Great service, advice, and attitude

I was very pleased with Mr. Powers' services in regards to me case. He was always crystal clear with me on what our plans were, what possible next steps we could take, and what final result he would fight for regardless of the circumstances. Being that I was very emotionally sensitive to what had o...ccurred with me, Mr. Powers was always supportive and understanding of my feelings. I would recommend his services to anyone that comes to me looking for legal advice.

Great lawyer.

Gave me a consultation basically for free. Answered the phone when he was able and always returned the call if he missed it.

Legal Review for Benjamin Powers

I retained Benjamin Powers as my attorney approximately a year ago. I found myself in a legal situation which could have an outcome requiring me to possibly serve time in jail. I contacted Mr. Powers after a referral. Mr. Powers immediately put my mind at ease and was extremely attentive and professi...onal with our consultation. In addition, I was extremely impressed with his follow-up and his availability. I felt as if I was his only client due to the fact he always took time to answer my questions thoroughly. I cannot say enough for this attorney's knowledge of the law and professionalism. I recommend the Collins Firm in particular Benjamin Powers to anyone seeking legal council.

Ben the powerful!

Ben is by far one the best and brightest lawyers I have ever hired. He was very helpful and thorough with the details of my case. Not only did he treat me like a true, valued client, he was able to get the results i desired and truly made a great impression and an overall excellent experience. I woul...d highly recommend Mr. Powers to anyone in need of law advice or help. Thanks again Ben!

Coolest Lawyer Ever

Received a citation for DUI and I was freaking out. Went to Ben's office for a consultation and left with a lawyer confident that he could get that charge reduced to reckless driving. Fast forward a few months and he did just that. Not only did I get a lesser charge, I received fairly minimal penalt...ies. Being that I was facing a couple days in jail, 1+ year of probation, plus an exorbitant amount of fines and fees, walking away with 6 months probation was a blessing. In addition to doing all that he could to get a lesser charge, Ben also was very willing to work with me as far as his compensation was concerned. I appreciate all Ben has done for me and while I hope to never need another criminal defense lawyer EVER AGAIN, I would definitely give him a call if I did. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone in a similar situation!
