A satisfying experience

Ms. Coltrain is a total Pro in her field & did everything she said she would do. If you are looking for someone that is "on the ball" , and has the experience of someone twice her age: Katherine Coltrain is who I recommend . In my case, my charge was dismissed & now I'm having it expunged to ...clear my record .

Forever grateful!

I have managed to stay out of trouble (for the most part) throughout my life, but I have never experienced this situation. To be arrested and accused of sexual assault and battery was an embarrassing and emotionally hurtful event that transpired at no fault of my own. Attorney Coltrain treated me w...ith care; she listened and gave honest feedback. Initially, I was not in a positive state of mind, but I eventually calmed down after talking to Attorney Coltrain, and everything about my possible outcomes was explained to me. She understood the mission and proved me innocent when the time came. Her questioning of the plaintiff helps prove my innocence. This case may seem like another one to her or others, but my career, reputation, and freedom were in peril. Attorney Coltrain was excellent and thorough. Everyone knew who she was, and she was respected in the court. I hope to never get into another problem with the law, but if I ever do, I hope to have Attorney Coltrain represent me (I will hire her for my Expungement). Thank you

Awesome lawyer who brings great results

Katherine displayed nothing but professionalism and optimism from the first moment I spoke with her. She was on top of everything and was able to get my reckless speeding case dismissed. I can confidently say that she is the lawyer you want in your corner.

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."
