Highly recommend

Outstanding lawyer!!! Was facing 2 felonies and a misdemeanor based off accusations back in 2023 he sat in a jury trial for me. For ones that don't have success. He can only present what you give him. Do your own homework look for anything that he can present. He will use everything you collect. Afte...r jury I was found not guilty on all charges. Courts will try to leave things out of discover even knowingly that it is misconduct. City Hall keeps everything on file and is public. They will delete videos as in my case which would of been even better for my case, but luckily it wasn't needed to prove my innocence. If you have a poor case finding anything outside your discovery get copies and spend time going through it to find evidence. Do some research. Your attorney is your teammate at winning your case. For the negative post, Bill can only use what is presented to him. With that is going to be what is represented to the courtroom. An attorney is there to represent you, you are there to present. I was even given an opportunity to have the 2 felonies dropped and plea guilty of the misdemeanor. If you both agree there's a strong case of your innocence trust him and if he tells you that you don't have a chance after reviewing everything, then take that advice.

Best attorney EVER! Like family!

Bill was the absolute best attorney I could have ever asked for! Not only did he listen to me, but he believed me that I was innocent of the crime I was being accused of. He was honest with me about all the steps or possible outcomes. By hiring Bill Colovos and following his expert legal advice, he g...ot my case dismissed!! That was 100% ALL Bill's doing! He KNOWS how to talk and work with judges and prosecutors. I have a 100% clean record before and now thanks to Bill, I continue to. I have never been that person "in trouble" with the law. I couldn't believe I found myself in a situation where I was in trouble due to accusations of another. This situation cause me SO much stress and anxiety, Bill will treat you like family, he answered my texts even when late at night when I was worried about my case. Whether you are guilty or innocent, I 100% KNOW Bill will be your best chance at the best outcome for your case.

Run!

Worst attorney ever. Look at his Google reviews. Ambulance chaser. Will take your money and will ruin your case. He starts crying when defending his clients in court. So unprofessional. Don't fall for billboards. Run! Mr. colovos Karma happens and you deserve what happened to you ! His license to pr...actice should be cancelled.

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.
