Excellent!

Kevin Collins has been forthright and compassionate. He was persistent in defending our son and we had the best outcome. Mr. Collins answered all of our questions and concerns and kept us up to date as the process continued. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

The Best!

Kevin Collins is without a doubt the best attorney to have on your side. His professionalism, knowledge, and reputation are second to none. Having Mr. Collins as my attorney saved my life. While facing several ridiculous felony charges which could have landed me in prison for the rest of my life, Mr.... Collins and his team were able to get me a great outcome with no jail time. I'am not only blessed to have had Mr. Collins as my attorney, but also proud to now have him as my friend.

Best outcome possible

Kevin Collins is an absolute professional. He worked diligently and got me the best outcome possible in what was a very grim situation. He was always there when I needed him, just a phone call away. He was always straightforward and always kept me informed every step of the way. Mr. Collins knows exa...ctly what he’s doing, his experience speaks for itself. If you’re on the fence or unsure don’t be pick him he’s worth it, after all was said and done I would choose him again to represent me.

Best lawyer on your side

Mr. Collins is a very experienced and exceptional fighter for his clients. Good kids sometimes make bad judgements at school, but with zero tolerance from school districts and statutory mandates to report so much to authorities, a teenager can easily end up facing potential legal consequences that ca...n ruin their lives before it even starts over silly mistakes. We hired Mr. Collins and with his strong knowledge of juvenile cases on our side, we were not disappointed, he represented us, and the case was rejected, thank you Mr. Collins.

no drama excellence

My son was charged with a felony for having a pellet gun at school in his backpack. Mr. Collins was able to have the felony dismissed pre-trial, preventing my son from having a felony conviction for the rest of his life for what was essentially a stupid-teenager decision. Aside from the no-drama, ef...ficient dismissal, I appreciated Mr. Collins’ firm but compassionate wake-up call to my son when he laid out the ramifications of what he had done and the consequences he could face. As a citizen, I appreciated Mr. Collins’ care in assessing that this was a stupid rather than malicious act. As his customer, I appreciated that when I first contacted him, he hiked up to the top of a hill to get good cell reception from a family vacation in order to communicate directly with me during my time of need. In all things, Kevin Collins strikes me as an ethical, intelligent, hardworking, well-connected and knowledgeable advocate, and I am very grateful for his work on behalf of our family.

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.
