Posted by Giovanni C. | August 16, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Mrs. Colbert is truly a blessing for any father fighting for their kids

This review is from the heart. I was going through a divorce with my ex-wife for over 2 years and I was being alienated from my daughter. Within those 2 years I hired the offices of Alex Borrell in Miami Lakes. I had 3 different attorneys assigned on my case because all 3 either quit or got fired. I ...had already paid $4500 and they told me that in order for them to keep working I had to pay another $4500!!! I could barely afford to survive, let alone afford to keep paying them those astronomical fees. I felt helpless because I felt that I would never get to see my daughter again because I didn't have the money to fight for my kid. As a father, it was the worst feeling you could have. Once the attorney quit my case, I was just trying to find a lawyer that could atleast work with me and see that I'm just father fighting for his daughter. I went on Google and came across Mrs. Dia Colbert and noticed how she had been accredited with the Presidents Pro Bono Service Award for her commitments to the community and her outstanding service. She has a tremendous background in being an attorney and when I reached out and told her my situation. She was more then ready to help me. Since I hired Mrs. Colbert, my case has been getting the attention that it deserves. Not only that, Mrs. Colbert communicates with her clients. She has always contacted me, even just to check on me to make sure I'm okay. What attorney does that in 2021??? I'm finally going to start having the opportunity to have 50/50 custody and equal time sharing with my daughter once the process starts. I would have never got this far if it wasn't for Mrs. Dia Colbert. She is a blessing and if you ever need an attorney that actually cares about you and not just taking your money, she is definitely the right attorney for you. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of help. Mrs. Colbert. I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart for your hard work and dedication. I don't know what I would do without you. You have a client for life.
