DUI CASE

Hi my name is Daniel Villalba & Daniel Kolacia helped me with my DUI situation. I recommend because he’s willing to give his all to help out with your issue. He’s a very nice guy to talk to & work with. Give him a chance to help you he’s worth it. He saved me time in jail and also saved lots of money....

Highly recommend Mr. Kolacia

Mr. Kolacia did an exceptional job at representing us. It was pure professionalism from the start. The communication was bar none. Mr. Kolacia answered all of our questions without hesitation and made us feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. We were thrilled to hear of our outcome and ha...d no doubt that Mr. Kolacia would do what he said that he would do. I highly recommend Mr. Kolacia if you are looking for legal consulting or need legal assistance. Troy

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.
