This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Collins Family Law Group was very helpful.

Collins Family Law Group was very helpful through a difficult time. Candice walked me through the process of divorce and child custody advising me on things that I had not considered. She helped me to protect my children and their best interests. I felt that it was well worth the investment to get he...r legal expertise.

The group of wonderful people

Candace Strickland and all other employees that work at the Monroe firm were always kind and extremely helpful. Prompt attention was given to my case from the very start until the end. If it weren't for the Collins Family Law Group I don't believe my case would have turned out as great as it did. Can...dace was on top of the whole case and provided comfort and guidance for my children through their difficult time during the whole process. The entire work force for this firm show love, compassion and dedication. High recommendations should be given to the group of wonderful people.

We are very grateful for their help.

We are so glad that we chose Collins Family Law Group to represent us in the stressful and emotional process of negotiating custody. Our attorney, Jessica Price, was not only professional, but very understanding of our circumstances and concerns. She immediately made us feel comfortable and took the ...time to explain any questions that arose. Besides our appointments, Jessica was easy to reach by phone or email and she always responded promptly. In the more frustrating moments of our case, she was also able to present our choices clearly so that we never felt pressured or confused about a certain decision. In the end, Jessica secured a custody agreement strongly in our favor and it was truly a relief to have her with us during our court hearing. We would use the services at Collins Family Law Group in a heartbeat if we ever required them again and they cannot be recommended highly enough. We are very grateful for their help.

Always on top of things

Always on top of things. Has helped me out many times with just a phone call. After 8 years I have called and still got answers from the same case. Nice to know that someone keeps up with you and knows you.

I highly recommend her and the Collins Law firm

Isla Tabrizi represented me and I cannot say enough good things about her. She was professional, prepared, knowledgeable and on my side, she listened to me and gave me great advice, most importantly she made me feel at ease and confident during the course of my legal transaction. I highly recommend h...er and the Collins Law firm.
