Bob Coleman was our attorney on a two-year child custody case. Thanks to him, we "won" the case due to his capable, clear presentation of the circumstances involved in our case. Bob is extremely thorough, professional and ethical. One of the other attorneys even referred to bob's performance as "...
"I have known Bob Coleman for over 25 years. We have been opposing counsel initially on criminal cases and for the past 15-20 years on domestic matters. He always proves himself as an outstanding attorney on all matters. He is always well prepared and represents his clients well. And he is well respected among attorneys and judges alike for his integrity and professionalism."
"Bob is a zealous advocate for his clients. He is professional and courteous to opposing counsel and I have referred him cases on numerous occasions. Bob is a truly top notch domestic relations attorney."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer, but I am a little bias. Bob and I have practiced law together for 15 years. Each day, I see Bob's car is the last in the parking lot. He works harder for each and every client, whether in Divorce, Personal Injury, Custody or Businness Law. He was voted a Super Lawyer and he is one! He Recently was elected as President of the Hall and Dawson County Bar Association. Bob presents those outstanding motions and trials that Judges can follow and that our clients can afford. He is a great advocate as well as a great father, husband and friend. We are grateful to have him here at Coleman and Chambers, LLP. Rob Chambers"
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I know of Bob Coleman's work in Personal Injury and Domestic Relations litigation. One thing is for sure, when Bob is prosecuting a personal injury or wrongful death case, he will not permit insurance companies to take advantage of his clients. He is one of the legal elites in the Hall County/Northeast Georgia area."
