She fights for her clients

Katherine Coltrain has been an amazing lawyer. In November 2025 I had 3 misdemeanors that she was able to dismiss and 2 felonies in January 2026. She was able to work with the prosecutor to dismiss one and drop the other to a misdemeanor. She did an exceptional job at arguing my sentencing. I would h...ire Ms Coltrain again in a heartbeat for any legal advise or representation.

Amazing Lawyer!

Mrs.Coltrain was very helpful and straight forward for what she needed from me to help me with my reckless driving case. She responds quickly if you are in need of any questions or concerns. Do not hesitate to hire her, you will not regret it!

Client

Mrs. Coltrain represented me as a client for a DUI case. She is well versed in VA laws and regulations concerning DUIs. Her experience is apparent as she listened to my case and explained areas and things she would look for procedurally on the body cam footage. At my trial she was well spoken and had... my best interest in mind which resulted in a favorable outcome. It was a pleasure to work with her during this trying event in my life.

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

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."
