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 her 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. Candace 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 her and the Collins Law firm.

Genuinely cared
Usually when you need an attorney it isn't under the best circumstances. Jessica Price was not there just to help me but she also listened to my situation and genuinely cared. I was informed step by step as to what the process is and what to expect next. Ms. Price got the results I wanted and was able to secure all that I asked for! I would highly recommend Ms. Price to anyone that is in need of an attorney!

Jessica Price has assisted me on multiple occasions.
Jessica Price has assisted me on multiple occasions. Let's be honest, needing an attorney is not usually a good thing, but Jessica has always made the process painless and emotionally comfortable. Jessica is responsive and demonstrates excellent customer service. She shows genuine concern for her clients and works to positively resolve issues. I would recommend Jessica to anyone and have many times. I am thankful for her and will return to Collins solely based on the care I received by Jessica!

They were always very responsive
This office was great for myself and my wife in a child support and custody case. They were always very responsive and detailed in their knowledge of the law. They are kind and focused on what is best for their clients. We were fortune not to have to go before a judge so I cannot speak to the performance in the court room.

She was quick to respond to any questions
I worked with Jessica Price during a very difficult and emotional time. She was very helpful, caring, informative, and efficient when dealing with our divorce settlement. She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns and was very clear in her explanation of the steps and terminology related to the process. I would most definitely recommend Collins Family Law Group and Jessica Price to friends and family. I plan to use Jessica in the future if I have any other needs, such as updating my will, etc.

Always responsive and provided outstanding client service!
Isla Tabrizi, and all staff at Collins Family Law Group that I worked with, were always responsive and provided outstanding client service! My case was particularly long and troublesome (due to a variety of external factors) and Ms. Tabrizi was steadfast in her advocacy of my case, always balanced with her recommendations, extremely competent in handling any challenging situation that arose, and in every way a consummate professional.
