Mr. Colin and his team are wonderful. They helped me through this long drawn out process, made me feel comfortable during the deposition and mediation also through this whole process which started in September 2024. Answered every question I had. They always stayed in touch with me when they said they were going to. We did settle on a number more than what I anticipated. I would recommend Mr. Colin for any injury Lawyer in the Austin area.

My case took 2yrs to resolve, and there were times I thought it was not going to be resolved. Kelley Wolff Attorney Travis stayed true to his word. There were many times when I doubted the updated reports of my case but Travis made sure he reached out to go over the information given until I felt secure in next steps of my case. This group can be trusted to follow through and resolve your case no matter how long it may take.

My husband and I were in a car accident in December '23 and both sustained spinal injuries. We were definitely overwhelmed getting through the holidays that year, and finding Kelley Wolff helped tremendously. After they accepted our case, they took care of everything to get us set up with medical appointments. The medical process was seamless due to their assistance. We completed treatment within around 4-5 months and then moved from Texas to Colorado - I was worried that this would complicate our case, but they took care to ensure it wouldn't complicate or drag it out.Travis & Colin kept us informed throughout the process, and were very helpful when it came time to give our depositions. We both felt very prepared for the process. Our case ultimately went to mediation, and they ensured we were well-prepared for the mediation, including what to expect during and after. The mediator was able to propose a solution that worked for all parties, which we gladly accepted. Once the funds were approved and allocated, we received checks the next business day.We are so glad to be done with this process, only because it was stressful, but I highly recommend consulting Kelley Wolff if you find yourself in a car accident or other personal injury case. Travis & Colin are both exceptionally kind, brilliant, and thorough attorneys, and I feel confident recommending them to any of my loved ones.
