Lori Ann Colbert

retained her services for a simple dissolution / divorce that needed minimal mediation. Instead of abiding by what we discussed for strategy and setting up mediation she constantly moved toward trial proceedings and blamed spouses attorney. Turns out court view showed she was filing delays. ...Additionally she would go for long periods of time and not respond to email or calls yet when she billed you she could communicate that. Had to request status after initial court filing when spouse response to being served was overdo. only to find that she let the deadline lapse without moving notifying the court. Motion of default would have been resolved right away and she chose not to file when clearly that was my request - end the marriage expeditiously . Misrepresented and poor to no communication along with her leaving town a lot. Not a dedicated or reliable attorney.

Be aware of unethical practice. Lori Colbert couldn't pretty much froze my divorce case for 7 month. I patiently waited for 7 months for her to do something hoping that she will come around. She always had an excuse for not communicating time sensitive information on my behalf to other parties which... got me into even more financial trouble. She would not return phone calls (she was constantly not available) or reply to my emails (even when I specifically ask to reply with an advise). I was changed for making appointments at a $125/hour rate because the only two appointments that I was ever able to schedule were scheduled by a paralegal instead of a front desk person. I would definitely not recommend this lawyer.
