Colette has been my attorney for over 7 years. She has been my advocate and confidant. She is experienced and knows law in her sleep. She cares about her clients and is super organized. She is cut throat and will always be up front and honest with you. There is a reason I’ve had her for all these years, she is irreplaceable to me and my family. If you want the best of the best, you want Colette.

Mrs. Jolicoeur and her staff have been wonderful and have helped me through my divorce. She takes the time to review your case and what you want. Mrs. Jolicoeur is amazing in the court room, and reminds me to to stay claim and she handles everything beautifully.

I had one of the worst divorces on the central coast. My ex-husband had a well-known and overrated attorney, and I had Colette Jolicoeur. My husband’s attorney is well-known for running up huge bills, so if you think you are getting a great bulldog attorney think again. We won every decision from the judge. It did cost a lot of money, but not near as much as my ex-husband paid for his attorney, which I estimate he paid about $200,000.
All I was asking for was half the equity in our home, which was a little under $100,000. But my ex-husband ended up paying triple because of his attorney, who put a lien on his house. This attorney likes to send letters, go to court when it's not needed, and generate massive amounts of paperwork. He likes to create a lot of drama in the courtroom, and make his client sit on the stand for hours in order to drive up his bill.
My attorney’s bill was no where near the cost of my ex-husband’s, but it was a good chunk, because of the constant letters my attorney received and had to respond to because of all of the nonsense.
I highly recommend Colette Jolicoeur, she is very intelligent, honest, no drama and she kicked his ass!

I wasted my money and time hiring Colette Jolicoeur. None of my goals were accomplished in the divorce. I needed more child support for myself and two kids as I was a stay at home mom. My case was clear cut, but her response time was very slow. I always had to call or show up at her office to try and get any information I could. I had filled out most of my paper work before even hiring Colette. I mainly wanted her to review my documents, correct any issues, and fight for me in court. It seemed in court she was not organized. I'm sure this did not help my case. Once the case was finished she was very responsive when it came to her bill. I felt I was over charged for her services. She became very unprofessional when i questioned some charges and stated she would sue me if I failed to pay the amount billed. I did paid the full amount because I was just done with everything at the end of my divorce.

My daughter was in a difficult marriage and Colette Jolicoeur was recommended as the best attorney in town. She certainly lived up to her reputation. Both she and her assistant, Kate, were thorough, knowledgeable and also available to answer questions as they arose. They doggedly marched through this difficult divorce to its conclusion and Colette provided the much needed moral support and compassion for my daughter to stay strong during this ordeal. Colette cared.
I would give her law practice the highest possible rating.

I retained Colette Jolicoeur who was highly recommended. She defended me in a case where not only did we prevail; I was ultimately awarded the costs and fees associated with my defense.
Colette's billing hours and fees charged in my case were fair. I feel Colette was truly concerned about the outcome in my case and represented my best interests.
I recommend Colette Jolicoeur without hesitation.

Colette was great in my case. She helped me with child custody, support and state jurisdiction. She was very knowledgeable especially with the difficult jurisdictional issue in my case. I found Colette to be very good in court and effective. She is definitely the attorney I will be using if needed in the future.

Due to my lack of expertise on the law and my desire to try to handle my divorce on my own, my situation became dire. Colette got things turned around. We settled equitably through mediation, quickly and with minimal fuss.

The office is very well organised and it is dominated by a stress free environment. I found both Ms. Jolicoeur and Kate, paralegal, very interested in helping their clients. They are very honest and all the expenses were disclosed on time. The e-mails are returned in a time fashion and if there is an emergency, you can solve it with the Office, the same day. The appointments are easy to make.
As a client, you are taught from the beginning what you can expect from a bad situation.
I highly recommend this Office to anybody who needs an approachable team.

Colette was the most remarkable Attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with. My entire divorce took less than 2 months, and without costing me an arm and a leg. I would highly recommend her!!! She always returned my calls. On one occasion when I really needed her, she answered my call while at the dentist....now that's service!!!
