Mrs

Colleen represented me in my divorce. She was very knowledgeable and efficient throughout the entire process. She was so kind and understanding during such an emotional time for me but could be tough when warranted. She was very honest and straightforward when it came to the settlement, making sur...e it was fair and in my best interest. She was always quick to respond to my questions and concerns and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I am very grateful for her service and would highly recommend her.

Colleen was great!

Colleen represented me in my divorce and I felt that she was always 100% behind me and looking out for my best interests. She was patient with all my work travel and understood that my priority was my children. She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I recommend her highly!

very good counsel

Ms. Collins represented me for my divorce case and, while the case itself was based on amiable terms - no overly complicated legal issues, her support in navigating the legal system was so good that essentially my interaction with the system itself was almost zero. Normally divorces are not an easy t...hing to get through but she really made this feel like a walk in the park. Additionally, her service was provided in such a way that I didn't feel like getting advice from a 'legal suit' but from a very close friend.

Attorney review

I needed a review of a divorce contract that I negotiated on my own. Colleen was able to meet me within a couple days of my request. Colleen reviewed the documents before our meeting, And She spent as long as I needed to explain the agreement. She was kind, patient and extremely knowledgable. She... let me know what was fair, and what wasn’t fair. She was also compassionate regarding the difficulty of divorce. She has a unique way of speaking in regular language that I could easily understand. I would definitely hire Colleen to represent me- and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a divorce attorney.

The ABSOLUTE best ATTORNEY!!!!!

Colleen and I have a long history together dating back to February 2015. I had many issues that had still needed to be resolved post my very difficult divorce in 2012. In a very emotional and mentally taxing time Colleen has always been my moral compass. She kept me level and always gave me good s...ound legal advice even when I didn't want to take the high road. I knew that she was always working hard for me and would fight till the very end. My ex has taken me back to court many MANY times and I honestly couldn't have gotten through any of it without her. She knows the ins and out of the law. I was always amazed by her ability to take all of my documents and notes and prepare a motion that is not only grammatically strong but conveyed all of the pertinent and relevant information to the court. When it was finally time for me to have my day in court. Colleen has always been ready! And has a COMMANDING presence in the courtroom. She's concise, organized and very methodical when preparing and going before the Judge. Always readily available whenever I called (many times) and if she was with a client she always got back to me in a timely manner and no matter the question she always had the answer. I have young children so I know for fact that there will be many times in the future that I will no doubt have to return. I know I will be okay with Colleen by my side!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I did an extensive search on AVVO and narrowed it down to Colleen and another attorney. After speaking with Colleen, I knew she was the right attorney. We worked together on a family matter and she did the heavy lifting. She made 16 different requests for relief from the Court and got 15 of them! If you are a client who needs family law help OR another attorney, pick up the phone now before your opponent does. She's the real deal."
