John J Kolego

My son found himself in a terrible situation that neither he nor I ever imagined he would be in. It was devastating, and we didn’t know the best way to proceed. A friend highly recommended John, and hiring him was the absolute right thing to do. He advised, counselled and supported us through the ent...ire court process. What I, as a mother, really appreciated was that if I called John with a question or concern he always took my call. He was quite clear about his boundaries and client confidentiality, while being supportive. John kept my son out of prison, which of course is the ultimate goal, but even if the verdict had been different I know John worked diligently for my son. I am now the friend who will highly recommend John in the future. Thank you John.

I hired john kolego on recomendation of several friends, who said he was one of the best in town. He charged q very reasonable flat rate that was within my means (which i honestly didnt expect, i was struggling hard financially at the time). What could have been a serious felony he prevented a drug c...harge i got from escalating from possession to distribution.he got me the best possible outcome i could have gotten in my case, and also helped me into q really good rehab and helped me get clean within the process. Hes compassionate understanding never made me feel judged or ashamed and gave me advice that has prevented me from getting in trouble since.one time me qnd my ex git pulled over and the cops were harrassing us and completely violating our rights, so i called his office and explained what they were doing as they were doing it and although they illegally searched my vehicle they didnt end up charging me with anything or taking anything from me. I definitly recomend him to anyone with criminal charges.

An incident became distorted into something which brought multiple counts against me, the victim. The seriousness of the charges due to a relentless investigation in search of confirming bias, became a complicated nightmare, to say the least. John stepped in with good advice and protection by helpin...g us know our rights and how to respond to the charges. A good attorney was necessary to get us through this horrible and unbelievable stack of accusations and charges. Sometimes in life, nightmares happen and John's experience gave him the ability to get us through! Lies and bias did not win! (His rates were set so it was not an endless drain on limited finances which gave us assurance that we were not going to run out of funds as the process was drawn out.)

John was recommended to me by a former client who said that John managed an incredibly good outcome for him which helped save his good-paying job on a new career. My case was challenging -- driving while suspended/revoked in a "difficult" county when I was within a few months of being able to reappl...y for my license. John was very knowledgeable...and patient...working with an out-of-county court that was particularly challenging. His experience and knowledge helped navigate me through some incredible hurdles and to the best outcome I could imagine -- dismissal of the case after a fairly brief diversion period. This allowed me to begin pursuing my license again, with his continued help. I'm doing my best to earn that license back, but I wouldn't have had the chance without his excellent help. He communicated well with me, and his incredible knowledge and experience were evident throughout all the court proceedings, and especially in working with the prosecutor's office. I trust John, and highly recommend him.

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.
