Kevin Lloyd Collins

After being charged with a DWI I was referred to Mr Collins by a friend. After reviewing the case and video he presented me with the option of fighting it. After 14 months of deferrals we finally went to pretrial. The judge dismissed the case after Kevin's examination of the arresting officer. It was... well worth the $$$$.

I was charged with my 2nd DWI (ten years apart) and was referred to Mr. Collins by a friend who also hired him. Mr. Collins was very honest and upfront with what to expect at the initial consultation. I had refused the breathalyzer during my arrest and I was facing a lengthy license suspension but ...Mr. Collins was able to win the ALR hearing to prevent my license from getting suspended. This alone saved me a ton of problems and headaches. Since it was my 2nd DWI I had to install an Interlock device in my vehicle during the pre-trial process. I had a lockout one time after five months with the device. Once the pre-trial officer saw the lockout, he immediately notified the judge. Typically, a warrant is issued for your arrest but Mr. Collins was able to go down to the courthouse and talk to the judge and I was able to get off with a warning and no warrant issued. After reviewing all aspects of the case, Mr. Collins decided that our best course of action would be to try and plead it down to a DWI 1st offense. Given the evidence, I agreed. He was able to talk to the prosecutor to plead it down to a 1st offense. They proposed 18 months probation with an additional 9 months with an Interlock device and a DWI 1st with a BAC over 0.15. Even then Mr. Collins kept on fighting to get the best deal possible. He was able to lower the probation term down to 15 months, Interlock for 7 months, decreased my fines, and lowered the DWI with BAC over 0.15 down to simply a DWI 1st. Given the circumstances, I was pleased with the outcome. Mr. Collins is extremely good at what he does. You can tell when he walks into the courtroom that people respect him. It seems like a lot of people know him and go out of their way to say hi. He is courteous to the judge, other attorneys, prosecutors, and even the police officers that arrested me. He is a true professional and I highly recommend him.

Mr. Collins was extremely helpful & professional throughout my entire experience with him. He was able to get both of my cases dismissed. He was ALWAYS available when I needed to talk to him and his secretary Nancy was wonderful & helpful as well. I would highly recommend Mr. Collins. It was the best... money I've ever spent and I'm eternally grateful for his hard work.

I was acquitted from a DWI charge ONLY because Kevin defended me. His intelligent questioning, quick thinking, and superior knowledge of the law, is the reason justice prevailed. He methodically dissected the prosecutions case from start to finish. In my first case i was detained, asked to perfor...m a field sobriety test, questioned then arrested. I refused to provide the breath test, and the (Unconstitutional) Blood draw was not yet implemented (it was 2002). There were two officers present during my arrest. This case went to trial in 2003 and through Kevin's expertise I was acquitted of this charge. I never thought I'd be sitting in a court room as a defendant. Once I saw Kevin Collins in action, I was quickly relieved of the nervousness and worry. I hired the right man for my defense. He knows the law, and thinks on his feet. You may relate to the feeling of "I wish I'd have said this" after a conversation. I feel Kevin possess a skill to know what to say what to ask, and when to say and ask it. In August 2012 while driving a friend home at 12 a.m. I was pulled over for driving 15 mph slower than the posted speed. I was honest with the officer about my alcohol consumption because I felt no way am I intoxicated. I submitted to his request of a field sobriety test, he said he needed to call a DUI task force officer. Again I performed the test for this officer. Though I was to nervous to realize it then, In my opinion they were waiting for my blood alcohol level to increase. The DUI task force officer made the decision to arrest me. Once in jail he asked if I'd supply a breath sample, feeling I had nothing to hide I agreed. The breath analyzer read unable to read. he blamed me for its malfunction.(?) Then asked if I'd agree to provide a blood specimen. Feeling his aggression towards me, I told him I feel I have cooperated fully and would not voluntarily provide this. He informed me he'd get a warrant and do it forcibly. I reminded him of the two field tests and its not my fault their breath machine malfunctioned. he proceeded to acquire the warrant, then had a nurse take my blood. Kevin represented me in the A.L.R. hearing (weather or not my D.L. would be revoked, or suspended) Happy to say the judge rule in our favor! I have a D.L. today. The Pretrial services (which in other counties is not a burden on tax payers but the responsibility of the Bail bonds company) attempted to force me to submit a urinalysis monthly. Kevin challenged their ruling to the judge, and I gave no samples after that. When it was time for a trial Kevin presented the judge with rules, facts, and law, and my case was DISMISSED! He and his team kept me well informed of what was going on, what was going to happen, and how they planned to defending me. I have no doubt in my mind he is among the BEST Defense Attorneys in Texas. I feel his fees were very reasonable, and it was money well spent. I proudly given out his business card to my friends and family. He is honest, and hard working. Word cannot describe the gratitude my family and I have for him. Thank you for reading this, i hope this helps you. It's hard to know who to trust with your defense. I'm submitting this review because I want everyone to know Kevin Collins is trustworthy. I also want Kevin to know how much his services mean to me and my family. My wife and two teenage kids lives would have been much more difficult, as I've been the sole provider while putting my wife through college at U.T.S.A. My son graduated this year and is taking the A.S.V.A.B test for the Air force. My daughter is a Junior in H.S. With the laws what they are I never plan to drink again. However if I'm detained I will not give any evidence, I'm not afraid of being arrested. If ever threatened with the choice of "do this and we may let you go, don't and we will take you in" I will choose to "not do", then calmly call Kevin. Thank you
