Knowledgeable, practical, and helpful

When seeking a lawyer to guide me through my prenup, I first saw Indy's favorable reviews here. I then followed up by reading her blog posts, and I got a very good feeling about her. I was looking for someone knowledgeable and practical, yet approachable and compassionate. That's exactly what I ...found when I met her in person. She gave me a good top-level overview of the process and I found her retainer to be very fair. Over the course of the next few weeks, she presented me with a solid first draft, was patient and thorough in answering all of my questions and concerns, and helped me craft a proposed draft that I was happy with and understood well. There were a few tricky issues, and she did a great job of explaining the legal intents, options, trade-offs, and limitations. Family law is not an arena I have much experience with, and by the end of the process I felt well-informed of the legal implications and overall comfortable with the agreement. I can't recommend Indy highly enough!

Incredible Lawyer and a Better Human Being

I contacted Indy on a Wednesday with a court date already scheduled the following Wednesday. She took the liberty to do anything to make sure we had a conversation once she realized the urgency of my matter. On Thursday we had a phone conversation. She took all the information she needed to look u...p the case the details and we met on late Friday. She was extremely accommodating and instead of me apologizing that I was intervening into her weekend, she was sincere in her concern to my well being given the circumstances I had fallen into. She spent our time efficiently in gathering all the information she required. She spent ample time with me explaining to me what I would expect and detailed out a plan for the upcoming court date and an outline for the steps we would be taking thereafter. All the anxiety I had going into my matter just went out the door. After speaking to Indy and feeling her compassion and the attention to detail she displayed along with her quick thinking made me feel at ease and relieved that I could not have been as lucky to have selected her. I had correspondence with a few other lawyers and no one took on the detailed attention that Indy did to make me feel good about everything. After the urgent court hearing at which Indy resolved the matter on my behalf to my grateful satisfaction, Indy did not miss a beat and stayed on task as she had outlined in our previous meeting. I truly felt I was in great hands and the amount of anxiety, stress and the helpless feeling was put at ease. Since then she has followed up with me consistently at each point of the process to check my well being as well as keeping me well informed of everything that is taking place. She has communicated with me with the responsibilities I have in order for me to reach the resolution I seek in my case and I now have a clear direction and can continue living my life knowing that someone is looking out for my best interest. I would encourage anyone dealing with family conflicts to reach out to Indy as the transparency she has shown me is world class. Thank You So Much for everything Indy.

Ex Spouse Ruining Your Credit?

Indy Colbath was the third attorney I hired to help me with the challenging situation of removing my name from the HELOC loan that my ex husband had not cleared in 10 years. Indy's attention to detail caught the omission of an asset by my ex on the divorce judgement, which provided the needed leverag...e to persuade him to quickly sell the property and clear my name. Throughout the process, Indy demonstrated professionalism, sound advice with multiple options, and quick responses. I recommend Indy Colbath without hesitation and know you will be very satisfied with her knowledge and performance.

Skilled Family Lawyer

I hired Indy to finalize my divorce, which was pretty high conflict. She helped me get ideal custody and support orders and made sure I understood the implications every step of the way. She was very upfront about my case and helped me negotiate the settlement rather than have to go to trial. When we... did have to go to court she was excellent, and we got orders that I wanted and were best for my child. I highly recommend Indy!

Highly recommended attorney!

Indy is a great lawyer who has the ability to really help towards trying to alleviate your concerns with child custody issues. She is extremely knowledgeable and has wonderful resolution skills. She would be my top choice should I need a lawyer in this area again in the future.
