These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“Mr. Colbert is a passionate and zealous advocate for all of his clients. I am honored to be his colleague and if I am ever in need of an attorney, he is the first person I will call!”
“Mr. Colbert is the man that attorney's call when they need an attorney. I'm not sure that the accolades come any higher than that. I have had the occasion to collaborate with Mr. Colbert on a number of cases, and to strategize game plans. His eye for criminal defense is unparalleled and even his adversaries acknowledge his prowess in the court room. When friends and family members of staff in the courthouse, clerk's office and even the prosecutor's office need an attorney, his name is among the first that comes up. In addition to being a skilled litigator, he is also kind, compassionate and ethical. I have never seen Mr. Colbert take a short cut to victory, nor fudge any ethical lines. He is as ethical as he is skilled, and if I were to find myself or a family member afoul of the law, he would be the first and only call that I would make for representation. He has had some simply amazing trial victories, and they are all well deserved - because nobody works harder than he does. He is indeed a super lawyer, and it is an honor to nominate him as a super lawyer.”
