Thomas Luke Colter

If you need a lawyer I would definitely recommend Tom Colter. With outstanding warrants and charges in Florida, I had to turn myself into jail and he helped me clear everything up. I live out of state, explained my case to him & he told me exactly what to do and the outcome he wanted. We planned my a...rrival into Florida where I turned myself in for the warrant. Tom managed to get me out of jail within 24 hours as promised! Mr Colter & his assistant Grace constantly kept me updated with information and still answer questions for me a month after my case is resolved! If it wasn’t for Colter law group I would still be eating bologna sandwiches in a cell, Thanks Tom!

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.

Tom Colter has represented and helped me through some of the toughest times of my life over the past couple years. This is one of the most upstanding men I have ever met and words can not express how grateful I am for him and his staff for not only going before me but walking with me as well as teach...ing me to stand up and fight against injustice. Sometimes bad things happen that are out of our control and God uses Mr. Colter, his firm and even his family in ways that I am BEYOND grateful for. They are professional, kind and extremely gifted in all that they do. I thoroughly thank God for them on a regular basis and highly recommend Mr. Colter!

Tom and his law firm have worked professionally and efficiently in handling our case. He has been able to negotiate extensions with the prosecutor in order to give our daughter time to get her life in order and turned around for the better. Tom stays in touch with us on a regular basis and have had s...everal face to face meetings with our family explaining all the possibilities with the case. He does not pull any punches on what the law says and what could happen with the drug charges. He very calmly lays out every scenario possible within the system and explains it very clear to all of us, including the parents. I firmly believe that this was the best choice we could hope for to defend my daughters case.

From the very first time I contacted this attorneys office I was very pleased with their attention. After meeting with Thomas Colter, I realized that it was a person I could trust. His services were excellent, caring and very professional. I would recommend Mr. Colter and his staff to anyone I know.... We are very satisfied and happy with the results.
