Amazing Attorney and the Team Behind Him!

I had an emergency situation happen over the holidays and needed an attorney asap. On Christmas eve within 30 minutes of reaching out, I received a phone call from Thomas Colter himself. He was so kind and patient while listening to my issue. The day after Christmas I was in his office with an amazin...g team of associates and paralegals. They were kind, compassionate and worked diligently together to get me the results I needed. They even set me up on a payment program throughout the process. I cannot express how grateful I am to this office and to each person who worked tirelessly on my case. To Ashley, Sean Hardwick, Mr. Colter and everyone else: Thank you for everything you did for me and my family

The best in town

Thomas Colter and his staff are superb. He and his attorneys helped me at a time where I needed it the most. I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone on town.

A man of his word!

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!

God Sent

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!

Recomend Highly

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.

  • 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.
