Golden Spike Law Firm. Best Las Vegas has to offer.

Attorney Russell Collings is as fine as they come regarding the law and personal relationships. He is no nonsense and different than most attorneys. He gives it to you straight and has well rounded experience in many practices in law but Mr. Collings won't tell you what you want to hear to get your m...oney. I've hired Mr. Collings on multiple occasions and have had nothing but success. He's guided me through my law issues but it doesn't end there; he's been aware of the toll court takes on one's family. He's followed up with my family, extended family on how to deal with the stress. He's been a support to lean on and trust in. I hired Mr. Collings when I was trying to start a business. He was there to review documents, prepare contracts, give me advice and lead me through the process. I had no worries and my business has been protected as issues have arrived. I wouldn't trust anyone but Mr. Collings to handle my company, especially when it is my livelyhood. Also, Mr. Collings has been involved in a child support and family law case with me. Unfortunately, it has been an ongoing battle and I've felt nothing but support from Mr. Collings and the firm he represents. Not only do I get the best advice from Mr. Collings but his partners help and they work as an amazing team. My case has been very messy and it's been handled in the most professional manner. Golden Spike firm has an amazing record and reputation. Furthermore, they care about the people they represent. They sincerely want to help each and every client. I've felt this through how they've dealt with me. I have no hesitancy in recommending Golden Spike Law Firm and Attorney Russell Collings. They are the best Las Vegas has to offer.

This Law Firm has Very Poor Comunication!

I hired Oblate Smith and Collings back in February 2015. They sent my demand letter off with out having me review it first. They never return calls. It is now October 5th 2015 and last time I heard from them was in June. Very disappointed. I am filing a complaint with the state bar of Nevada against ...them. It was a mistake hiring this lawfirm.
