Pass

She runs the biggest racket of a law firm in Manatee County. Plus, she hates veterans so if you ever served in the military or know anybody who died, I wouldn’t recommend going with her.

Criminal law

My wife hired colleen when I was in jail for habitual driving without a license. She supposedly called the da in front of my wife and worked out a deal for me to serve 90 days with adjudication with held. I had 76 days in at the is time my wife had to move in with her parents and put our house up for... rent to pay her and soon as she got the money we hardly heard from her I got sentenced to 6 months and then I had to do an extra month because one of the charges had a cash bond on it and she never told me to revoke it. So I didn't get the 30 days credit for that charge because the bind was still posted. I ended up doing 7 months she was horrible about returning calls and didn't even show up for my most important court date sent someone else. I wouldn't use her for free again
