AMAZING

Mrs. Coltrain and Kelli F. did an amazing job with my fail to yield case. Mrs. Coltrain is knowledgeable, professional, and communicative. She was able to get my case dismissed. I know each case is different, but I am so thankful for my outcome. Thank you!!!!

Outstanding, Caring Service!

Katherine and Kelli, her assistant were an answer to a prayer! My son had never had a ticket much less reckless driving ticket. Katherine was with us from the start calming our fears and representing our son. She gave us detailed instructions on how he could volunteer (even gave us a list) to expr...ess his regret to the city of Virginia Beach. She had us get a calibration, which showed he was not driving at the speed that he was ticketed for, and she also had him take the REDAP course, and this was before we ever set foot in the court room. Katherine supported my son and myself 100 percent, even filing an appeal when she felt the first ruling was not justified. My son will still pay his ticket and court fees, however without the help of Kathleen and Kelli it could have been much, much worse! We highly recommend her if you are in need of a lawyer!!

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."
