Excellent Attorney !

I am very satisfied with Tom Colter and the way in which he handled my cases. Tom handled a difficult criminal and a divorce case for me. Tom explained everything to me in detail and was very generous with his time. I will always be grateful and recommend Tom to anybody with legal trouble. Tom is ver...y helpful, kind, compassionate, knowledgeable attorney. Tom always returns calls in a timely fashion, and he even gave me his personal cell phone number so I could reach him after hours. I would highly recommend him to anyone with legal issues of any kind. Steve

Child custody,simple

Do not know where the 2 thousand dollars so far went due to not being able to get any kind of statement.Attitude changed after finding out about an abortion.Unethical and unprofessional for Tom to bring his religious views to work.Tom told us to fire him after finding out about an abortion. Tom told ...us we would lose in court because the other party has more money.Tom told us we would be laughed at in court.After disrespecting us as clients,Tom wanted us to pay him 29 hundred more dollars.You never,ever talk down to you clients,especially after taking money from them,Tom.You served your country.Thank you,but that and being director at Revolution church does not give you the right to judge people..

Save your money

This man calls himself a lawyer and he is far from. All he did was take money for me. I would suggest anyone thinking of hiring him to look somewhere else. He tells you he's going to do this and that he doesn't do anything for you. He is a greedy man. I hired him for divorce. I slept in a locked room... with bars on the door. So my wife wouldn't attack me at night and she gets a restraining order against me. She took everything out of the house. He did nothing. I have already hired a new lawyer and on my way to the divorce. This man did nothing for me, not a very good man stayaway

Excellent Attorney

I recently was in need of legal representation and contacted Colter law group. Upon reviewing situation Tom advised me of my options. I made my decision based on all pertinent information and hired him. I most likely was going to prison due to my behavior. Tom was able keep me out of prison and at ho...me with my family due to his expertise and knowledge of the judicial system. I also feel that he really did not want me to be away from my 3 year old son, as he is a compassionate man. I am thankful that I contacted Tom and he was a straight shooter with me about my situation. I would recommend consulting the Colter Law Group for any legal needs. Tim Moriarty
