Excellent Lawyer

During my experience with attorney Colbert, she was always professional and responded to all my questions in a timely manner. She not only explained the process in great detail, but also gave me realistic expectations. Her HONEST expert advise allowed me to settle my case on the terms that were most... favorable for me. Thank you.

Amazing

Dia is an amazing attorney. She took the time to explain the process and was always available to answer our many questions. If you are looking for an attorney to handle your bankruptcy, she is the one! We are grateful for all of her hard work!

She gets the job done

Dia Colbert was truly a blessing from above. She thoroughly explained the bankruptcy process, and guided me along the way. I am forever grateful for her, and highly recommend her. Thank you for everything!

She Saved me in my Divorce

Long story short, my prepaid legal attorney through my employer, Dade County missed significant retirement accounts of my wife, a Federal Employee, which severely jeopardized me giving away too much of my pension. My prepaid legal attorney laughed at me when I informed her that she made an error. ...DIA COLBERT, was a God sent. She came in just before trial and saved my life. She saw the case through completion, was much more reasonable than the other horrible attorney, but efficiently handled my case AND COMMUNICATED WITH ME! The last part was most important, as my former counsel never returned calls and never discussed my case with me the way that Dia did.

Worth A Contact

I contacted attorney Ms. Dia Colbert for consultation based on the glowing reviews AVVO and was pleasantly surprised that the reviews were accurate. My initial contact, via both voice message and email, was returned promptly and courteously. My concerns were addressed thoroughly as well as honestly,... with a blunt frankness. I was given clear and concise options to consider but never felt over- or underwhelmed by which direction to take. Longer after the consultation I was able to surprisingly retain most of the information provided to me. As with anything in consumer life, it is always best to comparison shop in order to make a truly informed decision and attorney Colbert should be among your top considerations.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
