You want her in your corner!!!!

Colleen met with me initially to go over my case. She was an excellent listener and gave helpful feedback during that initial consultation. There was no pressure to hire her whatsoever but I could see after our meeting that she was clearly someone who I wanted in MY corner. Throughout the process of ...my divorce, she always made me feel like I was a priority even though I know she was handling MANY others cases at the same time. She always took my calls when she was able to or called back at her first opportunity. She was incredibly thorough and detail oriented throughout the whole process and always had my best interest at heart. She is a fierce advocate for her clients and takes their best interest personally. In addition to her excellent performance as a litigator, she is also a wonderful human being and so much fun to be around. She put me at ease on the most stressful days and always kept me informed every step of the way...sometimes responding to emails in the middle of the night. I can’t even count how many times I said to myself or others how thankful I was that she was representing ME and not my ex. I would NOT want to go up against her in a case. She is a force to be reckoned with wrapped in an unassuming and petite little package. If you hire Colleen, you won’t regret it!

Shes the Best!

From the moment I walked into Colleen's office she made me feel so comfortable. She is so friendly and honest. I had no idea how the judicial system worked or what to expect and she made everything so easy for me. She was always quick to respond when I contacted her and would always answer every que...stion I had. She is a great attorney and I highly recommend her!

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.

Exactly what I needed

A friend of mine referred me to Colleen. I live out of state and the matter concerned one of my daughters coming off child support. Last time I went to court it was a disaster and Colleen did an amazing job of understanding how to proceed to get right to the point without all the emotional garbage I ...would have thrown into a pro se court motion. Colleen protected me from myself and got me a better adjustment than I expected. She's the best!

"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."
