Arlene has been a great attorney to work with and I can recommend her services wholeheartedly. She is competent, friendly, knowledgeable in her field and she handled my case well. I was able to get a hold of Arlene quickly as situations arose and she took the time to really explain things when I didn’t understand. Litigation is never pleasant but Arlene helped make a stressful situation much less so.
I was involved in a very serious automobile accident that has required me to have 12 surgeries up to now. If it would not of been for Arlene and her associates , I don't know what my family and I would have done or where we would of ended up. The Kid that hit me had Nationwide Insurance and believe me when I tell you, "Nationwide is not on your side" when it comes to doing the right thing. They did everything they could to intimidate me and my family. Nationwide hired the biggest law firm in Raleigh , Arlene never once backed down and made me feel safe. Her knowledge of the law was very impressive, but what was even more impressive was her work ethic and her compassion for someone that was almost killed by someone that was racing to get home so he and his dad could go fishing. She was constantly on the phone with me and or emailing me. I gave Arlene the nik name of "The Junk Yard Dog" because she stood her ground for what was right against one of the biggest insurance companies in the nation. I will never forget the long hours of work she put in. I would get emails from her at 2:30 in the morning. Having her on my side made all the difference in the world. If anyone is in need of a lawyer that wont B.S. you and will fight for you, then do yourself a favor and call her and find out for yourself.
Ms. Colon helped us with an issue involving my husband's ex-wife. The issue was quickly resolved once she became involved. She was very supportive throughout the process and I felt that what I paid her was reasonable. We have had to involve several attorrneys over the years to help us with issues related to the ex-wife's games. To date, Ms. Colon has been the only one to get any relief for us. Had the case not been moved 3 hrs away, we would have continued to use Ms. Colon, and I'm sure the outcome (of our recent court case) would have been more in our favor.
