Everyone at the firm was extremely friendly and caring thru this whole process!! They all made me feel comfortable and at ease at this difficult time!!

This firm employs wonderful people who truly care about their clients. The staff-- from marketing to reception, from management to attorneys-- are hardworking and honest. I believe they are the best option for your family matters within the Capital region and upstate.

I used colwell law group for my divorce 4 months ago. Marisa Gordon was my lawyer she was amazing. Definitely very knowledgeable and professional and helped me to understand all that was going on. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their services

I had the privilege of retaining Jonathan D. Cohn as my attorney for a recent alcohol-related offense, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the exceptional legal representation he provided. Mr. Cohn's expertise in criminal defense, particularly in cases involving alcohol-related offenses, is truly remarkable. From our very first consultation, it was evident that Mr. Cohn was not just an attorney, but a dedicated advocate who genuinely cared about my case. His attention to detail and commitment to upholding my rights under the law were immediately evident, which provided me with a sense of confidence during a challenging time. One of the most impressive aspects of Mr. Cohn's representation was his in-depth knowledge of the legal nuances surrounding alcohol-related offenses. He took the time to explain the intricacies of my case, potential outcomes, and the best strategies for a successful defense. His ability to demystify complex legal jargon and provide clear, understandable guidance was invaluable. Throughout the legal process, Mr. Cohn's communication skills were outstanding. He kept me informed at every stage, promptly responding to my questions and concerns. This transparency made me feel involved and reassured that my case was in capable hands. Ultimately, thanks to Mr. Cohn's expertise and dedication, my case had a favorable resolution that exceeded my expectations. I cannot express enough gratitude for the privilege of having Jonathan Cohn as my attorney during this challenging time. His unwavering commitment to my defense, combined with his comprehensive knowledge of alcohol-related offenses, makes him a top-tier criminal defense attorney. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation in this area of law.

Terrible new client interactions. You will not get a meaningful consultation. During the "consultation", I was asked the same questions for a 3rd time by a 3rd person. A person who seemingly knew absolutely nothing about the law, my case, or how it might be handled. They had not even familiarized themselves with what info had already answered / provided. It was like them trying to sell me a car without letting me see the car, or the salesperson knowing anything about the car. Just them asking for a $5,000 check.

I was arrested on Memorial Day on my way home from a barbeque. My BAC came back as .06 and I was charged with a DWAI. I contacted a few different attorneys for quotes and consultations. Mr. Cohn was the only person that sounded genuine and took the time to answer my questions without sounding annoyed by my ignorance. I hired him as my attorney and he did not let me down! There was open communication and we went over the evidence in great detail. He discovered that I had done very well during the field sobriety test and I asked the officer many questions while in custody, which showed that my speech was not slurred. He asked what I would be satisfied with if we had to take a plea deal. I said that I just don't want my license or insurance affected! He presented the evidence and told them that the case was very weak and that they'd have a hard time proving intoxication if we took it to trial. I was offered a plea of Disorderly Conduct. Mr. Cohn and I had a conversation and we weighed out the pros and cons. He said if we did turn it down and take it to trial, the decision would ultimately be up to the judge and I'd run the risk of being found guilty. I said I was very comfortable taking the deal! He spoke to the prosecutor and they both recommended the lowest possible fine. Thank goodness I didn't fight it! The judge was very fair but said he would not let me slide with the lowest possible fine because my offer was generous enough and I should have consequences. I do not have to worry about the price of my insurance increasing and there are no points on my license! I cannot thank this man enough! If you're reading this, it's probably because you need someone to represent you... This is the man for the job!

Non contested divorce, yet they are keep billing me, retainer was $5000. Imagine if it was a contentious situation, how much this law firm would charge me? Not worth hiring them, I am already going through a tough time. This law firm is adding agony to it. Not recommending this firm, there are way cheaper and good lawyers , just don't fall for thier Facebook ads. I found them on Facebook and made the wrong decision.

Great job done by jonathon he goes above and beyond what other attorneys would do.id recommend him to anyone in need of legal services

Kito was my consultant and he was extremely friendly and understanding. This firm cares about fathers and father's rights, which is rare for NYS. UPDATE: This law firm finally got me sole custody. I've been fighting for years and this firm got it done. For all the fathers in this state; use this firm. They care about father's rights and do their utmost to get you what you deserve. I cannot thank them enough!!

Employed Colwell for a custody case. First lawyer seemed disinterested and unhelpful. Was appointed Kyle Starks after that. He was attentive, reachable, and truly cared about me and my kids. We were successful in large part to his counsel and work. Highly recommend.

Divorce is probably the most frightening thing I have ever had to go through in my life. Nothing can prepare you for what you're going to experience - whether that be emotionally, monetarily, or just the sheer amount of knowledge required to navigate through. Picking the right law group and then attorney/lawyer is just the beginning. The options are endless and you can only hope you make the right decision. I was assigned to Marissa Gordon, and words truly cannot express how thankful and lucky I am. From the beginning she was beyond approachable and made herself available for every question/concern/need/etc. in a very timely manner. I cannot begin to explain how scared this whole situation has made me feel, but at the end of the day I felt safe knowing that she was handling my case. Thank you for all the care, consideration, and treating me like a human, not just a number. I know this is a decision I'll never regret.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Kyle Starks, a family court lawyer, and i was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and expertise. He went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. Throughout the entire process he maintained open lines of communication and promptly responded to all inquires. 10/10 recommend him!
