This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

This is the right attorney to hire for family matters

James is an amazing attorney. He helped me through a very difficult divorce. He is communicative, knows the law, not afraid to go to trial and his advice was always in my best interests. I would highly recommend James to anyone who needs help resolving any family situation that involves divorce or cu...stody. You won't be disappointed.

Credible, respectful & trustworthy attorney

Mr. Collier served my legal needs effectively & efficiently. He kept me apprised, promptly, of all details as they emerged from my case. He was very professional yet easy to talk to and I trusted his advice throughout the case. He also provided a fantastic reference for another legal situation I was... involved with, of which his legal services did not cover. I appreciate Mr. Collier & highly recommend him.

Outstanding experience

I have worked on a very very contentious and difficult divorce with a custody fight and with the attorney for my ex wife accusing me falsely of hiding assets and making me undergo a forensic audit. I changed lawyers to go with a more experienced litigator and James took over. He was able to get me,... a father of one 7 month old girl, a custody arrangement that gave me 48% of the total time and child support of $24.00 a month. The ex was the mother of three and spend over $100,000 trying to restrict my time with my daughter and extract large sums of money. I was overwhelmingly pleased. I would recommend James without reservation.

Professional

I used Mr. Collier In my divorce some time ago and would recommend him to anyone. He was courtious, professional, and knowledgable to the needs of my divorce. He even knew things to ask for that I had not even thought of. I really felt like he was looking out for me and my well being.
