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.

Amazing experience

I recently used Katherine for a traffic violation where I had to appear in court. She was incredibly knowledgeable and provided me a list of things to do before the court date to increase my chances of a favorable outcome. On the day of court she was so kind and easy to talk to . She was able to g...et one charge dismissed and the other charge lowered so that I wouldn’t receive any points. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone in need of an attorney.

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 !

She is the best!!

I had a reckless driving ticket I was so worried about. She was very professional and kept me calm when I was upset. By me doing a few things she recommended and her speaking on my behalf She was able to get my ticket reduced down to improper driving.

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."
