I worked with Attorney Colbert for almost a year (since April 2021). She was great in the beginning, but a few phone calls and emails went unanswered. I had to do my own research to get answers I needed, including using my state's Free Lawyer's Hotline for help. Her cover letter for my MPSA (May 2021), did not sound related to my case. In July 2021, She was unsuccessful in getting a protective order to stick, and did not stand her ground on excluding an audio recording that was obtained illegally and without my permission. The judge denied my protective order and I had to flee my own home for a few weeks. For my limited divorce paperwork (December 2021), I notified her I was unsure under what grounds to file and was requesting another consult for advice and inquired about her retainer for divorce proceedings. She never got back with me. How am I supposed to retain a lawyer that rarely answers emails or returns calls? I made plans to obtain another attorney if my limited divorce reached litigation. My ex finally signed the MPSA after 10 months (March 2022) and she refused to work with me anymore because my ex was refusing to give an address for process serving and didn't have an attorney. I emailed her twice since last Friday...no response. I have since retained another attorney who has empathy for domestic abuse survivors and is passionate about what she does. I believe Attorney Colbert was upset because my ex was difficult, wouldn't give an address for process serving, and also because I didn't retain her for my limited divorce and she in return didn't want to work with me. If you have an easy case, by all means hire her, but if you are dealing with a difficult case, and need things resolved promptly, and have no idea how the law works, hire someone else. I been thru alot and she was not helpful 85% of the time. She was not worth the cost of services. I am never working with Attorney Colbert again and I will never refer anyone to her. 1/10 stars.
