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.

Highly Recommend for Traffic Defense

I recently hired Katherine to represent our son in a reckless driving case, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She took the time to explain the legal process clearly and kept us informed every step of the way.... Her expertise and guidance helped us feel confident going into court. Most importantly, she achieved the exact result we were hoping for. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication to our son’s case. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone in need of strong, effective legal representation

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.

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 !

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."
