Cathleen M. Collins

We first met Cathleen a few years ago. It was a guardianship case. My husband and I were so new at this and Cathleen helped us every step of the way. These cases that involve guardianship are very trying on the families and create a lot of tension and mixed emotions. Cathleen helped keep us on an ev...en keel and explained every step of the way to us so we were able to handle it relatively calmly. Her knowledge of the system is her biggest asset but her patience and smile put the icing on the cake. I would not hesitate one second to refer her. The best is that even though it is over I still shoot a question to her here and there and she always responds. #1 in our books

Cathleen was available for questions, consultation, and understanding of our family dynamic. She always put the needs of my child first. She was aggressive, yet fair. She was determined to cover all aspects of my special needs son's life. She took the time to get to know of our family & our needs. I ...will continue to utilize her with all my legal needs that may arise in the future. Not only do I have great respect and trust in her, it was clear that the courts, themselves look up to her as a role model, an honest woman, and a fair & just person in the community. I highly recommend obtaining Cathleen as your attorney if you're looking for someone who really cares about you & your family being successful & happy.

I have hired Kathleen a few years back to start the process of divorce. She was very educated in family law and was there for me anytime I had a question via phone, email, and text. This was a very difficult time in my life because I'm not a believer in divorce and this did not just affect me but it... also affected my children. Without getting too specific Kathleen was really patient and understanding with my difficult situation. Even though I did not go through the complete process she kept me informed of choices I had going forward. I would definitely look to her and the practice going forward with any of my family law needs.

Cathleen was great to work with through my custody problems with my child's father. I was brought in on a short order 3 days before I was supposed to move 50 minutes from my childs father. He had made numerous frivolous accusations seeking full emergency custody. I only had 1 day to retain an atto...rney to represent me. I called dozens of attorneys and none of them were able to help me. Then I called Cathleen and she was willing to see me that day and come to court with me the following day. I was so relieved to have found Cathleen and that she was able to help me in such short notice. She represented me wonderfully and Dad and his attorney walked away from court with a visitation schedule instead of any type of custody. Cathleen continued to represent me for the proceedings that followed the short order. Throughout the case Cathleen was very informative and knowledgeable, she helped to put my anxious mind to rest when i had concerns and was very sincere regarding my situation. I felt very comfortable with Cathleen representing me. Her rates were very reasonable and she responded to my emails and calls promptly. I would definitely hire Cathleen again for any of my future legal issues!
