$6500 retainer to start a custody case and paying for someone to drive to and from a courthouse and do bare to minimum work definitely not worth the money I paid for the services I received I would not recommend this firm. I did all the work! Therefore I should get all my money back! Now I’m waiting for $2200 of my retainer that was leftover and get a text message from the firm stating a need to click a link to set up an appointment that I never made or even need the court case was finished a month ago! Like seriously! This firm is horrible!!!

If you’re a single mother, a person of color, or someone that has children, beware. Scamming and Grifting is all I could say. Wait until you hire them then they’ll switch lawyers and make you pay double. If you love your money and family don’t go to this place. They will rip you off

I can recommend Mohanad Elmassalemah for child support situations. He was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive.

Honestly words can not describe the lack of professionalism I experienced with this group, but let’s try. Firstly, a retainer of $7,000 was given and off we went. I started with one attorney a Rebecca Edward’s who for whatever reason quit the law firm about three months into my litigation. I sent emails and explained everything in my case to her. After several weeks I was contacted by a team manager attorney (Sebastian Piedmont). This gentlemen came across as completely incompetent. I felt like I was talking to a used car salesman. He Basically just talking up what he was going to do and how he knew the opposing attorney and all this mambo jumbo. Asked me what was going on in my case. I was explaining my self for the second time not to mention I was being billed for explaining yet again. My first attorney never submitted my long form financial affidavit, that comes later. At this point the billing had exceeded my retainer. I had to keep the minimum retainer balance so $2500 needed to be in the kiddy. The bills kept pouring in. It was crazy. We went to court 4 times virtually. One with Rebecca and two with Mr. Piedmont, and the fourth with Mr. Mohammed(which by the way was the only honest person I can across working with that firm.). After not hearing from Mr Piedmont I get an email notifying me they would be breaking in yet another attorney( Mr . Mohammed)! What’s interesting is that we were on a three way call(while being billed and had to explain myself yet again.). The judge on the final meeting even said something to the point of attorney billings because it was obvious that this was a cash grab. We settled thanks to Mr Mohammed. Never heard from Rebecca or Sebastian Piedmont again. Oh and by the way it fell short of $15000 dollars. Stay away from these people. I can’t believe what happened to me and the stress put my in the hospital!!

Great firm expensive but you pay what you get.recommended

Great law group

Paid 8,500 to start a retainer. There has been only two continuance and an emergency filling just drafter. Now they’re saying hey you burned through almost a 9k retainer and now you must pay 3k additional to continue having your case being handle by our firm otherwise we can’t represent you anymore. I saw the invoices and what they charged was text messages/ a few phone calls. Worse law firm all they do it’s steal your money

Thank you so much to Matt Guthrie for the quick help in the matter and being so listening and helpful during the whole ordeal

I hired the Colwell Law Group in representing my legal fight for custody of my Daughter. Sabastian Piedmont was my attorney and he worked tirelessly on our case to obtain the relief we were seeking. Though the case was very difficult, Mr. Piedmont was there at every angle and continues to provide support through the process. We are very appreciative of everything he and the firm were able to accomplish on our behalf to look out for my Daughter's well being. If you want a professional attorney who will 'fight the good fight', definitely hire Attorney Piedmont and the Colwell Law Group! You will not be disappointed!

I recently had the privilege of working with Ms. Vanessa Sanders, Colwell Law Group, during a challenging and emotionally charged divorce process, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our very first meeting, Vanessa demonstrated a remarkable blend of professionalism, compassion, and legal expertise that truly set her apart. What impressed me most was her ability to simplify complex legal jargon into clear, actionable advice. She took the time to understand my unique situation and provided personalized strategies that were not only legally sound but also aligned with my personal goals. Her attention to detail and thorough preparation ensured that I felt confident and well-informed throughout every stage of the process. Vanessa was incredibly responsive and available whenever I had questions or concerns, often going above and beyond to provide reassurance and support. Her negotiation skills were particularly noteworthy; she managed to achieve a fair/favorable settlement that met my needs while maintaining a respectful and constructive dialogue with my former spouse’s attorney. Beyond her legal acumen, Vanessa exhibited genuine empathy and understanding, making a difficult experience much more manageable. Her support extended beyond just the legal aspects, offering a sense of stability and clarity when it was needed most. If you are seeking a divorce lawyer who combines expertise with a compassionate approach, Vanessa Sanders is an exceptional choice. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of skilled and considerate legal representation.

Matt Guthrie is a fantastic and supportive family attorney. He assisted me with a custody case, and gave me the peace of mind I needed. I highly recommend the kind professionals at the Colwell Law Firm, as everyone was extremely professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and respectful. Matt earned my trust, and I would recommend him for any family legal matters.
