Best lawyer you could ask for!

I was originally charged with a first-offense DUI, facing possible jail time dependent upon my blood draw results. On top of that, I had crashed into another vehicle. At first, my case was looking a bit rough with my high BAC level and body cam footage. However, Mr. Colbert was confident in defending... me and it showed! He got my DUI lowered to a reckless driving with NO license suspension, nor additional jail time! It is clear he knows his stuff. I was antsy when my case was pushed back before and up to be postponed once again. Despite that, he reassured me that he has all the patience in the world and will fight for me to have the best results. Throughout my case, he was super organized and quick with sending any updates, materials, and responding to my messages no matter what time of day it was. I also appreciated how he tells it to you straight, whether it is good or bad. He made sure I understood everything I needed to do and never left me in the dark about anything. My family initially planned to stick to attorneys that our friends and family referred to us, since we’d have an idea of how they work already. But I am SO glad I received a postcard of his face in the mail and took a leap of faith with him, despite not knowing anyone who had experience with him before! I knew I wanted Mr. Colbert as my attorney as soon as I got off the phone with him. 100% worth and recommend!

Awesome Criminal Attorney !!!

This amazing attorney Damon Colbert was sent to me on a post card from God !!!! When I tell you the courts make me nervous but he assured me to let him do the worrying and fighting. My son was facing 2 charges of peeping in a dwelling and driving on a suspended license. First of all he answered the ...phone on a holiday July 4th . secondly he went straight to work on my sons case after we retained him . And LAST but not LEAST the outcome was one case was DROPPED and the others DISMISSED !!! Glad to have him by my sons side for his attorney. Let him fight in the courts for you !!!!

BEST REPRESENTATION EVER

100 out of 5 stars! I was facing 20 years minimum for 2 felonies, Mr. Colbert and I took it to trial & I went home with only a misdemeanor and 4 months time served. Highly recommended, he left no stone unturned. Very efficient & observant. Thank you Damon!

God Sent

Words can not express my gratitude and appreciation of Mr. Colbert. I am a disabled veteran and had an unfortunate situation happen to me where I was arrested and could have been facing more jail time if i was found guilty, so my life was I'm complete shambles especially since I have a security clea...rance for my job which was in jeopardy of being revoked and also, i have a baby that is due any day now. With my back against the wall, I did like any other person would do, I hit my knees and prayed. The next day I received a flier in the mail and never knew keeping that flier would have been the best decision of my life. Mr. Colbert had sent out a flier and I normally don't read but this time, something told me to read it. I gave Mr Colbert a call and he understood my situation thoroughly. I was sold I wanted him as my lawyer to defend me but he encouraged me to talk to other lawyers and if any of them gave me a better feeling that I had with him go with them no hard feelings. That there shows so much about his character, not only he is understanding but he also want you to go and get other opinions before spending the money on him. I did as he said and none of the other 6 lawyers I talked to gave me the reassurance that my best interest would be met so I called Mr. Colbert and we went from there. He is super knowledgeable of Virginia law, communication skills are top notch but the way he explains and attack your worries are unparalleled. I had the pleasure of Mr Colbert defending me yesterday in court and prior to seeing the judge, I was 100% sure I was going to jail or I was going to take the plea deal that was offered. Mr. Colbert came in with a strategy that put all that to rest and we went from there. When I tell you he is surgical in the courtroom that would be a understatement. The way he presented his case with facts, with law references and even did research to find cases that were similar to mine that ultimately lead to my case being dismissed by the judge. He is truely the Johnnie Cochran of our time and I will recommend him 10 times out of 10 to anyone who are in need of legal representation. If you do have the pleasure of working with Mr Colbert, don't worry but trust the process and you will know and understand that you are in great hands.

I highly recommend Damon for anyone in need of criminal defense representation.

I contacted Mr. Colbert for legal assistance when my son was detained in Alexandria, VA for gun possession. I chose him based on his high ratings from Avvo, and I was not disappointed. Damon exceeded my expectations from the start. He promptly returned my call within an hour and offered a free consul...tation. Even though he was in court that day, he immediately began working on my case. Damon is a consummate professional and a brilliant legal mind. He provided me with excellent legal advice and kept me informed of any critical updates throughout the process. Thanks to his efforts, my son was not detained any longer than necessary, despite the judge's wishes. If you need a tenacious advocate who knows the law, Damon is the right person for the job. I highly recommend him.
