Personable and Humanizing

Colin Took the time to understand my situation fully. With his experience, he was able to guide me through the divorce process and all the pitfalls that may arise. I was welcome to ask any question I had, and in the end, Colin built a trusted relationship with me going into trial. Divorce is stressfu...l; however, no part of that stress was in my dealings with Colin or the staff at his Firm

Do not hire Colin Banyon

Please do not use Colin Banyon for any reason! I hired him for my divorce, I just finizaled all of the needed clean up from my original divorce with another attorney (Amber Peters - Highly Recommend). Colin was rude and lazy when it came to my divorce. It was very clear he was just looking for a q...uick payment. He neglected to account for my pre marital assets which caused me to significantly over pay my ex husband. To list another example of his negligence, my ex requested (in writing) an additional $10k to agree to me adding that he could not get high or drunk with 12 hrs of having to care for our son. Colins response, "I would suggest leave out the no drugs provision. If he is using drugs DHHS can get involved". When I told him I would not agree to respond, "yes" in front of the judge to the question, "were the requirements met"? He opted to rephrase the question to get a, "Yes" response.

Perfect for me

Colin was my divorce lawyer and a fine choice it was. He always answered my questions while advising me of what questions were really addressing the legal issues. He kept me on a path to the judge instead of a path to things of the heart. He never failed to return my calls the same day I made them.... If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you how your situation is, don't hire Collin. BUT If you want legal representation from a true professional who will get you to the judge asap hire Colin. Trust Me. You will be so grateful in the end.

Roger Shupert Review

Exceptional service

Colin handled my divorce and did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. He really looks out for the interest of his client in addition to providing encouragement and support in a very stressful process. I would highly recommend him.
