Posted by Ryan | July 16, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

She earned my trust and it paid off!

Colleen was nothing short of one of the best referrals I have ever had. As one who is unfamiliar with getting in trouble, or having a need for a defense attorney, a trusted friend had immediately sent me her info. After a a few phone calls to her and a few others, she hands down was the most reasona...ble and understanding, but more importantly, realistic. That call established a trust to make the move to hire her for my defense and I have not been disappointed. She was realistic from the first contact and through my entire process, never gave me a false hope or expectation. As I am ending my process, she has delivered better than my expectations. She has also been responsive, communicative, and willing to educate me at every moment. I am grateful for her always responding to my texts and answering my calls and always putting me at ease about the process. Realistically no defense attorney can make a promise of wiping everything away, but it was the expectation and goals she set after a thorough vetting of my situation and setting realistic goals that gave me the confidence to hire her. Again as we are closing out everything, I am being left with better than one would expect, a smooth experience, and an attorney willing to commit her time to educate and walk one through the process. I am forever grateful for getting a person I respect and trust at the end of my own experience. I would proudly recommend her to anyone I care for that may need her help in the future.
