Colin is a very competent, effective, and friendly lawyer who is generous with his time

When I was arrested for my Aggravated DUI, I was initially very distressed and pessimistic about what the outcome would be. It was my first run-in with the law (and the last; I will make sure of that). I had a very high BAC, and some other aspects of the case were not in my favor. The police collecte...d a blood sample, so I knew the evidence against me was concrete. I found Colin on this site, saw his excellent reviews, as well as the fact that he had handled numerous DUI cases before. I gave him a call, and he was very friendly and generous with his time, speaking to me for about an hour. He was also very realistic about what I could expect, and he didn't recommend a trial, due to the physical evidence (blood sample) against me. After speaking with him, I felt very confident in his skills, so I hired him for my case. When I met with him in person, he spoke with me for over an hour and explained the potential outcomes of the case. He mentioned that the judge and prosecuting attorney would want me to take responsibility for my actions and demonstrate that I was serious about reforming my behavior. So that is exactly what I did, since I am serious about following the law. He gave me some ideas for what I could do to take responsibility, and I followed all of his recommendations as diligently as possible. At the hearing, we were able to improve the plea deal to a lower charge and greatly reduced penalties. The judge personally commended me for taking responsibility for my actions, which I really appreciated hearing. My plea deal was essentially the best-case scenario, and Colin's excellent advice and guidance helped me out tremendously. I am extremely grateful for Colin's service, and he earned every penny that I paid him. I am back on the right path, and I feel much better about life. Thank you, Colin!

Exceptional DUI attorney

Colin was an excellent attorney. We had a 1/2 hour consultation beforehand and he was very knowledgeable and realistic when it came to possible outcomes to the case. If anyone is ever in need of a great DUI attorney I would definitely recommend Colin. He worked hard and quickly to get the case resolv...ed and did get the case amended from a dui to a reckless driving. Colin stayed in constant contact with me throughout the process whether it was by phones calls or via text, I was never in the dark. Colin worked with me on the payment side of things which was very helpful. This was my first lawyer experience and it was a great one. Thanks Mr. Delli Bovi

Outstanding, Empathetic, Honest, Hardworking!

I was originally assigned a public defender who wanted to plea me out and not put any effort towards my case. I met with Mr. Delli Bovi to go over my case. He was patient and actually took the time to listen to what I had to say. He went above and beyond to help me and my family. It was a no-brainer ...to hire Mr. Delli Bovi as my attorney. Throughout the case, he did a fantastic job communicating with me step by step so I was never in the dark. He was thorough on following up leads in my defense. He provided me sound advise along the way and made me feel comfortable having put my trust and future in his hands. He could've easily said no to my case but he took a chance with me as well and for that, I am forever grateful for him giving me a chance to prove that I am a man of my word. I would highly recommend Colin Delli Bovi to anyone in need of an attorney.

Intelligent, Highly Competent Attorney!

Colin is truly one of the most professional, helpful and insightful attorney's I have ever worked with. He was one of the only attorneys I could find in Montana to assist me with a post-conviction appeal and treated my concerns as if they were his own. I highly recommend Colin to anyone looking for a... hard-working, compassionate and highly skilled attorney. Thank you Colin for your help!.
