Excellent Divorce Attorney

Christian Collin is an excellent divorce attorney. I retained Christian two years ago to handle my divorce. Before retaining Christian, I researched local divorce attorneys and met with or spoke to several. I chose Christian because of his credentials and experience and because Christian seemed very ...intelligent and knowledgeable in his field. Although my case is still in a relatively early stage (mostly because of the COVID situation), I have been very happy with the results Christian has achieved for me so far. A year and a half ago, I had to move out of the marital home because of my wife’s abusive behavior. Christian then filed a petition for my wife to pay me monthly maintenance, which the court granted. When my wife persisted in being late in making the maintenance payments, Christian filed a petition to hold her in contempt, which the court also granted. Since then, she has paid on time. Recently, Christian convinced the court to order my wife to pay my attorney’s fees going forward. I have been very impressed with how Christian handles himself in court. He is calm, well-spoken, and respectful of the judge. We are now approaching the stage of proceedings that involves further discovery, such as depositions of the parties and witnesses, and identification and division of martial assets. I will update this review in the future.

Very Professional, Prompt, Kind and Effective!

I want to thank attorney Collin for all his hard work on my case! He is very professional, prompt, kind, and effective. He always kept me up to date on everything through my whole ordeal. Even following divorce, I was in an overwhelming situation for almost 7 years until met attorney Collin. He al...ways went through everything step by step to make sure I understood everything. I would highly recommend attorney Collin if you need an attorney in family law. He made himself available to me at any time throughout the process, was extremely prompt with his replies, offered support to me as a human as well, and in the end helped me reach the orders I was comfortable with. Thank you!

Exellent Advocate. Highly recommentded.

I contacted Mr. Collin under very stressful circumstances. He was not only level headed and kind, but immediately made me feel like I was in good hands. He acted swiftly and effectively, responded quickly, explained things factually and guided my decisions thoughtfully and in my best interest . He... provided the most tremendous advocacy I could have asked for in a complex, emotional, (international) divorce. I'm grateful and could not recommend him more. Things moved quickly and smoothly; and over the entire series of events I felt like I was in control of my future. I'm very grateful that I found him in what can seem to be an endless network of lawyers.

Excellent Attorney

Had a consultation with Mr. Collins and he was very attentive, understood my concerns and gave me the best advise. Would highly recommend Mr. Collins and will defiantly be referring him to other potential clients that need legal help.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
