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!

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 manne...r. 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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

  • 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.
