John J Kolego

I’m a convicted felon on parole. I had two separate new cases, both felonies. When I started with a public defender, he told me I would be going back to prison for 30 months. Period. After hiring John and his partner, for one reasonable fee, I ended up getting through both cases with road crew and mo...re probabtion. No jail or prison time. Thank you John. Thank you Andy.

John Kolego was recommended to me by a good friend who used to be a Prosecutor and he said that John was a very formidable opponent in the courtroom. I thought this was a very strong recommendation. I called him right away and he was able to get me an appointment that morning which was a huge reli...ef, as I was extremely scarred and nervous. When John went out of town for a short trip, his associate and his assistant were extremely helpful and responsive to my calls and emails. John himself would call me right back when I had any questions or needed any clarification. John was able to get me the very best possible outcome in my situation and I can't say how much I appreciate him and recommend him very, very HIGHLY. He kept me very abreast of everything going on and had a very calming energy about him. He is very knowledgeable about the law and is also a very kind and good person. thanks so much for everything, Mr. Kolego.

Mr. Kolego not only won our family case, but was always honest and upfront during the process. He pays extreme attention to detail and clearly understands people. He fights in the courtroom with passion and does not give up. Mr. Kolego was the only hope for our family. He managed the best outcome ima...ginable in one of the toughest cases. I cannot day a bad word about this man. My family and I are eternally grateful to him.

I hired John based on a recommendation from a Eugene judge. That was the right decision. I was extremely nervous since a guilty conviction would limit the type of employment I could be subject to for the next 5 years. John had very little to work with on my case since everything pointed against me. T...he situation was made worse in court by the deceptive corroborative narrative that was portrayed. Personally, that was hard to deal with. John kept a cool and level head and talked me down when I got frustrated and even listened to me vent. John offered a myriad of motions to get the case dropped because of a lack of evidence. John also presented motions in court so, if the case went south, then I would have a better approach for an appeal, if I so chose or needed to go that direction. After the closing statements, John walked out of the courtroom declaring he felt he had connected and reach the 6 person jury. John believed the jury understood what he was trying to convey to them and the jury came back with a verdict of not guilty. This is what 30 plus years of legal experience gets you: someone who is savvy with the system, knows how to navigate the pitfalls, and keeps you on course so you don't personally shoot yourself in the foot. Considering what the cost of fines, lost time, and lost wages would have been had I been found guilty John's price was a great deal. I would recommend John to anybody that needs help with criminal defense.
