True Professional

Kevin Collins has proven to be a true professional. With over 20 years as business professional I can appreciate the level of professionalism and care Kevin provided. Kevin ensured I was well informed and set clear expectations regarding his involvement and outcomes. He proved to be very knowledge...able and display a level of confidence and competence that made a difference in the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone in need of a top notch lawyer.

Great attorney

Kevin was extremely knowledgeable during my case. He was responsive to my questions and went above and beyond to ensure that I knew exactly what was going on with the case. He made me feel as if I was the only case he was working on. In addition, he was supportive during the case and ensured we had e...verything we needed the day of court.

Super Lawyer with a capital "S"

I had the good fortune of working with Kevin Collins on my case, I could not have made a better decision in my life and he was worth every penny, Kevin and his staff returned every call and e-mail I sent, Kevin also kept me up to date on all that was happening throughout the entire process. I thought... my life was over and it was Kevin that pulled me out of that slump, He told me - I can see you are a good person and sometimes good people make mistakes, we can get through this, so I left it in his hands and get through it we did. All charges were reduced to a single charge with a small fine and the stipulation it would be removed from my record after 90 days as long as there were no further problems. It was Kevin’s hands on approach and personal touch with all parties involved that got us through this, he is not afraid to go to trial and his positive attitude let’s you know he means business, Thanks Kevin for giving me my life back, I would highly recommend if you have a problem call Kevin Collins - the best lawyer around

Felony? What felony?

I was charged with a felony, and the facts of my case were very easily the type that could be twisted to support a bad story about me. The ultimate outcome of my case was a dismissal, and Mr. Collins was instrumental in securing that result. The best lawyers do not need to take copious amounts of... their clients' time, and Mr. Collins is one of those. When he calls you in, the process is efficient, and he knows what he needs to get from you or relay to you. Efficiency is the name of the game with Collins - his office support staff is excellent. Either he or his staff will keep you informed the moment things happen on your case. Collins is personable, and he's not going to distort the truth. You get what you pay for, and he's worth every penny - he's not afraid to go to trial, and he's Board Certified for Criminal and Juvenile law. The fact that he's willing to go to trial only works in your favor - even if all you seek is a plea bargain, he will get you the best one possible. Last, but not least, Collins uses technology in the courtroom. In an age where visuals and charisma are essential elements in a courtroom trial, Collins knows how to tell a story, and make it look believable/memorable as well. Collins will bring in a projector, and make his case on your behalf while the losing attorney is still getting high off his dry erase markers. Ask yourself - which side would you rather be on? The guy who looks sharp, gets along well with the jury, and presents professionally - or the other guy? Got a criminal matter? Don't say a word to the police (or anyone for that matter) until you've called Kevin Collins. Do it now.

Excellent Attorney

Kevin was extremely persistent, even through the numerous delays, and kept fighting through the tactics levied by the other lawyers. I felt very secure knowing he was defending my case, as he always kept me informed and clearly explained everything that was happening. Very courteous and professional....

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.
