Bob Coleman review

I just have to express again how much I appreciate the manner in which you handled my divorce. Your initial consultation, your negotiations with the opposing party, your methods during the mediation, your communications throughout the process, the manner in which you put my mind at ease during an ext...remely difficult time in my life, and your kindness, all exceeded my expectations.

Posted by anonymous | December 04, 2011 | Child Custody

Outstanding attorney looking out for your best interest!!

I hired Bob Coleman in August 2009 to represent me in a sudden and unexpected child custody issue. From the moment I scheduled an appointment with his paralegal, I experienced a sense of security knowing they really cared about my case and the welfare of my child. Upon meeting with Mr. Coleman, he ...was very knowledgeable in explaining to me the need for an emergency hearing and what it entailed. He was very thorough in preparing for our day in court. Bob took the extra time to do extensive research to make sure we had pertinent information and necessary witnesses to testify. The judge ruled in our favor due to Mr. Coleman really doing his homework, being aggressive when he needed to be, and expressing the concerns I had shared with him in a professional manner. When the time came for our custody and visitation rights to be revisited, we were able to settle out of court without a lengthy trial. Mr. Coleman extensively went through my divorce decree bringing several items to my attention I had not thought about. He took the time to make recommendations on what changes we could make to work in the best interest of my child. He was also patient to answer any questions I had on updating my original decree and explaining the legal terminology I did not understand. I would highly recommend the legal services of Bob Coleman. He is top notch, really knows his stuff, and takes time to listen to what his client is actually telling him!!

ZADAMSKY VS ZADAMSKY

Bob is a good person if you have him on your side.He is very agressive,right to the point.Fought for everything I wanted and more.Worked with me to keep the cost down.He informed me of all my options. He fought for time with my kids.Ive never been to court before in my life,I feel like the people at... Coleman and Chambers helped me out in a good way while I was going through a very bad time in my life. And his staff are very nice and polite people,they make you feel comforable. And during mediation I got to spend 6 hours with his little helper (Anne Banford) who is not bad to look at ,and will work her butt off for you .And if ever I have to go to court again I would use Bob Coleman him and his staff are good people,I cant say a bad word about them.He was worth every penny. And anyone who reads this who needs a great lawyer Bob Coleman is the man.Thank you for all you did for me (Bob Coleman and Anne Banford) Your friend Frank Zadamsky.

Excellent attorney

I have seen Mr. Coleman try hundreds of child abuse and neglect cases. He has always been very professional, always willing to work with all parties involved and to keep them well informed of what was going on with each case that he was involved with. Sometimes as clients we don't think our attorney ...represents us in a way that we think is best for us and we tend to go and do what we think is the right without the approval from our attorney and then we do something that negatively affects our case and we want our attorney to undo what we did and then we want to blame them when they can't. The one thing that I can attest to is that Mr. Coleman is very professional and always represents his clients with the utmost integrity. I would highly recommend Mr. Coleman to anyone that need excellent representation.

Positive Feedback

For quite some time I have been contemplating the most appropriate medium to communicate an experience that I had with John R. Coleman and his associates. When I found this site I was delighted as it provided that opportunity. At last, I would be able to share my story with others and provide testame...nt as to how this man and his staff of seasoned professionals were able to rectify a tumultuous, gut-wrenching situation to restore order and sanity in my life and the lives of my children. I actually met Mr. Coleman some years ago and had been impressed with his unique concern for others as well as his capacity to work through relentless and difficult dilemmas in a way that left all parties with their dignity intact. When I enlisted the services of Mr. Coleman, I felt that he personally stepped in when the ‘basket of life’ had spilled over. He, ultimately, was able to restore sanity and order to a chaotic and, what seemed to be, an impossible situation. You see, I went through a contentious divorce after being married for 23 years. During this time I have never known stress, confusion and uncertainty of this magnitude - ever! I was deeply impressed by the attentiveness of Mr. Coleman and his colleagues and their ability to represent me and honor my wishes during this difficult time. One of my greatest desires in the divorce was to minimize the trauma of this process for my children. I believe that Mr. Coleman successfully achieved this as he is also a good father, husband and family-minded man which afforded him an important perspective on the sanctity of family stability. On a weekly basis I would receive supportive phone calls, letters and e-mails from his staff and from Mr. Coleman personally. His outreach to me was always caring, sensitive and advisory keeping me abreast of developments and progress. In fact, it was not unusual for him to contact me after hours when circumstances had become so critical. On one occasion he contacted me from his daughter’s track meet! As this difficult transition came to a closure I believe that he, ultimately, facilitated a fair resolution for me as well as for my ex-wife. I have no regrets in his handling of my case for he brought to rest a tragically perfect storm in my life and he did so with class while also maintaining the dignity of all parties involved. My accolades could never be sufficient for his representation and personal support. My deepest appreciation is extended to a first class man, staff and law firm…Coleman & Chambers . Kudos to all!! Most sincerely, Carl Hood
