Don’t fall for the honest veteran front- stay far away!

I hired Thomas Colter and wish I wouldn’t have. Don’t fall for the flashy office and scripture on its walls because his actions contradict his front as a Christian well-intended honest man. You’ll notice that during his consultation, all he does is talk about himself and his military background to s...ell himself. He won’t discuss his planned course of action and expects you to just “trust him.” He said things he couldn’t actually do in the end and left out pertinent information during the consultation that most definitely would’ve affected my consideration. Then he preyed on a vulnerable person needing help with legal issues, wasting time and sending thousands down the drain. You’ll watch your retainer go to nothing in 30-60 days with no real progress on your case. He and his staff made costly mistakes on my case as well. There are good lawyers on the Treasure Coast, but Thomas Colter (Law Patriot) is not one of them. Ask his industry peers, they’ll openly caution you about hiring Thomas Colter. Look up his previous company name “Colter Law” on Google and you’ll see the terrible reviews there as well. I only wish I’d have done better research prior to hiring him. Since then, I’ve heard so many people who had the same experience I did. Do yourself a favor and stay FAR FAR AWAY!

Confused

an entire year later and my gut still feels like something's wrong after my case. I feel as though he took my money and did nothing. It was almost like he sent me in to get the charge while lining his pockets. His wife(if that's who it is) even called me before my court date to tell me court was m...oved and it was my best bet to take the date.... I was confused out of my mind. Something in my gut tells me that I made a bad decision retaining him. wonder how he is still in business.

Takes money & does not do job

This attorney appeared to be drunk based upon his behavior and refused to even review evidence proving my innocence. He advised me to plead guilty to something I didn't do and can prove I didn't do it. He is lazy, unprofessional and incapable of understanding fact from fiction. He took $4,500 to file... a notice of appearance & review the false allegations made against me. He does not care about truth and is too lazy to do the job he was hired to do. I fired him & retained counsel who took the time to review facts. Don't waste your money on the hiring this man. He has no integrity and doesn't fight for the truth. He takes your money & does nothing. He truly is a waste of time & money. He literally did nothing but read the charges & apparently believed what was written. He even accused me of fabricating my W-2's & all he had to do was subpoena W-3 records from the IRS to prove validity of the W-2s, but he was too lazy to do anything he was hired for.

Warning...Do NOT even go talk to this A$$

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.

Colter

I hired this lawyer who is sadly lacking in ability or experience. I would not recommend him to anyone.
