Keep looking

I hired Me. Collins when my son was arrested. He charged me $1200.00. I had heard I needed to keep reciepts, so I did! On the last payment, I made sure to tell him that this was the last payment. Every time we seen him after that, even with reminders that he has been paid in full. He continued to ask... for more money. Saying that people have paid him $5,000.00 or more to stay out of jail this long. So, along the way he kept reassuring us that he could get the case dropped. Well, that is not the case at all. He didn't even try. He had only discussed my son's case on the day he received his sentencing. Then, nothing was mentioned about dropping the case. I heard the whole conversation. Kyle is very rude, as all the other reviews suggest, and hard to get in touch with. I will not ever use him as a lawyer again.

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.
