Top Notch Representation

After my car accident, the other driver's insurance company played games at every turn, claiming their insured was not at fault, or that they could not pay the claim because they could not contact or locate the other driver. Bob Coleman cut to the chase and filed a suit. After several low ball offers..., Bob continued to push back until I received a settlement that was way over anything I had anticipated. I am ecstatic with the outcome. Bob's paralegal, Cathy, was a pleasure to work with as well, and always kept me in the loop. If you have been injured in an accident, I would definitely recommend Bob Coleman.

Hire the best!

I retained Bob Coleman as my attorney when I was rammed in the rear of my Honda CRV while I was stopped at a traffic light with 3 cars stopped in front of me by a young man driving a large pickup truck. After filing a claim with my insurance company, the company called me to ask if I had retained... an attorney and I said no. Did I intend to hire an attorney, they asked. I replied, “Only if I have to.” They then made a small offer for a settlement which I rejected immediately. I was undergoing medical treatment already as my injuries necessitated months of physical therapy and I suffered great pain in my back, neck and upper torso. I decided I had to retain an attorney and began research to find the right one. In my professional life before retirement I had worked with numerous attorneys and knew what I was looking for, so I made an appointment to see Bob Coleman. Bob listened carefully, asked pertinent questions and agreed to represent me. This was a fortunate move on my part. Bob worked hard to protect my interests and get my settlement increase that paid all my medical bills and left a 100% increase over what I had initially been offered by the insurance company for my settlement for pain and suffering. I was also fortunate in having Bob’s paralegal, Diane Brown, working on my case. Diane is extremely competent and was persistent in staying in contact and keeping me informed every step of the way as my case progressed. As the medical bills mounted, I was concerned that my excellent credit score would be impacted by unpaid bills. She contacted them all and arranged deferred payment until settlement. She was a miracle worker whose negotiating lead to significantly lower final payments of all the medical bills. I am truly grateful for Bob and Diane for their stellar work. I have made two good friends as well as having a great legal firm if I need legal advice in the future. I would certainly again retain Bob Coleman to represent me.

Excellent Team

Bob Coleman and his associates, especially Diane Brown, all worked as an excellent team in providing services for my husband and me regarding a personal injury case. They were always responsive to our questions and concerns and communicated with us on a regular basis. Everyone was very personable and... made us feel comfortable through the entire process. I would highly recommend their firm.

Excellent Attorney

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 "...The Bob Show" based on how well he did in court. He was patient and supportive with us during the whole process. His ability to keep track of facts and tie things together is more than impressive. He kept us focused and organized, even when we would get burned out and tired. We can't recommend him enough!
