Thank you!

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.

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.

GENERAL RECKLESS DRIVING NOT GUILTY

I got a general rd charge in va beach ocean front. Ms. Coltrain defended me in court very very well and asked the cops and judge a lot of questions. And she told me what to say and not say. Even though we had a strict judge, katherine still pulled through and got my charge reduced to failure to maint...ain lane. I only paid a little bit of money too. Throughout the whole process I felt like she got it under control and I would recommend her to anyone who gets a RD charge. I was very nervous when I got the charge but Im glad I call her.

Great attorney!

I was referred to Katherine from a different attorney for my reckless driving ticket. She gave me a nice detailed consultation. Her prices were very reasonable so I hired her to defend me on the reckless driving case. I did everything she recommended. Judge was unreasonably strict on me compared to e...veryone else he saw that morning but I still only managed a very low fine even though I was charged. She offered to give me a really good price to appeal so I decided to have her appeal it for me. I ended up getting it dropped to speeding over 20 and only paid 150$ more in fine than what I originally would have. Overall the experience was very nice. She is respectful and knowledgeable.

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."
