introduction
Attorney Colleen A. Dunbar has been practicing law for over 30 years as a solo practitioner in the areas of criminal defense and family law. She brings to each area of her practice a remarkable degree of insight gained from personal experience, resulting in effective legal representation. Let her years of experience work for you.
In criminal defense, she's been called a barracuda with a smile for her aggressive defense of her clients' rights. Her many high-profile criminal cases have made her one of the most visible attorneys in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She has defended numerous clients on charges ranging from capital murder to a recent, widely publicized case of manslaughter involving "racing," that is, jumping the gun on a green light or speeding up to get through a yellow light. Lawyer Colleen A. Dunbar is a motivated professional who aggressively pursues the interests of her clients. It pays to have experience on your side.
In addition to representing thousands of criminal defendants in court, Dunbar has had the experience of serving as foreman on several felony juries deciding criminal cases. These experiences have given her a greater understanding of how juries evaluate the cases presented to them. For seasoned legal representation in felony and misdemeanor cases and a free initial phone consultation, contact attorney Colleen A. Dunbar.
In family law and divorce cases, Dunbar's compassionate legal counsel helps families move through one of the most emotionally trying experiences a family can encounter. It is never easy, but with support and effective legal counsel, family members can emerge from this process with a reasonable working relationship and a shared understanding of the needs of the children regarding child custody, child support, and visitation.
When Colleen A. Dunbar was a child, her parents were involved in an extraordinarily hotly contested divorce and child custody case. It was a horrible experience for young Colleen, who had to testify in court against a parent. That wrenching experience has had a great impact on the way Dunbar handles divorce and child custody cases today.
I will never allow (a divorcing couple) to forget what this is all about the children. A child's life will be forever altered by the decisions (the parents) make during divorce. They have to take those children into consideration.
Families that seek Dunbar's legal counsel during a divorce value her empathy, understanding, and consideration for the needs of their children. They know her as an insightful lawyer and trust her to seek legal remedies that ensure the security of children and families. For compassionate, supportive legal representation in cases of divorce and child custody and a free initial phone consultation contact Colleen A. Dunbar.
