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. Truly, she is a perfect person to make (initial) contact with clients, given the nature of your services.
Thank you again for such considerate customer service.

I had the opportunity to work with Anthony Sokolowski and his team of professionals. They were all kind, knowledgeable, organized, and responsive to my needs in a very timely fashion. They made a very difficult time comfortable and manageable. I was surprised at how quickly everything could be completed to my satisfaction. Great job! I would highly recommend you and your team to whoever needs your services. Great professionalism.
I wish to thank all the people with whom I’ve had contact at the Colwell Law Group. Everyone, without exception, has treated me with the utmost courtesy and professionalism.
I would especially like to recognize Anthony Sokolowski, who has been representing me. I am in my eighties and have never been involved personally in the justice system. He eased my fears and guided me through the press as comfortably as possible. He is efficient and professional. Whenever I reached out to him, he returned my calls promptly. He answered my questions and explained things in easy-to-understand language.
I found Anthony to be respectful, considerate, compassionate, and supportive. While always being professional, he listened to my concerns with empathy and understanding. I am most grateful.
The Colwell Law Group assigned Anthony Sokolowski, Esq., to my divorce case in May 2021. I immediately connected with Anthony’s ability to establish rapport during our first phone conversation, and his confidence assured me that I have the right attorney who will represent my best interests throughout my divorce matter. 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 the Colwell Law Group Team, demonstrated their ability to accommodate their clients when they provided flexible payment options to help me finance my divorce proceedings from the intake process to the final phase of my marital settlement. Finally, I appreciated Anthony’s availability, quick response to my questions, and passionate commitment to fighting for my best interests throughout my challenging divorce experience. I highly recommend Anthony to any father who wants an attorney who will go above and beyond to defend their rights as a parent dealing with a divorce. Thank you, Anthony and the entire Colwell Law Group Staff!!!
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 his responses to my questions or concerns coming promptly and with clear answers or explanations. His replies reduced the worries that I had while waiting to get a closing on the sale. We also spoke by phone after going through an administrative assistant in his office. Never was a request for information left unanswered. My wife and I couldn’t be in town for the closing, but we were very confident that with Kevin and his team there, everything would go smoothly. It was the perfect ending for something like this; we didn’t have to be there, and we were notified after the closing that it was all done without any last-minute changes by the buyers. I highly recommend Kevin Colwell.
