However, his desire to defend the underdog and passion to fight for a purpose led him to Temple Law School’s top-ranked Trial Advocacy program. Mr. Coleman earned multiple awards including Outstanding Oral Advocate, Distinguished Class Performer, and, for his negotiating skills, the Integrated Transactional Program. Ultimately, Mr. Coleman attained his juris doctorate with honors as cum laude.Following law school, Mr. Coleman jumped right into the action at one of Philadelphia’s largest criminal defense firms, where he represented thousands of clients and litigated hundreds of motions and trials. His combination of of trial advocacy and cinematic flair earned him the name “Hollywood” for his stunning ability to sell the defense’s side of the story to both judge and jury.Mr. Coleman’s victories in the courtroom are too numerous to measure. He gives every client the respect they have earned, the attention that they deserve, and never backs down from a challenge.

Mr. Coleman put up a hell of a fight with the DA’s office and in court . He let them know that they did not have enough evidence against my son and that they were wrong for trying to sentence my son for crime he didn't commit . My son was charge of rape he was going to do 40 to 60 years in jail . I hope that no one goes through what my son and my family when through for the pass 18 month but if you do Mr. Coleman will be the lawyer to call to help you. He has being a blessing to son my family and me . Thank you Mr. Coleman for everything you have done.

My lawyer put up a hell of a fight with the DA’s office. He let them know that they did not have enough evidence against me and that they were wrong for trying to send me to jail. If feel if it was more lawyers like him the criminal justice system would be better. This system does not want to give people a chance even when they make a small mistake, but my lawyer is the complete opposite way.

Mr. Coleman not only has a vast knowledge of PA law but also understands his clients. He took the time to carefully review my case, and gave me a realistic expectation of what to expect in the worst case scenario. One of my primary concerns was the possibility of losing my firearms rights in PA and he helped create a defense strategy to avoid losing these rights. He really takes the time to research your case and review all of your options before heading to trial. With his years of experience and reputation in the Philadelphia courts he managed to get my case dismissed before I even had to make a third appearance. Lastly, I found his rates to be extremely reasonable compared to other attorney's, especially for the top notch service he provided. You can tell he truly cares about giving his clients the best representation possible.
