2nd Worst decision in my life

Joe Collins was a big mistake to me and my daughter .Mr Collins failed to present 90% of the evidence I provided to him, and that he charged me for. Mr. Joe Collins sent suppena to wrong address, failed to obtain police reports,let the opposing party break the parental agreement on numourous occasion...s, with no response , I complained to his staff about misspelling words on legal court documents said they will be fixed never were. Only submitted 4 pictures of evidence when there were 30 + to me Mr Collins was just another day for him in his office. He didn't care about me or the safety and well being of my daughter. All he did was made my life for me and my daughter a living hell which we will rebound from.I heard the careless verdict from the family court judge(which I can't blame the judge she can only make decisions that was submitted and presented to her) from opposing party not from my lawyer Mr Joe Collins seems like a great guy but a horrible lawyer in family court. Mr Joe Collins remark after the verdict was The judge didn't believe you well it was your job to back up your client so the judge could make the right decision .... If you have a family matter I pray that you retain a different lawyer besides Mr Joe Collins from Collins and Collins your family deserves better please think twice with this firm .....Hope your issues don't turn into disaster like mine did Good luck and God bless ya
