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!

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!

#1 Child Custody Lawyer

"Out of the abundance of the heart a mouth speaks" says the Bible. It is with deep appreciation for John R. Coleman,Jr. ( Bob) that we write this review. It is due to his expertise in law and character that we have our 11yr. old grandson with us today....safe from harm and very loved. Mr. Coleman not... only helped our poor, exasperated young mom, but he rescued the child ( about 18mos. old at the time) from a terrible situation. Then Mr. Coleman looked into the future and fixed it so the child would "forever" be safe, even if some thing 'fatal' should happen to the mom (our beloved only daughter)....which unfortunately and unforeseen ,...sadly it did. We lost her last year from complications in an auto accident. Had it not been for Mr. Coleman's vision of "what-if" in the future....we would have lost our precious grandson also. Thank God for Mr. Coleman's wisdom and foresight . He is not only an excellent attorney but a fine, honest man , and worth his weight in pure gold. When he is your lawyer...you'll have THE BEST ! His whole team is wonderful. We are truly thankful we had him and his team on our side.....he gave a little boy a better life indeed...and secured! Our grandson is turning into a fine young man. THANK YOU, Bob Coleman!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
