Stand clear of the Drimmer

I was represented by Colette Drimmer in a criminal case and was very disappointed with the experience. Communication was poor, and I often felt left in the dark about the strategy and key developments in my case. She seemed unprepared during critical moments, and important evidence and witnesses I br...ought up were never addressed. After my case, I looked into her reviews and realized that many of them appear to come from colleagues or professional endorsers—not actual clients. My experience was vastly different from what those reviews suggest. Based on how my case was handled, I would not recommend her to others seeking serious and dedicated legal representation. If I was able, I'll put "0" stars.

Colette was amazing with helping me to score a huge victory in court.

During the process of dealing with Broward County Courthouse, Colette was driven with determination to overcome all accusations and charges from the State. Her professional and calm demeanor in the court room kept the faith level high as she Wisely represented my case. I'm happy and very grateful we ...scored a huge victory in court, my case was closed and removed. I highly recommend investing your time and money into a attorney that will invest into your case with confidence!

Worth every penny

I hired Colette Drimmer as my second lawyer, after my initial lawyer could not get me the plea deal that I wanted. I sent her an email at 7 am on a Wednesday morning and she got back to me within the hour. I was charged with a felony illegal dumping, my previous lawyer wanted me to take a 6 month pro...bation, 75 hours community service, and a withhold adjudication. Needless to say that deal was not in my best interest, so I did not take it. Thanks to Colette Drimmer, she was able to negotiate a plea deal of a withhold adjudication and only 1 Day Probation. No community service, No 6 Months Probation. I can’t say how much I appreciate Mrs. Colette Drimmer’s counsel services. To me she is absolutely the best there is.

A Personal Hero.

She was Professional, made all my options clear. Saving my and my families livelihood. A name I will personally remember and could not be any more thankful for what she has done for me. Helped me keep calm and collected when I felt the most helpless. Great attitude and ready for the task at hand help...ed drop a life-ending sentence to something manageable, my second chance at life was thanks to her commitment to this case.

The best of the best

I have never met an attorney with so much Compassion and devotion. Colette goes above and beyond the call of duty. I hired her on a misdemeanor case and it was nolle prosed. Then she represented me on a felony case that didn't even make it to the judge (no info'd). Colette is a consummate profess...ional who gets results. She will go to bat for you and her the compassion she has for her clients motivates her to get the best results. A legal defense warrior to the core. I am not a criminal, but she is my lawyer for life. I highly recommend her because she does not take any short cuts. 110% is what you will get. All the time, every time. Hector, PMD
