Family Closure was Guge!

Mr. Colombo was very strategic and instrumental in bringing to a close the situation which was the most horrible for my family and I. His concern and professionalism in dealing with our loss will always be remembered and will forever be one of the most important legal affiliations of our lives.

A true gentleman

After speaking with Michael Colombo, I felt calm, reassured, and knew he had my best interest at heart. I wasn't treated like a client; I was treated like a human being. In my family's time of need Michael was there.

I just want to thank Attorney Michael Colombo for his accuracy , dedication, understanding, attention to detail, discipline and focus on communication with me as his client. Michael Colombo is one of the best attorneys that I’ve had a chance to affiliate myself with. If you want an attorney that will... do as follows: 1) Read and prepare 2) Fully believe in his client 3) Understand the laws and prepare you for trial 4) Operate as a law abiding attorney 5) Provide you debriefing of your case and provide you with everything you need to get your life back together. Look him up in Fort Myers!!!! Thank you Mike you are and amazing attorney!

DEDICATED, HARD WORKING and HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH THE LAW

Attorney Colombo handled a case for my daughter. She had been falsely accused of a crime by her ex husband. Attorney Colombo did not stop until he found justice for her. We went through 2 other criminal attorneys until we finally found him. He never gave up on her. Even when she gave up on herself... and was feeling completely defeated. He encouraged and guided her throughout the entire process. There are a lot of people out there that will take your money and do the minimum work. Attorney Colombo is not like that. Sure, he has to get compensated too but will truly fight for you until the end!!!

  • 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.
