SO YOU AR LOOKING FOR A GREAT LAWYER--YOU FOUND HER

What makes a great defense attornery? 1. Someone who listens to you. 2. Someone who takes the time to examine and compare evidence . 3. Someone who answers phone calls and clearly responds to your concerns. And finally, works diligently to defend your interests both legally and financially. Ka...therine was hired late in the process making establishing a strong defense more difficult. Within 2 month, Katherine Coltrain buiilt a solid defense case and was able to convince a previously unwilling DA to negotiate a very reasonable offer. Thank God we found her. We just wish we had found her in the beginning of this ordeal.

Flawless Victory!

Not even two hours out of court and I’m making this review. Ms. Katherine walked into that courtroom like a force, and the respect she commands is something you feel instantly. I’m on probation, but she fought for me and got my charge completely dismissed with no violation. She didn’t just help me wi...n—she gave me peace, and made my birthday week unforgettable. If you or your loved ones ever need someone in your corner, Ms. Katherine is the one you want. She is the connect you want between client and the law. Plus she means business!

Client

Mrs. Coltrain represented me as a client for a DUI case. She is well versed in VA laws and regulations concerning DUIs. Her experience is apparent as she listened to my case and explained areas and things she would look for procedurally on the body cam footage. At my trial she was well spoken and had... my best interest in mind which resulted in a favorable outcome. It was a pleasure to work with her during this trying event in my life.

Criminal defense lawyer | May 16

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."
