Douglas Marc Colbert
When other lawyers say don't worry about it we do since 1974..
For 45 years I have answered thousands of telephone calls from people looking for the best legal advice because of my vast legal experience. Since I know the law and listen to you with compassion to understand your facts, I figure out the best solutions for your legal problems. We then personally prepare every part of your case in our office with you to obtain the results you have a right to expect!'
'For those reasons many of our clients are referred to me from the referral services of the local bar associations, other attorneys, part time judges, doctors, authors, dentists, mental health professionals, priests, rabbis, other clergy, police, peace officers, court personnel, military referral services , leaders of not-for-profit artistic, cultural and civic organizations and more. Our clients come from a vast array of nationalities, educations, ethnic groups, languages, religions, age groups, professions and employment.' - Douglas M. Colbert
