    Counsel to start-ups and entrepreneurs on forming the right entity, corporate compliance, contracts, succession planning, asset purchases and leasing.

    35 years

For 32 years, I've represented entrepreneurs, business owners and companies of all sizes in a variety of employment, business litigation, corporate transactional work, and estate planning. When the economy ebbs and flows, I counsel individuals and companies on how to resrtructure or eliminate debt.

CORPORATE/TRANSACTION: I help during the start-up phase to incorporate and set best practices in place on corporate governance, labor and employee issues (hiring to firing, employee manuals and compliant policies, and by updating business owners and franchisees on changing requirements in Labor, ADA and other laws), during growth phases as shareholders negotiate agreements and expand stock offering rights, and then when owners prepare for retirement and turn over management and holdings to other shareholders or family members.

EMPLOYMENT LAW: We defend companies, executives, and management in all facets of employment law, ranging from compliance with state and federal statutes to internal investigations and administrative agency complaints through pre-litigation negotiations, trial and appeal.

ESTATE PLANNING: with over 23 years of designing comprehensive and efficient estate plans for individuals and couples, we've developed a Revocable Trust Package offered at a flat fee, so that the process is easy, understandable, and quick to establish.  See link to video presentation "Wills & Trusts: Estate Planning" from May 2020, below).

BANKRUPTCY: Whether you seek to eliminate or restructure your debt, the process can be confusing and intimidating. Worse yet, if you try to navigate the process on your own, you will likely find out that you won't meet requirements and deadlines on time, your assets might be taken, and a defective filing may be dismissed and you barred from refling. Having represented so many clients when they have family, business, income and debt concerns driving them crazy, I help to chart a path through debt elimination to financial recovery and stability. 

SEMINARS, PRESENTATIONS AND TRAINING: My partner Azim Khanmohamed and I have traveled throughout Californina for our franchisee clients to present seminars of 45 minutes or more (see list of presenations below), and are available to me with you companies, managers and franchisees.  Since March 2020, we continue to do so through video conferencing technology on both estate planning, Legislative Updates (FFCRA and CARES and PPP application procedures and qualifications).

Estate planning
Marc and his staff were excellent and easy to work with. He made sure that all our queries were answered and that we were satisfied in all the decisions we made. He gave us all the time we needed via email, phone call, text message and in person and we were able to finish all the work in timely manner. We highly recommend Marc and his team.

Very knowledgeable and helpful
I contacted Marc on Friday late evening to help me with my stock certificates, and I am glad I did because Marc saved me from using unofficial stock certificates. Marc is a very knowledgeable and helpful attorney. He asked me the right questions and figured my situation quickly. I will definitely use his help in the future.

Best In The Business. Period.
Attorney Marc Collins has helped us on 2 different legal matters. We love Marc!!- He is straightforward (no lawyer doublespeak), he speaks with you in friendly and clear conversation. He is upfront about fees, and they are reasonable especially considering that you are receiving top tier legal talent. Most importantly, Marc fights for you, and finds solutions. He helped us big time, on both matters. We highly recommend his firm.

Taking care of business.
Over the years, Marc has helped me with several things ranging from drafting and negotiating business contracts, to sitting down with me to map out my living trust. In every instance he has given me the impression that I'm his most important client. Knowing the law, taking care of business and being a people person are the qualities I've found in my attorney Marc.

Oh, he knows what he's doing....
In a town as litigious and filled to bursting with legal degrees as this one, i was thankful to acquire Marc Collins Esq. I was brought in as a third party on a project requiring legal representation... and that is long gone and long ago. The only thing that I ended up with is a lawyer who now deals with many of the niggling aspects of my life and afterlife requiring an astute mind, a wealth of experience and a level of sarcasm and understanding of irony that one needs in a legal professional. Hire him.

Simply the best
I can’t recommend these guys enough. It’s easy to become a case number to other lawyers, but Marc and Chris really do treat you as a person and work to solve your legal problem as quickly as possible. I had many unusual circumstances when it came to my bankruptcy, but Collins Law Group used all their expertise to get the job done. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

Estate Planning
My husband and I asked Marc Collins to prepare our estate plan papers. He explained each step to us, answered all of our questions, and then explained all of the completed documents. We appreciated his patience and his excellent work. We will refer any legal work we have in the future to Marc Collins. We recommend him very highly! A.B. and B.B., Los Angeles.

Not Good
One of the worst law firms in the Los Angeles. A bunch of old guys who think they own everything and will overcharge you guaranteed. The Collum dude is the worst at this place and Mark is very unprofessional and heavy on the cologn. I would avoid this law firm altogether and bunch of lousy crooks working together to separate you from your money. I wouldn't hire these crooks again!
