Very thorough and helpful
Colin helped me through a high-conflict divorce. I appreciated that Colin was concerned about my finances and well-being while also not over-promising anything. He is very ethical and aware of the current laws, opposing counsels, and all of the fine details that go into these difficult situations.

Incredibly Helpful
Colin recently helped me get through a not so pleasant divorce. Through the entire ordeal he was very helpful, knowledgeable, and honest. He took the time to answer all of the million questions I had. Very grateful and lucky to have had him to help me through the entire process.
