I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Colburn Hintze Maletta (CHM). From my very first consultation, I was treated with kindness, patience, respect, and genuine professionalism. I came to the firm during an incredibly stressful and time-sensitive situation, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about my next steps. During my initial 45-minute consultation, the attorney took the time to listen, answer my questions thoroughly, explain my options, and provide valuable legal insight. I never felt rushed, dismissed, or unheard. By the end of our conversation, I had gained something truly invaluable: clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. That level of professionalism, understanding, and customer care speaks volumes about the character of a firm. Should I ever need legal representation in the future, Colburn Hintze Maletta will absolutely be among my first calls. Thank you, CHM, for demonstrating that exceptional legal service can come with compassion, integrity, and a personal touch. You have earned my trust and my highest recommendation!

I will never be able to thank Kyle and Sarahi enough for helping me navigate one of the darkest and most difficult chapters of my life. From the very beginning, they took the time to truly listen, believe me, and make sure every detail surrounding my case was heard and never overlooked. Their dedication, compassion, and hard work made a difference that words could never fully express. Because of their hard work, my case was dismissed, my babies were able to come home, and they now primarily reside with me. What they did for me goes far beyond their profession. They helped change the course of my life and, most importantly, helped bring my family back together.
I cannot recommend Katie Stapleton highly enough. She secured an outstanding result for me at trial, managing my entire divorce flawlessly while I was living overseas. Navigating a complex legal battle from a different time zone is incredibly stressful, but Katie made the distance completely irrelevant. She was consistently prompt, clear, and proactive in responding to my emails and calls. I never felt left in the dark or ignored. When it came time for trial, her preparation was unmatched. She fought fiercely, kept me informed at every turn, and delivered a phenomenal outcome that exceeded my expectations. If you need a divorce attorney who is reliable, sharp, and highly effective even from thousands of miles away. Hire Katie Stapleton!!
This law firm is incredible. Our case was extremely complex and what seemed near impossible to win, but Henry Alzate and the team at CHM won for us! Gina who is Henry's paralegal was so helpful from start to finish and this law firm worked with us so graciously in such a difficult fight. Henry was determined to make the wrongdoing to our family right and because of his work and determination we have full custody of our daughter! She's home with us where she is safe and protected thanks to CHM. We have tried on our own for years to fight this battle and when we hit a wall Henry broke through that for us. We are forever grateful to CHM. Thank you for bringing our daughter home!
I feel very fortunate to have been paired with Alysa to represent me in my prenuptial agreement. She was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every detail of the agreement in easy-to-understand terms, making sure I felt comfortable with and understood the terms. She was also extremely responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. We were working with a tight deadline, and she was able to get everything done efficiently and in a very timely manner. I truly appreciated her professionalism and the care she took to make sure I understood everything. I would absolutely recommend Alysa to anyone in need of assistance in this area of law!
I have dealt with Colburn Hintze Malette, PLLC for over 3 years off and on now. They have always been there when I needed to follow up on divorce strategy and life changing events. Jennifer Bone and Judie Rettelle (J&J I call them) are two of the nicest and patient people you would ever want to meet. Even though I moved from AZ back to Virginia, I retained them as my lawyers, and they have done a phenomenal job for me. Congrats to the management team that allows them flexibility to be themselves and make things easy to understand in the complex world of LAW. Highly recommend this LAW Firm.
My wife and I needed to rectify a custody issue with her daughter’s absent father. In order to do this we hired CHM and was provided two of their best! Caleb McKay and Justine Kim. Both did an excellent job in explaining what was needed, outlining step by step how the process worked and their responsibilities in achieving our desired outcome. They kept us informed throughout the process and calmed my wife’s fears. The process was quick (for something that involves the court) and I was pleasantly surprised at the cost. This is my second time utilizing this law firm and I have no qualms about highly recommending them to anyone with family law needs.
If you are in need of a family law attorney I highly recommend Lauren Bostick. She is extremely knowledgeable, organized, responsive, and gets matters resolved. She will lead you through the process. She communicates clearly and is personable. Look no further! Go and see her!
Lauren Bostick is incredible. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and contentious. She’s wonderful in the way of skill and keeping costs down. And best part? She’s personable. Highly recommend.
I retained Colburn Hintze Maletta PLLC in March 2024 to represent me in my divorce. Initially, I was assigned a female attorney whom I believed would help move my case forward quickly, as it was a relatively straightforward divorce with no children involved and a short-term marriage. Unfortunately, my initial experience was frustrating. I felt that progress was not being made without my repeatedly contacting the attorney for updates. Communication and case management did not meet my expectations, and I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of resolution. In March 2026, my attorney informed me that she was leaving the firm and gave me the option of following her to her new practice or remaining with Colburn Hintze Maletta. I chose to stay with the firm, and I am glad I did. After researching the attorneys recommended to me, I selected Caleb McKay and his paralegal, Justine. We scheduled a complimentary virtual consultation to discuss my case. From the beginning, Caleb made a very positive impression on me. He had reviewed my file before our meeting and acknowledged that my case should have been resolved much sooner. From that point forward, I felt I had a team that was genuinely paying attention to my case. Caleb worked to move things forward, including pushing for responses, outstanding documentation, and scheduling mediation. While delays involving the other party and opposing counsel were frustrating, I appreciated Caleb's efforts to keep things moving. Justine was equally impressive. She stayed on top of communications, kept me informed, and made sure I knew what was happening throughout the process. That level of communication made a real difference during an already difficult and emotionally draining time in my life. **Caleb and Justine are an excellent team.** They made me feel heard, valued, and supported rather than feeling like just another case on the books. Divorce is difficult enough, and having an attorney and paralegal who take your concerns seriously and work to move your case forward is incredibly important. I am grateful for the difference they made in my experience with the firm. If you are looking for an attorney who will take the time to understand your case and a paralegal who is attentive and responsive, I highly recommend Caleb McKay and Justine at Colburn Hintze Maletta PLLC! **HIGHLY RECOMMEND!**
