Brian J. Collins

My spouse & I found ourselves in a situation that we never thought we'd be in. We hired Brian to help us in this situation that required the expertise of a lawyer. The person who referred us to Brian said 'he has the perfect mix of being the best lawyer and still has a great 'bedside manner'. They... weren't kidding. Brian knows what he's doing. He knows the system, he takes the lead, asks all the right questions, does the necessary research and makes whatever phone calls need to be made. Speaking of phone calls, he was quick to respond to ours. No question we had was stupid. He had a way of making us feel like his sole purpose was in protecting us. His swift actions and caring demeanor made you feel like he has your back! We trusted him completely, felt like we could be 100% honest with him. He had a calming effect on us, again it was the combination of his logical/realistic approach/thought process and his ability to just make you feel at ease. Before meeting him, I guess I just resigned myself to the idea that I wanted the best lawyer, regardless of whether I felt like I could really like/relate to the person. Brian gave us the best of both worlds. He was there for us, supporting us, encouraging us & fighting for us when we were in one of the scariest times of our lives. For the record, he won the case for us, but even if he hadn't, there is nothing he could have done better, and he will forever have my respect and gratitude. I have no critique on what Brian could have done better. We highly recommend Brian to our friends & anyone else.
