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

Effective and thurough

Mrs. Coltrane was very efficient in her advice and recommended tasks prior to my hearing, through following her guidance she was able to have my reckless driving ticket reduced to a speeding ticket. She is very thorough and gets results!

Excellent lawyer for reckless driving defense

Great to work with and an effective lawyer! I was charged with reckless driving for speeding 29 mph over in a school zone. She gave great advice on preparing for court, and was able to get the judge to knock down a potential class 1 misdemeanor to an improper driving traffic infraction. Would totally... recommend Katherine!

The Greatest!

I just wanted to take some time to thank Katherine for everything she's done for me. I was completely thrown for a loop when I was given a reckless driving ticket earlier this year. When I consulted with her, she gave me all the proper steps to take as well as reassured me that everything was going t...o be fine. The judge reduced my charge to an improper moving violation and instead of the much heavier charges associated with reckless driving I only had to pay a relatively small fee. I appreciate Katherine and would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking some relief from what I seem to be an unfair court system.

Lawyer

When I hired her and I knew she was the one with the history she has and the challenges she has faced made my case look very easy (DV) she was put on my case very last minute but truly took her time to help me with this process and I’m thankful for her she gave me the option to talk to her on the wee...kend to see if I had any questions and always kept in communication with me if you need a good lawyer it’s her

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."
