Best Decision I Made

I was in very deep with another attorney who was not on his game and allowed my case to fall unfairly into the other direction. Thankfully I was referred to Aisha. After switching she was able to turn things back to a more fair settlement. She is an expert in her field and her rates are reasonable co...mpared to other. I only wish I had her from the beginning of my case.

Professional, knowledgeable and kind.

Aisha Collins is the smartest, most empathic attorney I've ever dealt with. She understands 'real life' relationship issues and she helps her clients to navigate the complexities of the legal/court system with ease. She understands that divorces and child custody proceedings can be difficult and pain...ful. She will consult and work with her clients, even on the weekends. Aisha Collins is awesome!

BEST ATTORNEY IN ATLANTA!

A lawyer who finally understands the complexity of difficult divorces, angry spouses, and what is truly in the best interest of the children. Ethical, responsible, detail-oriented, practical, intelligent, and fearless when it comes to doing the right thing!

PREPARED AND PROFESSIONALISM.

PREPARED AND PROFESSIONALISM. Aisha is phenomenal. When she takes you on as client she is giving no less than 200%. She will see your case completely through with solid research and class. I was thoroughly impressed with Aisha. Without specifics I had a case that was threatening me losing custod...y of my children because of an out of state divorce decree. That has been completely overturned with me now having sole custody of my children. This has been sleepless nights and lots of unsettled nerves before I met Aisha. If you ever need a Family Law Attorney look no further I promise you, she is the best!

Review for Aisha Blanchard Collins

Aisha represented us in filing a grandparent visitation petition which eventually went to trial. Throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation through the end of the trial and obtaining an approved court order granting us a generous visitation schedule, Aisha proved herself to be co...mpassionate, honest, hardworking, extremely knowledgeable and approachable. This situation was extremely stressful for our entire family, and we honestly feel we could not have chosen a better attorney to represent us. Aisha is passionate about speaking out for children who cannot speak for themselves and working for what she and her clients believe to be in the child's best interest. Our case was complicated, and we had to prepare for trial, while at the same time hoping to resolve the visitation issue through mediation. During this period of approximately ten months, Aisha arranged for and attended temporary hearings with the court, which granted us monthly visitation periods, enabling us to maintain the close relationship we have had with our grandchild since birth until going to trial and obtaining a final court order in our favor, nearly eleven months after filing the petition. Aisha understood that this process was very difficult for us and was always so thoughtful about keeping us informed of any developments in our case in a timely manner. She seems to view her job as acting as the vehicle to work with her clients to achieve their goals, but also to educate them and to encourage them to work toward a solution through mediation whenever possible, and realizes how traumatic going to trial can be for families, even while relishing the process herself because that is what she is trained to do. I personally always felt a million times better after meeting with or speaking on the phone with Aisha. She was always there for us, making sure we had whatever numbers we needed to be able to contact her at all times in case of emergencies, and never once failed to answer any of our many questions with thoughtful, deliberate, and detailed care until our queries had been fully answered. We feel that Aisha is one of those people who is extremely good at her job, simply because she is doing what she loves to do - helping families in crisis. Because of Aisha's compassion, knowledge of family law, courtroom presence, hard work and dedication to her craft, our grandchild's grandparents were not summarily removed from her life and our, and exponentially our entire family's, relationship with her will continue to flourish, which we can definitely say, makes all of us very happy indeed. In closing, I will say that when we began this very harrowing experience we were counselled by virtually everyone who knew of our situation to avoid hiring an attorney and going to court, and we were extremely reluctant to do so having never imagined that we would ever be in such a position. It soon became clear, however, that after allowing our grandchild to live with and bond with us as an infant and spend a significant amount of time with us for the first several years of her life, she was never going to be allowed to see us again; and so we felt we had no other choice. Having said that, we could not have chosen a better person to represent us and would most definitely recommend Aisha to anyone finding themselves in need of a family law attorney. Aisha also serves many families as a reputable guardian ad litem, where she once again proves her dedication to helping and speaking out for children. Each time we see our grandchild, and are able to experience how happy and grateful she is to be with us and how much she looks forward to our visits, we are reminded that none of this would be possible if not for the efforts of Aisha who is an extremely hardworking and dedicated attorney.
