The Colwell Law Group, LLC

"Edited: This is a detailed review and I hope it helps others. Cons: I did notice the reviews and decided to take the chance anyway. At first, my experience was great. Consultation had me hopeful. However, consultation is not with an attorney. You cannot speak with an attorney until you pay the $6000 retainer fee and sign the Letter of Engagement. Then, you will be assigned an attorney. That is the first red flag. My attorney is James Lesperance. He is well versed and knowledgeable at what he does. He kept in contact with me quite often in the beginning and communicated well on what to expect in the coming court cases. 100% of the time he was right about what happened. I felt very comfortable with him. There was a lack in communication in later weeks, but having added a 2-star review, that has since changed. Sometimes you just have a to light a fire to get them moving. James is working diligently on everything for me. I will say that invoices come in frequently compared to what work is done on your case and that this firm is very costly. Pros: Friendly staff during consultation and most calls to the office. Had a question about my bill which they refunded some of it. Asked to amend the Engagement Letter, which they allowed. Attorney is knowledgeable and experienced. Firm contacted me to assure me that good communication will resume and it has. My next and hopefully last court date is June 1st. I'm hoping I can increase this review to 4 stars after that. At this time, James, I would give 3/5 stars. The firm itself gets a 3/5. Update 10/16 I was assigned a new attorney after James Lesperance left (Heather Harp). Well, Heather has also left the firm. Now I am on my third attorney 8 months in with no resolution to my case and THOUSANDS of dollars spent. I have not yet been reached out by the new attorney. I am so frustrated with this firm."

"Terrible new client interactions. You will not get a meaningful consultation. During the "consultation", I was asked the same questions for a 3rd time by a 3rd person. A person who seemingly knew absolutely nothing about the law, my case, or how it might be handled. They had not even familiarized themselves with what info had already answered / provided. It was like them trying to sell me a car without letting me see the car, or the salesperson knowing anything about the car. Just them asking for a $5,000 check."

"I was very fortunate and grateful to work with Kyle Starks. My situation was referred to as a "sicky-icky" problem by many lawyers, however, Kyle addressed it head on with patience, support, and understanding. I cannot thank him enough for standing by me to support me through the domestic violence part which played a significant role, as well as applying his knowledge to resolve the partition for selling the house. Kyle is a remarkable, professional, compassionate, and dedicated attorney! Thank you, Kyle!"

"I used colwell law group for my divorce 4 months ago. Marisa Gordon was my lawyer she was amazing. Definitely very knowledgeable and professional and helped me to understand all that was going on. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their services"

"I recently had the opportunity to work with Kyle Starks, a family court lawyer, and i was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and expertise. He went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. Throughout the entire process he maintained open lines of communication and promptly responded to all inquires. 10/10 recommend him!"
