Thomas Luke Colter

My husband and I were bullied and harassed by an idiot neighbor renting for 2 years. He said he was the man for the job and that I could not find a better lawyer. He took 10,000 from us and did nothing on my behalf and he wanted more!! If I had more money I would of hired another lawyer to sue his... a$$. He has so many issues himself and carries them into his business.

Dont hire this guy. I hired him for a child custody case and two felonies. This guy will drain you finacially before ever doing any legal work. Paid him 17k and he made one court appearance and that was a disaster. My pro se ex wife was laughing at him, it was that bad. Needless to say, i found ...other representation after that but he refused to provide any refund. Even his office agreed that they didn't do the things they billed me for. He is a malicious bully who likes to put down his clients. Don't hire this guy, he is a really bad lawyer.

To start with I came in to the office of Colter Law Group and the atmosphere from the beginning was very bland and uncomfortable. I sat down with Mr. Colter and explained my goals, thoughts, expectations for a divorce from my wife. I won’t get in to all the specifics, I even brought in some works...heets to explain how and why my expectations were valid. After a few minutes Mr. Colter assured me he was the man for the job and not to worry about anything. I am a disabled vet with ptsd so worry is what I know how to do. We agreed on a price for the divorce of $3000. I asked Mr. Colter if I could make payments because I didn’t have the full amount and certainly didn’t think a no-fault divorce would cost that much. But since I was there and chose Mr. Colter because he is a veteran like myself, and because he said the $3000 was a discounted rate. I paid $1000 down and agreed to pay $1000 on the 15th the following month and $1000 on the 1st of the following month after that. So after about a week my wife received a letter in the mail saying Mr. Colter was my lawyer bla bla bla. Then a week or two later I receive a call from Lindsey saying I needed to come sign my divorce papers. So I took the 40 minute drive and when I arrived it was that same cold unwelcome feeling, and the girls at the counter we’re talking really loud about people not paying there bills and this and that. Finally Lindsey comes out and wants me to read and sign everything out in the open while standing at the counter. This would of been a really good time to turn up the charm and show some above and beyond service, like hey maybe this is why there is a conference room. So as I uncontrollably stand leaning against the counter top I notice that nothing was accurate. It was like she or someone just copy pasted a template and said thats good enough. I mean come on! Why did Mr. Colter assure me not to worry? Well my confidence in the lack of attention to detail and lack of communication was a complete and utter bomb on the confidence I was quickly loosing. I point out the many mistakes and Lindsey says she will be sure to correct them right away. I asked if she could please email me the fixed copy so I could look it over and not waste another 2.5 hours driving back and forth. She agreed and I left. A week passes and I never heard from her or ever received an email. But what I did receive was a bill for $1400 for the work that was done on drafting that divorce decree, you know the one that was all wrong and never fixed? But I sure did receive a call the morning my payment was due. And two days early on my final payment. Needless to say I parted ways with the Colter Law Group and wouldn’t recommend them to anyone at all. I did however find a local lawyer that laughed at the $3000 price tag of a no-fault uncontested divorce. I have gotten quotes from two other law-firms that will do it for a fraction of the price. But I haven’t received any kind of refund from the Colter Law Group as of yet and have contacted them more than once. I don’t see how they can justify charging me for anything other than the original letter that my wife received. Other than that everything was all wrong. And my time to me is more valuable. So I just received a phone call from Mr. Colter and they don’t want to resolve this matter, they want me to walk away and loose $2000. It’s a shame that that’s how they do business.

Hired Tom Colter for the defense of my 79-year father falsely accused in 2013. Tom never returned his calls and took every last penny he had. Tom did a "top sheet" review of my father's records and failed to properly defend, showing law enforcement lied in court and lied in police reports. Tom stat...ed he'd need another "$2,500.00" to go to trial and convinced my hearing impaired father to plead no contest. He broke my father's heart by not defending properly while allowing the monster prosecutors and cop to lie and send my father to prison for 5 years. This is a man with no criminal history. Thanks to Tom, my father, a kind and gentle man, is spending his twilight years in a prison. If you need a criminal defense attorney, seriously folks, find someone else.
