, my DWI case was DISMISSED. His demeanor, presence, and representation are truly A-class. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also genuinely supportive, Mr. Colbert is the ONE. Highly recommend! I would confidently choose him again and AGAIN!!!

Damon Colbert-Godsend & Underrated- Blessed Me and My Business!

According to VA state law, I would be considered a first time offender. The particular county that I was charged in as a young professional black woman particularly is not fond of a certain minority race. I was pulled over, abused by sheriffs, and arrested all in the same day. I do not do drugs nor d...rink and drive. I was locked up and released the following morning. I ended up going to the hospital to address and document the bruises and gashes I endured during the brutal arrest. I had never been in a predicament like this and ultimately felt like I was at my wits end. I was charged with a felony-assault & battery on a law enforcement officer(lie),resisting arrest,speeding infraction, obstruction w/o force, and no driver license. I pondered who could help me in this situation. I looked for lawyers outside of VA and beyond, because I’ve dealt with non criminal related attorneys and I was essentially another notch on their belts so to speak. I researched and literally, the same day after being released from arrest, Damon Colbert populated on my search engine. I was apprehensive at first because I’ve had horrible experiences with certain lawyers in VA. However, I read his reviews in regard to the way his work ethic and character was depicted. It gave me hope at my current mindset of despair. Especially, as a young business professional black woman in VA. I took a leap of faith and contacted his office that night, left a message & he responded immediately and looked up my case and allowed me to explain my side of the story and the events that transpired. He was very professional and allowed me to do my due diligence outside of him and I ended up hiring him as my lawyer afterwards. He was very intelligent,diligent, professional, organized, exhibited great follow up, spoke facts, sense of humor(provided great relief during my difficult time), great counsel advice, and broke things down to me so that I fully understood the scope of my entire case. He was more than a lawyer, he was a Godsend and blessing. This guy is underrated and I would hire him in a heart beat as my lawyer again. During trial, the felony was dropped and dismissed, the no drivers license was dropped, & the obstruction dropped after a certain condition is met. I did have to pay a speeding ticket, although some footage was still missing (but that’s another conversation.) Damon Colbert is your Go To Man if you truly need and want a lawyer who will fight for you, won’t sugar coat the facts, professional, put you at ease in the face of uncertainty and adversity, and is really and truly for his client. After my trial, I had a young woman ask for his contact information and someone I know has recently hired him for a case. If you’re ever in doubt, in distress, or feel hopelessness or face uncertainty in any of your case(s), contact Damon Colbert who will keep it real with you, present the facts, and guide you along the process. God Bless Damon, his team, and all clients that he’s helped and continues to help! Thank you very much and I respect you Damon Colbert- keep fighting and keep winning, you deserve it! Thank you!

Sharp. Straightforward. Stoic.

Masterful in the courtroom. The prosecution tried to send my family away for many years. Colbert shut them down. Unflappable. Many things were clear once the trial began. First and foremost, Colbert was comfortable. He told me he was "addicted to friction." He clearly ran to the fight.

Thank you Mr. Damon Colbert!!

Highly Recommended!! A Calm, Strategic, and Committed Legal Advocate I had the privilege of working with Attorney Damon Colbert during a challenging legal matter, and I can confidently say his expertise, professionalism, and commitment made all the difference. From the start, Mr. Colbert listen...ed carefully, asked the right questions, and mapped out a clear legal strategy that gave me both confidence and peace of mind. Throughout the case, he challenged weak assumptions, dissected inconsistencies in the opposing side’s statements, and leveraged the facts to my full advantage. His efforts ultimately led to the court entering a nolle prosequi (a formal dismissal) at the Commonwealth’s own request.
