Ernest Jacob Colonna

For the past 15 years Jacob has represented me through two very difficult child custody cases and I truly cannot recommend him enough. Throughout every step of the process he has been professional, knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly dedicated to protecting both me and my children’s best interests.... Family court can be emotionally exhausting and overwhelming but Jacob always made sure I understood my options and felt supported during every stage of my cases. He is thorough, responsive, and extremely experienced in custody matters. What stood out most to me was his ability to stay calm and focused under pressure while still genuinely caring about my family and the outcome. Over the years he has consistently fought hard for me, communicated clearly, and handled difficult situations with professionalism and integrity. Having an attorney you can trust during custody battles is priceless and I’m beyond grateful to have had Jacob in my corner for so many years. If you are looking for a lawyer who is compassionate, experienced, and truly committed to his clients I highly recommend Jacob. He has made a lasting impact on my life and my children’s lives, and I will always be thankful for everything he has done for my family.

Colonna has been a great attorney to have in my corner. I have retained him for multiple legal issues and he has handled it all so well on my behalf. He takes the stress out of the high stress situations and gives you his honest, professional opinion upfront. He won’t lead you through a pointless and... expensive legal battle as is often the case with other attorneys. Communication, billing, and the explanation of the process are his strong points. And if he can’t help you with a specific area of the law, he will connect you with someone who can.

I've been a Type 1 Diabetic for over 34 years. In the past 2 years, I've had the Dexcom app which has helped me better manage my glucose levels. November 6, 2025 is a day I'll never forget. I was asked to silence my phone during a funeral. After the funeral I had been talking with family and friends ...about the life we had lost. I had forgotten to turn my Dexcom alerts back on. I went to meet the family at a restaurant, but I never saw any of them, so I decided to drive home. During that drive home, my blood sugar dropped below 40 without it alerting me because phone was still silent. I ended up getting a careless operation ticket which is a criminal case. My first court date they didn't take a look at my evidence proving that I was having a diabetic related incident. I called the office of Jacob Colonna to hear my case out. He showed up for my next trial court date and made sure my evidence was heard and the prosecutor dismissed my case. Thank you so much Jacob for being my voice. I know now not to silence my phone for anything at all since the incident in November. I would definitely recommend hiring Jacob Colonna at Colonna Law Firm, LLC as a great Criminal Justice attorney in the city of Lake Charles.
