I was so impressed with Andrea’s expertise. She handled my case with professionalism and achieved an outstanding result. I admired Andrea’s composure, work ethic and most of all her excellent representation. Communication was top notch. I was always updated and informed on my case. Andrea always advo...cated on my behalf and weighed all options. I highly recommend Andrea Collins .

Auto accident case

Andrea was referred And highly recommended to me through a friend. I had incurred a head injury, concussion, and other injuries through this car accident that when Andrea sat down with me to explain things was very patient and thoroughly explained everything to me. There were times throughout The p...rocess that I needed to find out things for her, That I had forgotten about And She went ahead and follow through and did it for me. She also came to my house to explain in detail step by step the process. She was very prompt in returning any phone calls or texts concerning any questions that I might have. I have dealt with attorneys before in other situations and never received the courtesy or patience that Andrea showed me throughout this process. I can’t say enough about Andrea except that if I ever had to go through any kind of ordeal again, I would definitely obtain her services again! A very satisfied client!!

Auto Accident Case

Andrea Collins is an amazing attorney. I was very lucky to have found SpyratosDavis Law Firm and to have been represented by Andrea in my auto accident case. My case turned out well and settled without a trial thanks to Andrea's help. I had a good rapport with Andrea from the start of our consultatio...n. I felt at ease speaking with her. She patiently listened to my case and concerns. She mapped out a plan of action for us and immediately began to advocate for me with the parties involved. She was always available to answer my questions and to calm down my worries. As a client, I felt relieved to have had such representation. Andrea is a talented and skillful attorney and I recommend her to anyone needing a strong but also empathetic representation.

Excellent Attorney!

Andrea represented me in a traffic personal injury matter. The event was very stressful for me and happened during an extremely stressful time for me in my life. Andrea was wonderful, kept me grounded and was a calming force for me. The litigation process took several years, and Andrea kept me we...ll informed step-by-step through the litigation process, eventually successfully settling the matter. Andrea is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend her.

Impeccable Experience

When I initially contacted Andrea Collins about her availability to represent me in filing for divorce, I was overwhelmed by the process. However - in just my first meeting with Andrea, she provided me with information and an outline for our next steps in such a kind and precise way that I felt capab...le, supported and enabled to move forward. Throughout the process, Andrea was unbelievably thorough and detailed, her communication impeccable and manner with me always warm and friendly. She answered my many, many questions with patience and detailed depth. Andrea created a space where I felt like I was working with someone who had the experience to guide me when I needed it, but also listen to my priorities. Due to Andrea's efficiency and excellent preparation, my divorce process (even amidst the changing court circumstances due to Covid-19) was smooth and not nearly the mountain of obstacles I had pictured in my mind. I will always, always be grateful for the way Andrea empowered and represented me so that I have been enabled to pursue a healthier life.
