Reviews by Business Professionals:
I have worked with Renee in the recent past when I was an outside consultant for Renee’s company; working directly with her for approximately five years. She is hard working, knowledgeable and diligent in her follow up and communication. Renee worked with all legal aspects of contracts, tax issues and estate plans for high wealth business owners . I found her to be a person of high character and a great pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her and consider her a valuable asset to any team. I would welcome working with her again.

Renee's prior experience has provided both a broad outlook and a practical perspective. She is diligent and reasonable - just the right temperament for the type of legal work that she does.

Attorney Colbert exhibits professionalism and courtesy while also vehemently advocating on behalf of her clients. She is an asset to the legal community.
Timothy Hazel, Real estate Attorney on Feb 24, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Colbert skillfully represented a contractor on a project that developed serious problems. As Owner's counsel, I was impressed with her ability to apply reason and logic to avoid a full-blown law suit. Due to her involvement, the parties were able to reach a fair resolution.
