Definitely The Attorney you want to fight for you!

I had a situation a few years back where I was stopped by an Officer while driving home from work days before Christmas. I was sick with an upper respiratory infection and on antibiotics. However, I was dead sober and explained all this to the arresting officer in addition to letting him know that ...I was a single mom of a 1 year old son and I was very cooperative and Polite . I was wrongly accused and had my rights violated, was arrested for a DWI or DUI and A refusal of breath test (WHICH BOTH CHARGES WERE FALSE ) However, I was bullied and Put through so much from this type of Traumatic experience. I was upset and nervous , I was given Mr. Colberts information and once speaking with him over phone ...I knew in my gut I had to hire this man and fight for my freedom and my son. It was the best thing I could of done and Mr. Colbert left no stone unturned for my family and I . He was on point , Sharp as a tack and fought relentlessly for me. Long story short, It was A hard fight and in the End Result WE TOOK IT TO JURY TRIAL , WELL 2 ACTUALLY.. ONE TRIAL FOR EACH TRUMPED UP CHARGE. WE WON BOTH ! THIS WAS IN ARLINGTON COUNTY AND I WOULD HIRE MR. DAMON COLBERT IN A NEW YORK MINUTE , IF EVER THERE BE ANY REASON TO AGAIN.

CASE DISMISSED!

Mr. Colbert helped me defeat the Commonwealth of Virginia twice on two felony charges in Arlington. An officer planted drugs on me, and Mr. Colbert got that dismissed at a preliminary hearing. Then, the prosecutor was petty and decided to come after me on a felony failure to appear charge. Mr. ...Colbert urged me to have a jury trial, and we did that. The trial was today, and Mr. Colbert had the case dismissed at the halfway point. He came back from lunch with some case and said some legal stuff to the judge. MOTION GRANTED. CASE DISMISSED. The petty prosecutor looked as if she was going to cry. Mr. Colbert is the best lawyer I have ever had. Period.

Confidence, Encouragement, and Intelligence

Mr. Colbert represented my son in a reckless driving case. Throughout the entire duration of the case, which lasted six months, Mr. Colbert was extremely informative and supportive as neither my son nor I have dealt with a legal matter of this sort before. The case went all the way to a jury trial, w...hich took place just a few days ago. My son who serves in the US Army and is stationed in Arlington, VA, was facing the possibility of up to 12 months jail time and up to a max fine of $2,500. Since I live in Florida, I flew to Virginia in support of my son on his jury date. Needless to say, it was the most difficult, stressful and scary thing I have ever dealt with and I would never wish that on any mother. However, I was confident that Mr. Colbert would fight to convince the jury not to find my son guilty as charged and to avoid jail time, which would have potentially ended my sons Army career. My son just turned 21 and he loves the Army. He has worked very hard and has shown an incredible amount of commitment and dedication to serving our country, but with this charge, it has absolutely impacted his spirit. With that said, he has never gotten into any trouble before and the reckless driving charge was because he was speeding to help one of his fellow soldiers who had been assaulted. When he was stopped by the police officer, my son cooperated and was respectful and courteous. Of course he made a mistake and he should have gotten a ticket for speeding, but that one mistake should not end his career. A young man who was just trying to help his friend. Of course this is how I felt and I shared that feeling with my family and friends, but it was up to Mr. Colbert to get that message across to the jury. I must say although I was in a fragile state of mind and felt physically ill throughout the jury trial, seeing Mr. Colbert fight and pray for my son during trial gave me hope and strength. He tried everything in his power and within the rules of the law to save my sons future and allow him one more chance at life. Mr. Colbert kept encouraging my son and I and said "we will win, we will beat this" with a smile on his face. Throughout the trial, Mr. Colbert looked back at me several times as I was sitting in the courtroom hoping and praying and trying so desperately not to break down. He winked at me, smiled and motioned that everything will be alright. I never once gave up hope and in between recessions he would tell me "mom, it's going to be ok". I cannot even begin to describe how that made me feel and how much it comforted me during the most stressful time of my life. I know that Mr. Colbert fought to the end and he never lost sight of my son, his client, whose life depended on him. Although the jury found my son guilty of reckless driving and charged him with the max fine of $2,500, they did not charge him with jail time at all. So, my son was able to walk out of court a free man, so he could continue to dedicate himself to our country and focus on his career and his life as a whole. My son walked out of court with a second chance at life and we will never ever forget Mr. Colbert and all he has done for us. From the bottom of my heart, I will forever be grateful to Mr. Colbert and I will never forget the visual of seeing Mr. Colbert sitting next to my son with his fingers crossed praying for the best outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Colbert to anyone who is looking for an intelligent, confident and encouraging attorney to represent them. Thank you Mr. Colbert for being such an amazing beautiful person. I will always remember you. Sincerely, Jacqueline

Attorney's like this are hard to come by these days!!

Damon is nothing but the truth! I have never met a defense attorney so passionate about what he does. I wouldn't even know where to begin with my story and experience but I will say, he was an angel sent from heaven in my criminal case. I highly suggest, If you are in need of defense in the Dmv area,... to contact him asap!

I DO NOT USUALLY DO REVIEWS BUT . . .

Damon would not accept a WIN BONUS! A family member had a serious charge and was facing incarceration. From the beginning I liked Damon but I thought he might be too nice to handle the case like I wanted it handled. BOY was I WRONG. When you go to Damon's office (we met him on a Sunday morning I ...think), he is nice, easygoing, charming, laid back (he had flat screen TVs all over the office and was watching movies and news and ESPN). In court he is ferocious. He had that cop's head spinning like THE EXORCIST. If you have the money get Damon on your case. Virginia is no joke.
