Ms. Kollecas Delivers
I hired Ms. Kollecas to handle a traffic violation on my behalf. I was found "not guilty" on all counts. Nothing speaks louder than that. I am very happy with the service provided.

Excellent Results
Ms. Kollecas defended a family member who was looking at multiple traffic citations which, if convicted woud have resulted in the revocation of a driver's license. Her fee was reasonable, she kept us informed as the case developed, and ultimately gained dismissal of all charges. We were very pleased ...
"Great working with Lauren. She is very knowledgeable and at the same time friendly. It was a pleasure working against someone this bright."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Kollecas is driven and determined to achieve the best results for her clients. She clearly knows her way around courtrooms."
