Wonderful Results!

I hired Bob in 2011 to help with my divorce proceedings. He & Diane, his paralegal, went above & beyond to get the settlement that I was entitled to. I ended up with a hefty alimony & child support package thanks to them. I also used them within the next couple of years when my oldest son chose to... live with me instead of having to go to his father's house every other weekend. Fast forward to November 2016. My ex-husband hit me with accusations of being mentally unstable & verbal & mental abuse to my 4 children. We ended up having to go through a full blown custody evaluation with psychological evaluations for myself & my ex-husband. This was no fun, as you can probably imagine. Bob & Diane were there every step of the way, encouraging me & giving me strength to keep going forward. Bob was always very honest & straight up with me. There was no fluff about it. I appreciated that he did that. Many times I would ask him what he would do in the same situation with his family. He was very open & honest, which put a very personal touch to the situation. He never made me feel like I was unimportant. He or Diane would always talk to me when I called the office, if they were in. If I had to leave a message, they were always very prompt in getting back in touch with me. They even called me after hours sometimes if they didn't get to talk to me during normal business hours. Diane would even go out of her way to meet me sometimes after work so I wouldn't have to drive to Gainesville to sign paperwork. We just finished our case & didn't have to go to court. Thank goodness! It was a long process & I'm so very thankful for Bob & Diane. I, once again, came out on top with gaining even more time with my children, more decision making authority & about $3500 per month in child support. (No mental issues either, but I already knew that :). I couldn't have asked for better representation than I received from the two of them. I highly recommend Bob for anyone who has any kind of legal issues. He & Diane are a wonderful team & I'm glad that I had them on my side. I hope that I don't have to engage attorneys again, but if I do, I will be calling Bob.

Great Team

If you want an honest, supportive legal team, this is the team for you. Divorce is a challenging time. Mr. Coleman and his paralegal Diane Brown made this process as easy as it could be. Mr. Coleman was very gracious as to my financial circumstances and did his best to work within my budget. What I... appreciated most about the process is that they were always looking out for my son’s best interest as well as mine. They managed my case with great integrity. There are not enough words to express my gratitude to them.

Best lawyer in town!!

If it was not for the hard work of Bob and his staff I would not be a father. I was with a lawyer who was so over her head. Then I found Mr Coleman. My wife had made up some of the uglyest lies about me and now a days its guilty until proven other wise. it took 18 months but after all there hard work.... I was proven innocent with full custody of my daughter. You never really know someone until you divorce them, and my Ex really showed her true colors. Bob trully saved my life. They know everyone in town and helped me prove my case to the point that the judge told my Ex she did it to herself. What a great feeling that was. If you need someone who will fight for you and someone who knows everyone in town than bob is your man. There is no better lawyer intown and trust me I know!! You cant go wrong here.

Mark of excellence when only the best will do!!

When my ex-wife filed a modification action, I hired Bob Coleman to not only help me through the legal battlefield I was facing, but also to help me straighten out the chaos in my life due to post-divorce communication and visitation issues. Bob and his staff worked with me through it all. Now I ha...ve an Order that has everything on a correct schedule with NO issues. Bob and the whole firm there have done an excellent job in getting this straight for me, the words of thanks just doesn't even begin to cover my appreciation to you guys! If you want the best lawyer team around, hire Coleman, Chambers & Rogers, LLP!

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.
