Colt Burnett

A capable and diligent advocate for our small business

Our company recently faced a complex dispute with a former contractor over project delays and alleged defects, which quickly escalated into a formal legal threat. We were referred to Colt Burnett at Freeman Mathis & Gary, and his guidance proved invaluable. While he is early in his career, his knowledge was immediately apparent. He clearly leveraged the firm's deep resources in construction litigation, and his background in commercial and labor matters was a real asset as the dispute touched on subcontractor agreements. Colt meticulously analyzed our contracts and correspondence, providing a clear, strategic assessment of our position. He successfully negotiated a favorable settlement without the need for protracted litigation, saving us significant time and expense. His recognition in key practice areas is well-deserved. The only minor critique is that during the initial, very busy week of the case, there were a couple of instances where email responses took a full business day. However, once the strategy was set, communication was consistent and thorough. For a young attorney, Colt demonstrates remarkable poise and a practical, results-oriented approach. I would confidently recommend him to any Atlanta-area business navigating similar contractual or construction-related challenges.
