Colette handled my case with professionalism and knowledge. Her fees were far more reasonable than other attorneys and was always kept me informed of the process and results. Thank you

Best Lawyer

Colette did a brilliant job wih my case. She was efficient, smart and professional. Always returned my calls in a timely manner. She was an out of the box thinker and helped me get the results I wanted with my case which was a bit complicated. She had a great attitude the whole time and put me at ea...se during a very stressful time. I am forever grateful to Colette Drimmer JP

Could not be more grateful!!

How do we even begin to thank Colette Drimmer for the tremendous job she did in handling my 19 year old daughter’s DUI and Battery charge. As a direct result of Ms. Drimmer’s professionalism, knowledge of the law and her undeniable commitment to this case, she was able to get the Battery charge dism...issed and the DUI charge dropped to reckless driving. Her compassion and understanding of the repercussions and lifelong impact these charges would have had on my daughter were irrefutable. Her dedication to understanding all the details involved in the arrest and her unique ability to openly communicate with my daughter on a level that assured she was completely comfortable eased this very difficult and stressful ordeal. Ms. Drimmer was able to get the Prosecutor’s office to see the person my daughter is as opposed to merely another case on their docket. In my daughter’s words - “I was very comfortable working with Colette Drimmer. Within the three months she worked on my case she was able to turn this around from my worst nightmare to the biggest relief all due to her incredible determination and dedication. Not only was she supportive and encouraging but she also made me feel very comfortable, which to me is a huge aspect between an attorney and their client. She never let me down and I am proud to say she was the person to represent me. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.”

A great criminal defense attorney

Colette Drimmer demonstrated the most important professional factors when the fear of criminal prosecution began. Standing alone, she treated me with dignity using my name and said that she was there for me....and she was true to her word from the beginning to the end. The case was a traffic incid...ent that included a felony charge of "Fleeing and Eluding a Police Officer" and a misdemeanor charge of "Resisting Arrest without Violence". In court, the Judge said I was lucky to be assigned to Colette Drimmer where I learned later that her years as a Public Defender gave her the practical courtroom experience, extensive legal knowledge, and community involvement that would eventually protect me from imminent long term incarceration. As my case moved forward, Colette Drimmer's professional experience provided the tools to consolidate all charges to one judge. Then, she arranged for the dismissal of several citations and finally singlehandedly negotiated a Felony Pretrial Intervention Program for a charge excluded from the program. Because Colette Drimmer negotiated with the State Attorney the Felony Pretrial Intervention Program, the "Felony Title" will not be affixed to my name which would have denied me the right to vote, own a weapon, obtain any professional state license, in this case the driving privileges, employment, and more. I knew and feared that a "Felony Title" would adversely alter the quality of my life forever. Criminal Defense Attorney Colette Drimmer protected me from State prosecution and for that I am grateful.
