Katherine Coltrain is very caring and always strives for the best possible outcome

Katherine Coltrain is an amazing attorney. Very compassionate and caring of her clients. Katherine went above and beyond the call of duty for me. Katherine gave great advice and kept in contact with me on a regular basis. Retaining Katherine as your attorney will not disappoint. It will be ...the best decision you make. Outcomes were extremely positive.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your case and I’m glad we were able to achieve that outcome!

She saved me more than she knows.

Katherine was able to get me out of a 94/55 and a 58/35 charge. I am on probation, and have a 30 year suspended sentence, and if I were to be convicted of a single charge I would be given that prison sentence. Katherine saved me. She was able to get both charges completely dismissed. She works hard b...ehind the scenes, even if you don’t see her working. She went out of her way to save me. And for that, not even money can compensate her. Katherine isn’t just an attorney; rather, she’s someone who can save your life if you really need it. A single day in jail could’ve put me away for 30 years. She is a super-human.

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.

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."

Criminal defense lawyer | May 14

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."
