Disbarred

I gave your site specifics a couple of years ago but you didn’t want to publish. Last year she was disbarred and you should have that highlighted across her face.

disbarred for good reason

Colleen presented herself as competent and knowledgeable. I interviewed multiple attorneys before hiring her and got personal recommendations. In 2018, she seemed to have her stuff together. Mid 2019 - 2020 became a nightmare to communicate with her. This also enraged and frustrated my ex and his att...orney. She would go silent for months at a time. Her incompetence and utter refusal to work prolonged my divorce by years. I ended up hiring someone new, but the damage Colleen did to the process had been done. Instead of calming tensions, Colleen made the whole divorce process a nightmare.

Don't choose her

She showed she cared about my case so much that after I paid the first amount of attorney fee and she failed three times in court, I was not sure if I should continue paying her. She threatened that if I stop paying, she would drop my case. Well, she didn't help me achieve anything in court, why shou...ld I trust her anymore? So I changed her immediately and I am so glad I did it because my next attorney helped me win the case that she messed up!

Extremelly dissapointed

If you want to have a lawyer who really looks after your case, then hire someone else. Colleen will sell herself as a vey competent and understanding lawyer but once under contract you have to chase her down to get a hold of her and when you do, she will make you feel you are a bother to her. Very di...sappointed with her services.

Highly Recommend!

I just finalized my divorce and I'm so thankful I had Colleen as my attorney. Throughout the process, she advocated for what was right without creating unnecessary animosity. She kept the best interest of my children and myself foremost. As difficult as divorce is, I felt safe knowing that Colleen... was in my corner.
