What Our Clients Say About Colwell Law Group

In the interview process, Lisa showed genuine interest in my circumstances and quickly recognized its uniqueness. She continued to ask questions that made me re-examine my situation from another perspective. While the information related to the legal processes was very helpful, I especially appreciated Lisa’s compassionate approach. Not only was she smart, knowledgeable, pleasant, and easy to talk with, but I felt she went above and beyond with me to embrace the uniqueness of my situation through a kindhearted and caring conversation.

The Colwell Law Group assigned Anthony Sokolowski, Esq., to my divorce case in May 2021.

Anthony consistently updated me on the latest developments with my divorce case via emails and phone calls while providing sound and reasonable legal advice to produce the best outcomes for me and my two sons. Also, Anthony, in addition to... Read More

Attorney Kevin Colwell (Kevin) and his firm helped my wife and I sell our house. It had been nine years since I sold a house, so I needed to be guided through the entire process, from the contract to the sale. A couple of snags arose during the deal where Kevin had to advise us on how to respond, for example, to the buyer’s discovery of deficiencies in the structure. His advice proved to be right on target, keeping the buyers from dropping the deal. We exchanged many emails, with... Read More

A divorce is not a great process for anyone. This was the most difficult time for me to go through. I had many issues to go through and needed much help.

I was very impressed with how she handled my case; she was very knowledgeable, professional, and always under control, for which I have much respect. During my case, I have not received much cooperation from my... Read More

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.read more

The kindness and understanding shown to me when I called this group for help was something I had not experienced... before. Jill explained in great detail what they thought they could do to help me. She spent time and most of all showed me great compassion. I was not prepared for the empathetic response. I highly recommend this group. I felt like they treated me as a family member, not a stranger. This is unusual in a world that sometimes forgets to be humane to one another. I am very thankful to her, and look forward to working with them.read more

I like the starting process here. You don’t have to pay a few hundred dollars initial consultation fee just to... understand how the lawyers to handle your case. Instead, you meet with a very experienced customer relationship person to take the background information and arrange the legal support for you. I met with Linsey and very much impressed with her professionalism and compassion. She’s knowledgeable, responsible, and cares. I’m happy with the experience.read more

I retained Anthony Sokolowski, 17 months into my divorce and custody case. I could not have made a better decision.... Anthony, wanted to understand where exactly we were in the divorce/custody case, so that he could be sure that we were all working together towards a common goal.Anthony was not only understanding that divorce and custody cases are hard, but was also willing to work around my work schedule, always listened to what I had to say, and addressed each and every concern, always made sure that I fully understood each and every possible outcome. Even though this was a hard case to handle, he always made me feel important, and that he truly cared and not that I was just another paying client on his books.I could not have been happier with the decision to retain him for counsel, he went with every twist that this case had, and there was plenty always ensuring me that things will get better, and we are in this together. Anthony took a already hard situation, and made each conversation feel a little lighter with his sense of humor, and kind words. It was nice to finally have counsel that truly cared, and we were working towards a common goal. While working towards a common goal we were finally able to end the case, and everyone is pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend him, to friends or family in the event that they were dealt the cards I was.Anthony truly is a stunning attorney, with a gentle heart, kinds words, and has a unique ability to be able shed some light on our darkest of days.Thankful for all those i encountered at the firm, but more importantly thankful for Anthony's understanding, and flexibility because this was a tough case, he took it on without even knowing the history of 17 months.read more
