"It would be impossible for me to over-thank, or even adequately thank Kaitlin Foley and the rest of the team at Colwell; they supported and steered me through a horrendously contentious divorce, which might well have broken me otherwise! I don't know if they are the cheapest firm out there, but I can't possibly regret what they did for me and how they put up with my constant questions (and frequent rants!). Thanks in no small part to their efforts, I am now happily divorced and getting on with my life - couldn't have got here without them!"

"I recently spoke with Sarah Alaimo at The Colwell Law Group, LLC. She was incredibly kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. She really took the time to listen and showed genuine sympathy for my situation, which I deeply appreciated. In the end, I didn’t retain the firm’s services because the retainer fee of $6,500 was just too high for me. That’s the main reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. Still, Sarah made a difficult conversation feel much easier, and I’m grateful for her professionalism and compassion."

"Fire the law firm to stop representing me after numerous of emails explaining how they were billing me incorrectly. Still claiming there is a 3k balance I owe. I have emailed their billing to explained how you sending me a pdf to inquire my net worth costs 3k?!? Just a few emails their stating it’s costing this much. Furthermore the net worth was not file/ the counterclaims document was not filed but yet they have the nerve to say they want more for no work being submitted. Stay away is my best advice for everyone. I have give them 8,500as a retainer that they claim it was all used up in less then a month. Paid another 3k in October otherwhise they denied to represent me."

"Would give them a zero star rating, but it is not possible. They have the worst turn-around time. Do not follow up with you. Based on the lack of good customer relations is why my rating is what it is… would suggest Nave Law Firm. They will bill you for work that they have not even performed!"

"If you want a lawyer who shakes in court, can’t answer questions the judge asks, overcharges you, doesn’t communicate when they make decisions days before a court appearance and your lawyer doesn’t appear or call to let you know they are sending someone else, neglects to listen, or appropriately respond to billing questions then these are the Lawyers for you! I wanted to like them and thought my case was pretty straightforward, however, instead of just worrying about my case I have been worrying about the terrible services provided by Colwell and what they will do next to disappoint."
