David was and is one of my best finds, he is bilingual (spa/eng) well mannered, well spoken, knowledgeable, a no b/s kind of person. I can't say enough good things about this man, I hope to remain in contact with him for as long as possible.

Mr.David C gave me the best possible out come in my case. He didn’t just settle. He’s relatable he’s very knowledgeable about his job. And if he say he can do it then he can! Don’t under estimate him and the price is right! I would never use anybody else.

I had a traffic Violation issue related to alcohol , David was the best . I went to this very frightened and without knowledge . He was there every step of the way , He explained all the procedure and all the outcomes and also keep me informed regularly , In my understanding he fought and got me the best outcome possible and will always recommend and use him for all my future legal issues .

I was looking for a lawyer to handle my divorce case. A case that I thought would have been relatively simple. It turned to be unnecessarily complicated. David was tremendously helpful thoughout the entire event. He is someone who will give you the straight truth. He doesn't string you along just to increase his bill. He's a great lawyer and a great guy.

David C, was able to calm my anxiety and provided sure guidance. Since this was a custody case, It was very troubling time for me--for different reasons--his no-nonsense style and knowledge of the law and the system were invaluable. Thank you, David!

David was contacted to assist with a very personal potentially criminal and civil case where discretion was needed. Though he was involved in several cases on the day I hired David, I requested an immediate meeting which required David to drop everything and drive an hour to meet in person which he did which helped me immensely in coping with the situation. Throughout a protracted legal process, he maintained complete discretion and interceded as necessary to ensure my only personal involvement in the situation was with him directly (no outside mail, calls or personal appearances in court ever required). He negotiated the criminal case to a simple violation and helped to quickly settle and end a related civil case that arose a couple years later. Excellent lawyer whose focus is on the client and client needs. Easily reachable at all times. You won't go wrong using David.

I hired Mr. Colgan to represent me in a family custody case against my child’s negligent Mother. I was very unfamiliar with the legal system when it came to family law. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and also helpful in making the information accessible to me. He was always available to me on the phone and I felt he gave my case the care and attention it needed. On top of being super professional I found his emotional intelligence spot on. Custody battles are horrible and emotionally draining. At moments when I felt dark he was able to help me see and to keep focus on the things that were important and this helped me to stay calm. As a Father fighting for full custody of my child in a court that often favors the Mothers I couldn’t have Asked for a better attorney than David Colgan.

What stood out the most to me about Mr. David Colgan from first impression was the care he offered and persistence he provided, There’s absolutely no limit for him he goes well above and beyond the expectations of a lawyers duties. Building the trust and confidence within him towards my case was easy flowing and genuine being a complete stranger at first, to now I feel he’s impacted my life due to what he’s offered and experience shown to me thus far being an amazing person overall but mainly being a outstanding lawyer! Would definitely recommend Mr. Colgan, Hire him!
