    Review Daniel Collins

    Great Attorney

    Posted by

    I cannot say how grateful I was to have Dan as my attorney. He was committed to my defense from the beginning and explained things clearly as the case progressed. He displayed great patience with me as my case as it moved very slowly. He had a strategy and kept me focused on it. His strategy was successful. I would recommend Dan to anyone who needs a defense. He has the right balance of empathy and telling you the facts. He did a fantastic job.

    Amazing attorney

    You will not regret having Dan represent you whether your problem is big or small. Dan is competent, courteous, and most importantly fights for your case like it is his only case. He's always just a phone call away and always answers your questions without making you feel dumb. I have recommended Mr. Collins to several friends and they all had great experiences with him as well. You will too!

    Straightforward Lawyer

    Posted by

    Mr. Collins handled several cases of mine. First divorce and custody case, then came the many legal cases. From theft, possession, to enhanced DWI. He talked to me straightforward,as he would his own child. He also fought for me in court as if I were a close family member. In every single case, the outcome was better than I ever expected. I recommend him to any one I meet that has legal issues. He is one of the rare lawyers that has integrity.

    All I can say is that I'm extremely grateful and lucky to have had Daniel Collins as my appointed lawyer. I was booked on bogus hearsay and charged with aggravated assault. I have diabetes and terrible neuropathy pain in my legs. I went from having my medication to going completely cold turkey locked up in jail. I tried to convince my family to make my reasonable bond, but nobody did. I can't really put into words how bad my legs hurt, but sitting in jail was not an option. The only person who seemed to care about me was my lawyer mr. Collins. He always took my calls when it would have been just as easy to say he wasn't in the office. He actually listened to what i had to say. He came to see me in person, and never seemed impatient. I got my case taken care of, and now I'm back out. I still call Mr. Collins from time to time and ask him for advice. He still takes the time to genuinely speak with me. I can't thank him, and the people of the office enough for getting me through all this.
