Rude Man Verbally Assaults Pregnant Woman and Her Two Year Old and Then Physically Attacks Her Husband When He is Asked to Apologize (CAPTURED ON VIDEO)

Kristin Varley, and her husband, Michael, have been happily shopping at the Baldwin Park Publix grocery store for years. On the late afternoon of July 13, 2015, Kristin, who is nine months pregnant, was in the process of getting into her car with her two year old child when Edwin Colon, drove up to the empty parking space next to hers. Seeing a pregnant woman struggling would cause most polite people to offer assistance.

Instead, Mr. Colon, a large and imposing man, yelled profanities at Kristin, in front of her two year old child, complaining that her grocery cart was in his way. When she asked for his patience due to her being pregnant, Mr. Colon said, ā€œyou should have thought about that before you f*ckin’ got pregnantā€. He became very hostile and aggressive toward Kristin, catching the attention of another female witness, who tried to intervene. Mr. Colon told the witness to ā€œmind her own businessā€. He then lumbered into Publix. The incident was also witnessed by a Publix employee.

Kristin’s husband, Michael, then approached Mr. Colon and asked that he apologize. Mr. Colon instead responded by saying, ā€œF*ck you, and f*ck your wifeā€. Mr. Colon then physically attacked Michael. A bystander captured the resulting struggle on video which unfortunately has now gone viral at a time when the Varleys’ only real hope was that they could be allowed to privately savor the joy of the birth of their second child.

Longwell Lawyers is pleased to represent Michael Varley. Any husband and father would expect to have his wife and two year old daughter treated by others with common courtesy, and would not want them to be assaulted with profanity. We support Michael in his efforts to seek an apology from Mr. Colon, who has yet to deliver anything other than rude and violent behavior.

“Mark understands strategy. He understands procedure. And most importantly, he understands how to protect his clients”

I have known Mark Longwell for years and worked alongside him on numerous cases during my time as a bail agent. From a professional standpoint, I have seen firsthand how he operates inside the criminal justice system. Mark understands strategy. He understands procedure. And most importantly, he understands how to protect his clients while navigating complex criminal cases. Preparation matters in this field — and he comes prepared. As someone who has spent years in the bail industry, I do not make recommendations lightly. I have observed his professionalism, courtroom presence, and ability to manage serious cases with discipline and focus. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney in Orlando who knows the system and knows how to move within it, Mark Longwell and his team are a firm I can confidently speak about from direct experience.

“We have never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to turn.”

We found ourselves in a situation where we needed a criminal defense attorney. We have never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to turn. A friend’s lawyer recommended Mark Longwell.
My husband called and left a message on Sat., Dec. 27. Mark himself returned the call within an hour. We hired them and they went right to work on my case.
There was an urgency as we were booked on a cruise 1/10 and I was told I could not leave the state of Florida. Our son was getting married on the ship and I didn’t know if I would be able to be there.
They made motions to allow me to leave the state and also to dismiss the case. Everything was running behind because of the holidays.
The morning of Jan. 6, Andrew called to tell me that my case was dismissed! I was never so happy or greatful in my life. A little later Mark called as well. They really went to work for me and I would recommend them to anyone.

“they are all very knowledgeable and have good communication and are great at their jobs.”

Had a great experience, they are all very knowledgeable and have good communication and are great at their jobs. Andrew was my lawyer and within a month my charges were dropped I never even had to go to court which is a relief. I can’t thank the team of Longwell lawyers enough. Might be costly but these guys are good at what they do
