Intoxicated In Public

Working with Mrs. Coltrain was as smooth and easy as it gets! I first called about an inquiry and she called me back the same day. She listened intently as I described the situation and gave upfront and honest feedback as to what to expect. Throughout the process of my case, she and her assistants ...were all very communicative and more than helpful with questions and concerns that I had as well as providing me updates on the case as it moved forward. I never once felt as if I was "in the dark" about what was going in or what was going to happen next. In the end, she was able to get my case dismissed entirely! I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing legal assistance.

Best Lawyer

A couple of months ago I received a ticket for having a cellular device in my hand while operating a vehicle. Katherine took my case head on! She was professional, understanding, and very informative on what I needed to do on my behalf before our court date. As nervous as I was with what some may say... is a “minor ticket”, she went above and beyond for me. I highly recommend hiring her for any of your defending needs.

Highly recommend and very knowledgeable in handling my case

Mrs Coltrain did an excellent job in handling my reckless driving case and she did a great job communicating with me about the details of the case and what to expect.

Felony Violation Probation - Best outcome !

Ms. Katherine is amazing. I did a few consultations with different lawyers because my case was unique. Even from the first call, she made sure I was feeling as comfortable and anxious-free as possible given the circumstances. She listened to my situation and informed me of the possible outcomes. O...f course, she can’t guarantee a specific result, but she was great with managing my expectations. Her former position in the prosecutor’s office gave her experienced insight into how the other side saw my case and how we should proceed and what to expect. Katherine was articulate and firm when speaking on my behalf in the courtroom. In the end, she was able to secure a result that I am EXTREMELY satisfied with. Katherine and her team are amazing. Thanks again !

Katherine Coltrain is the one you want representing you!

I reached out to Katherine about my photosafe speeding traffic ticket citation and she walked me through the process of if I should contest or pay the fine. We ultimately decided to contest the citation and went to court to plead my innocence. Katherine put on a great argument for the judge and ended... up getting my case dismissed! Throughout this inconvenient situation she was there every step of the way and answered any questions I had. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. 10/10 would recommend

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I worked alongside Katherine when I was a former prosecutor, and later I tried cases against her as a defense attorney. She then left to become a defense attorney herself, and she is an incredible advocate for her clients. Her time as a former prosecutor serves her well, allowing her to analyze a case for its strengths and weaknesses from every side. She is confident and outspoken in the courtroom, and well respected by the judges she regularly appears before."

Relationship: Co-worker

"Katherine is an amazing advocate. She was so good as Commonwealth Attorney (Prosecutor) in case I tried against her I thought it would be better to have her on my side than have to fight against her in court. Katherine is your go-to attorney for any criminal matters from Felonies to Reckless Driving. And because she was lives on the Peninsula she is your definite smart choice if you are facing charges in Hampton, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Newport News or Gloucester."
