PLEASE READ THIS

NEVER USE HIM AS YOUR LAWYER IN ANY CASE! First off he will not answer calls or texts, it is also next to impossible to get him to meet with you when needed, even when your court date is a few days away . He will say he has filed things for your case only for you to find out when you’re standing in c...ourt that he actually did not file. HE IS A LIAR! He will spin you around in circles and will say you are being overbearing and to trust that he’s done his job but he is really just taking in your money and doing little to no work. He seems charming when you speak to him, he will lead you to believe he is putting every second into your case and doing everything he can, but you will find out when you reach that court room that he is a complete fraud. A wolf in sheep’s clothing if you will. He is not a good lawyer by any means. Please do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time or money and play with your freedom by hiring this guy.

Very unprofessional reconsider hiring him

I hired Mr. Colovos to get my fiancee out of jail. When I gave him the retainer, I was not able to get ahold of him. He didn't return any of my calls. Instead he went to my job and asked an employee where his girlfriend was. He also disclosed information about the case to her. I didn't know until sh...e called me and let me know. He sexually harrsssed me and did nothing for my fiancee. When he went to see my fiancee, the only thing he was concerned about is how did she put up with you for 10 years. He ended up getting out of jail for false imprisonment.

Save your self the stress

I hired this lawyer and his firm and I can safely say I will never hire him again . I had a serious matter he didn’t do anything that I could and did get myself I still had to pay over a 1000 for probation cost still had to do a bunch of community service he is lazy needless to say he put minimal eff...ort and charged me thousands of dollars. Please save yourself the added headache and stress read all the reviews please save your money for a decent lawyer

Worst Attorney I have ever retained.

Retained services. Hands down the worst attorney I have retained. Where do I even start? I wish I would write my entire story and tell how bad the experience was. False promises, not filing things on time, charges premium lawyer rates however literally the documents had spelling mistakes and call...ed defendant the plaintiff and vice versa. I have a family case and had dire consequences because of his negligence. Please take my advice and go some where else. You will not regret it. I dont want anyone else to go through what I did.

Replied last March 20, 2023

I'm sorry that you were not satisfied. Due to attorney/client confidentiality I can not discuss the details of this custody case. As you are aware, I was the third attorney you hired. You were not satisfied with your first 2 prior attorneys either. One of your prior attorneys had to sue you to collect attorney fees that you failed to pay. I represented you concerning your former wife's motion to terminate your physical and legal custody. After several days in trial, the trial court judge denied your ex-wife's motion to change joint physical custody. The court did grant your former wife's mother for sole physical custody of the minor children. Thereafter, you hired me to continue to represent you at the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals, after reviewing the trial court record, affirmed the trail court's decision, finding that it was in the minor children's best interest that their mother have sole legal custody. Thereafter, it was alleged that your more recent conduct caused your former wife to file another motion regarding your more recent wrongful conduct and ask for attorney fees. It is my understanding that you hired a 4th attorney to defend this motion. The court again ruled against you, ordered the relief sought by your ex-wife and sanctioned you with payment of attorney fees and costs to your ex-wife's attorney. In closing, I wish you well in the future, and hope you find the results you believe you deserve.
