PRACTICE AREAS

Criminal Defense

We know that being charged with a crime is among the worst things that could ever happen to you. We understand the stress and emotional toll that comes with being charged as well as the fear that it may affect your job, license, or family.

It can be overwhelming to go through this process alone, which is why you need a qualified, experienced, and skilled lawyer. Our aim through every step of the process is to provide you with the best possible outcome so that you can go back to your life.

The Law Office of James Colston exists solely to advocate on your behalf. We handle everything from infractions to A felonies. We provide defense for a variety of matters, including speeding, possession of controlled substances, DWI/DUI, burglary, theft, and more. Whether charged with a traffic ticket or major felony, our focus is on the same thing: you.

 

Domestic Relations

We know that nothing is closer to your heart than your family. Mr. Colston has a myriad of experience in Domestic Relations, ranging from work representing the Juvenile Office, representing children as a guardian ad litem, to representing clients acting as both plaintiffs and respondents in divorce and custody matters. Because of the stakes, it is important to get an attorney that can guide you through the process and make sure your rights are maintained.

We provide services in the following matters:

  • Child Support
  • Child Custody
  • Divorce
  • Modification
  • Family Access

Civil Litigation

The Law Office of James Colston represents clients on all sides and is prepared to fight for you, whether as a plaintiff, or in defense of a claim against you. Regardless of whether you’re dealing with an insurance company, a neighbor, or some unknown person, the civil litigation process is difficult to navigate.  We’re here to make sure you don’t have to do it alone. 

Make an appointment, come in for a consultation, and we will give you a free estimate of the strength of your case.
