Choosing a family law attorney is a very personal and highly emotional decision. Colby will earn your respect and trust from the very first meeting. He is able to take very emotional situations and calmly explain your legal rights to you. I would highly recommend Colby to anyone looking for an attorney in family law.

When I got the call from my son, the call I had been dreading for six years, I called Colby for help. Three days later we were in front of a judge who temporarily suspended their father's parenting rights. It was a traumatic experience for me and Colby was not only an exceptional attorney he was patient and caring with me as I worked through old trauma while dealing with the new trauma. When I asked his opinion he was thoughtful and honest. He was also relentless in fighting for my rights as well as my sons. He is highly intelligent and well versed in the law. And for someone like myself who was in an abusive marriage, his quiet strength was comforting and reassuring. I am grateful I had Colby in my corner for those 8 months, and when it happens again, he's my attorney.

Colby represented me with my custody case. He is very detailed on his correspondence with me and in the filings with the court. Colby was easy to get a hold of and promptly returned calls or emails, listened to my concerns and offered advise or recommended action when appropriate. His fees are very reasonable when compared to others in the area.

I had been going through a rough time trying to get my kids last name changed for years. Colby was not only efficient, he was also great at keeping me in the loop with everything. He would always answer my questions whether it was through email or text. In the end, I won my case and couldn't be happier.

Colby Rieke is a very skillful and knowledgeable attorney. We had a goal at the beginning of this road and that was to obtain sole custody of my son. Being a single father, I felt that the deck was stacked against me in court but he was able to accomplish that exact goal and thereby ensuring the safety and security of the most precious thing in my life. Without a doubt, I would go back to Colby for any future family law matters and recommend him to any friends or family in need of such services.

Colby represented me in my very long, very ugly, and extremely difficult divorce. It took almost 2 years to finalize and he was really great throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable, even with the complex nature of my divorce. He kept me well informed of the process, thoroughly explained everything to me, and I felt like he really listened and cared about getting me what I wanted. We had to attend court 13 times and Colby was always well prepared and always brought his A game. I felt like I could trust Colby. Getting divorced is an extremely stressful situation; you shouldn't have to stress over your lawyer, too.

Through the process of divorce, I conveyed my wishes and thoughts to Colby and he followed through and accomplished the divorce with minimal stress. Colby's diligence got it done and I was surprised when completed, I was due a refund!

Colby Rieke took over my case when my previous lawyer was no longer proactive. His law knowledge, obvious intelligence & creative problem-solving all proved essential to resolving my case. He shows integrity & compassion when dealing with difficult and painful circumstances. Colby's tenacity for resolution moved my case forward and a to an acceptable completion, which I know would not have been accomplished without him. I recommend him to others with confidence.

Colby has represented / advised me from estate planning to speeding infractions. My confidence in him led to him also representing my daughter in a more serious criminal case (worked out better than expected). He is not only professional but calming throughout. It is easy to get lost and frustrated in the legal system. Colby's knowledge, experience and report always steps me thru the process. He is the type of man you would want to call a friend. He is the friend to call when you need legal representation.

He did good job as far as getting my divorce, got all properties and terms that were ask for except personal items the she had stolen from property and my dog. Dog was the biggest loss.

Colby was very patient in explaining the whole process, and what to expect. He was quick to return calls or emails, and always available to answer questions. He was flexible with my payments as well. I felt like he had my best interests in mind, and was an advocate for me and what was best for my children.

I've used Colby's legal services for a number of reasons for nearly a decade. I retained him for my divorce, and was able to obtain everything I asked, even when my ex attempted to take half the retirement I worked for. Many years ago, I experienced the unfortunate experience of being arrested for a DUI, the day after and an entire 7 hours since my last drink the night before (during which I did not drive). He was able to show that the officer should not have given me a breathalyzer when I had gum in my mouth, and even though I blew right at the limit, appealed to the judge to cut the fines and punishment in half since I did pass the sobriety test. I did not lose my license thanks to him. He had to fight for it, and be creative, and it worked. I felt like he wasn't going to give up. Colby has also helped me with a "couple" speeding tickets, for which I was guilty. Recently, I hired Colby to put together a will for me and he spent a lot of time with me explaining options and carefully making sure the details of my wishes are in place. Through the years, I've also been able to call him up and ask for feedback on various things along the way (a will issue when my father died, questions about a bad tenant, etc.) and he has always pointed me in the right direction even if I didn't need to hire him for anything. I recommend Colby for anything you encounter and would like to add how professional he is and easy to work with. Even if you find a "cheaper" attorney, it is not worth the cost of a possibly less thorough attorney. Colby will advise you properly and fight when it makes sense to.
