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 !

REVIEW

Ms. Katherine went above and beyond my expectations!! I had never needed a criminal attorney before, I was very nervous!! Katherine kept in touch with me with everything she did or what was to happen next!! She was very strong in court!! She came highly recommended, and I definitely highly recommend ...her!! Hopefully I will never need Katherine again, but if I ever need a lawyer she will be my 1st call!! Not only is she a awesome lawyer, understanding person, very professional, and she will not break your bank account!!

Reckless Driving

Mrs. Coltrain and her assistant were very professional, punctual, and easy to work with from my initial call until my court appearance for reckless driving. She gave me some things to do prior to the court date which the judge appeared to consider in my favor. In the end, the outcome was exactly wh...at I hoped for: reduced to a speeding ticket for 9 mph over. Certainly better than the misdemeanor I was facing for 28 mph over. At the end of the day, the easy answer is to follow the speed limit, but if you find yourself trying to navigate the legal system because you made a stupid mistake, I would highly recommend hiring Mrs. Coltrain to represent you.

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!

I can't thank her enough.

The highlight of this process is that I had what felt to be an unbeatable case. My driving record is horrible, this is my 3rd offense which was a complete accident. Regardless, Katherine and I decided the only request I had was no jail time, and she saw it through. We walked into court and she pleade...d my case for me with Power, Determination, and Respect that I believe the judge admired. As the last breathes were taken before I passed out from nervousness, the judge honored Katherine's request to punish me simply by a higher fine. I felt as though I was in a movie. None of it felt real and I was terrified from the time i woke up to my arrival at the bench. She is definitely worth the investment in her time. I can't thank her enough.

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."
