Exceptional Divorce Attorney

When my divorce began, I consulted with a friend of mine who is a divorce attorney and he unequivocally said that Susannah was the best in town - he was not wrong. Susannah is the total package. She is an exceptionally smart and capable attorney as well as a skilled litigator in the courtroom. Every ...time we had a hearing, she was well prepared, knew the case throughly, and provided exceptional representation. She explains things well and does a fantastic job of keeping me informed. She worked hand in hand with me to reach the best end state we could in the divorce. She made recommendations but allowed me to provide the ultimate direction. She worked very efficiently to keep the costs manageable. Lastly, Susannah did a good job of managing expectations and providing counseling when it was needed, which is also part of the divorce attorney’s job. Overall, I give her my absolute highest recommendation. Furthermore, I know some of the other clients she has represented and they would all agree.

Divorce/Time-Sharing

Susannah is kind, well-versed in the law, compassionate and energetic. She did a great job of explaining my options, LISTENING to my needs and representing my interests and the interests of my children. The timeliness of her communication was exceptional-rarely other than same day. She is thorough an...d detailed. The support staff is very professional. I know I was zealously represented and couldn’t have asked for better outcomes. I have recommended RobinsonCollins at least a dozen times and will always return for any future legal needs.

Wonderful attorney

Susannah was a wonderful attorney. She made me feel protected during a scary and uncertain time in my life. She thought of every little detail and was very specific. She thought about my future and and I felt like I had a strong representative on my side. She was empathetic toward my situation, howev...er worked to make me see the bigger picture. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Mr.

Mrs. Collins was an absolute pleasure to work with and a consummate professional. She was timely with all aspects of my case; responsive to my court documents/petitions/questions; intelligent and extremely knowledgeable on all matters related to her specialty; and most importantly she was an advocat...e throughout the entire handling of my case and especially during court appearances. Even while I was out of the country, Mrs. Collins aggressively worked on my case and kept me informed of all related matters and outcomes.

Excellent Representation

Ms. Collins provided excellent counsel, advice and guidance throughout my entire process. She was responsive to my needs but was a great backstop in what always is a very difficult and stressful time. Her knowledge and experience were indispensable. Other than her professionalism and expertise, she i...s trustworthy.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
