Mr. John Colvin is great

I could not have asked for a better lawyer to fight for me. He took care of everything. When it came time for me to go before the judge, we were in there for less than five minutes and won my case in that time. He knows what he is doing. If i ever need a lawyer again, I will be calling on him!

Posted by Ed | January 23, 2015 | Bankruptcy & Debt

God send

After the collapse of the economy in '08, we were so devasted, we couldn't even afford to file bankruptcy. Over fours years later and almost integent, we were somewhat back on our feet. (Surviving)... Mr. Colvin took our case and and as old as our case was, he forged through. His knowledge of the l...aw, his compassion and the wonderful staff he has on his team, got us through the worse time in our life! And as humbling as a bankruptcy is, he and his team made us feel like we mattered and was worthy of a second chance!

  • 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.
