The loudest Lawyer in the court room

This Lawyer won't fight for you he will work against you by hiding police misconduct. If you ask why he won't even articulate a reason why. He has a pending Lawsuit that's related.

Great Lawyer

January 1, 2023 I caught a case dealing with my family. Lawyer Kolbo took my case on. We met in February where we discussed my situation. He showed a great deal of empathy. Let me know what the worst case scenario would be and the best case scenario would be. He came up with a game plan and executed ...it. When we went to court, I left only having to do anger management classes and my case should fall off my record. I would definitely recommend him. He responds quickly and even will answer your phone call at 7 o’clock at night. Thank you so much for your help!

Thayer was the best. he always answered my questions thoroughly. And explained the entire process really well to me. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer!

Very thorough

I hire Thayer to represent me during the hearing to keep my license. I kind of just expected someone just to show up and just be present but he actually not only showed up but investigated and researched my case. Ultimately having it dismissed. Thank you now I get to keep my my license which in my... business is paramount.

Amazing

Mr. Kolbo was the BEST attorney I've ever worked with. He actually listened to me and was quick with getting the very best outcome possible for me with my case. Hopefully I never have to hire another criminal attorney but if I did, he would be the only lawyer I would want to hire. I really appreciate... the work he put in and am very thankful that he represented me so well.

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.
