The Worst Attorney

I hired Kyle Collins by reference to get my hubby out for a misdemeanor. He did get him out that night I paid. However, communication from there was impossible. Every time I called, he yelled at me and had a very nasty attitude as if I was wrong for calling to inquire on my hubby's case. My husband ...even attempt ed to contact him regarding his case and was yelled at too and was told he should be happy he is out because he has other clients that are worse off. He would never call to update my husband on his case nor his court dates. He kept resetting his case. Some days he would not even show up to court for his case. He is very difficult to deal with and has an attitude out of this world. He is very short with you in conversation and very short tempered. He will also hang up on you if you continue to ask questions. This guy is only good to get you out. Other than that, RUN...

Never in your life!

I do not care if Kyle Collins is the last attorney on the face of this planet do not do it! I would rather commit UPL and take care of everything myself, which is what you would need to do in order to get any work done if you hire this worthless "man". I gave Kyle Collins $1000 to take over a case wh...ich ultimately ended in a bond forfeiture because he insisted the court date was reset. I tried meeting him on numerous.. NUMEROUS.. occasions to get this issue rectified. Almost a year later and he is STILL giving me the run around.

"I Got You..."

Wow, where to start. I waited a few years to write this review but if I were to do it AFTER I had to release him and get a new lawyer, it would have been a lot nastier. I was recommended this lawyer from a friend of mine who had success with this lawyer to get rid of a traffic ticket, and he came... highly recommended. However, for my case, which was relatively high profile, Kyle Collins didn't know what he was doing. I think he can be trusted for traffic tickets, but nothing higher than that. He was unprofessional, and not knowledgable about criminal court proceedings. If I would have stuck with him, I would have likely been thrown in jail for countless years. It was a complete waste of my money, but I learned a valuable lesson. The unprofessional part is just not acceptable. I could tell that he was ticking off the district attorney and just generally causing a scene saying "That is just NOT RIGHT" and I could see my case slipping away right in front of my eyes. It was that moment that I decided to recruit a new lawyer. In the end he took a lot of my money, and didn't deliver anything except waste my time.
