Accurate, professional and bold

Attorney Colin Bell has represented me on two occasions in a protection order lawsuit that I filed. On the first occasion, he represented me at the hearing, were in just 4 days he managed to prepare the entire case and emerge victorious from the trial. On the second occasion, also related to the ...same case, the lawyer prepared the case and carried out the entire process in such a way that in the end, the judge gave us the reason and also forced the counterpart to bear the representation expenses.

Excellent attorney

If your seeking the best attorney in the valley colin should be your choice. Since day one he fought for me, got me exactly what i wanted in court puts 100% plus more into his work. And when it came time to get me off probation early it was a success. He is straight forward and very detailed at expla...ining so all my questions were answered before i even asked. Highly recommended

Colin Bell

It is my absolute pleasure to endorse Colin Bell. His knowledge and experience in the law was far above and beyond all my expectations. I hired Colin for a very difficult family matter that required a supperior skill set, dogged determined, and extreme professionalism, all traits that Colin ...Bell has mastered. He represents me and redeemed my reputation in a way that I will always be indebted to him for. Throughout the whole process he explained what was going on, presented me with my options and answered my questions in a way that was clear to me. I never felt lost or behind in anyway. It is my privilege to wholeheartedly recommend Colin Bell.

DUI representation

Colin handled my case very well. He took the time to answer all of my questions throughout the process and to make sure my case got the best possible outcome. He also contacted me with updates on my case every time one occurred and was quick to respond to emails and phone calls.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
