STAY AWAY!

I researched attorneys before hiring Tom Colter and the only good thing about him is his tech/PR team. He will take every cent you make and hang you out to dry. No one there owns up to their mistakes and it’s appalling that he uses his veteran status to screw other veterans over.

Worst representation of a client ever.

Worst mistake I could've made hiring this firm , they will take every cent you have and still wont fight for what they promised they would. I wouldn't recommend this law office to anyone.

Beware….

Do not waste your money. Thomas Colter will run you dry and then turn around and not fight for you.

I hired this law firm and it was a huge mistake. There is no true representation. Please don't make the mistake of hiring them. It will cost you a lot and nothing done. They have a bad reputation among other attorneys. Hire someone else.

Unprofessional Scam Artist

Wouldn’t recommend Law Patriot to my worse enemy. Absolute scam artists. Billing for their mistakes and unwilling to hold theirselves accountable to their errors and omissions but will gladly charge you for their mistakes. Do not waste your time, find a professional firm.

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.
