Extremely Informative Seminar I Thought I Didnt Have Time To Attend

Our family's future is more secure since having our trust done with this Law Firm. I just happened to attend a free trust siminar my girl friend kept insisting that I attend with her. I finally gave in, and I was pleasantly surprized at how much great information we got with how many pitfalls our f...amilies could avoid by taking the trust route into our latter years in life with our eyes wide open rather than taking a chance that everything would just work itself out. Not a wise choice. Im so happy i gave in and attended this free seminar. I highly recomend this down to earth, easily understood, great information your family will benefit from.

Exceptional Client Service

The seminar was fantastic. The comprehensive nature of the presentation gave me total confidence in the knowledge and professionalism of Attorney Collins. She made me comfortable and proved that I could find a firm of this caliber in my own neighborhood. I was thoroughly impressed. Although I had a L...iving Trust made by another firm years ago, the one prepared by the Collins Law Group was much more detailed and comprehensive. The Collins Law Group is a great asset to our community and the families they protect.

Knowledgeable and Professional

Attorney Collins exudes excellence in everything she does! My brother became a client in 2014 and since then my husband and I have also become clients. Attorney Collins is knowledgeable and is very sensitive to people’s needs. My brother was under sub-standard conditions from his long-time friend and... full-time caregiver. She had been stealing his money for years and never followed through on some of my brother’s most basic needs. Attorney Collins gave me the wonderful knowledge that I can continue to use and educate my family when it comes time to administer my Trust in any way. Attorney Collins laid out the situation for me and my siblings with no equivocation. She was suggesting the remedies available to have the caregiver removed from my brother’s house. She was even able to recommend several reputable services for in home care. Attorney Collins’ ability to keep the situation and meeting calm among people who can be anything but that shows how committed and poised she is when it comes to getting the job done. Her law expertise aside, she has a big heart and love for her clients which shows in everything she does. I could get on my knees and thank the Collins Law Group for finally bringing this painful situation to a close.

Very pleased with their services.

Attorney Collins is on top of it! She explains things extremely well and it has been a true pleasure working with her. I wasn’t aware of how disastrous it would be to only have a will in CA. If you don’t already know, all wills in CA get probated. You need a living trust to avoid it! My brothers push...ed me to come to Attorney Collins’ seminar because both of them are clients. Now she has all 3 of us! I knew after having a consultation with Attorney Collins that she was the right woman for the job. She and her team do an exceptional job at making the process easy and comprehensive. They go step by step and check for understanding along the way. I am very pleased with their services.

Exceptional Client Service

Attorney Collins offered us a lot of great information. What’s surprising is how many people don’t have an Estate Plan at all. We have friends that have been through probate and it just shows how much people need to plan while they’re living. My mom’s estate was also probated and it was so time consu...ming. It took about a year and I was stunned at how taxing it was on aspects of our lives. Planning with the Collins Law Group is easy and comprehensive. They present your plan in a very organized and professional fashion in a comfortable atmosphere. We definitely made the right decision and won’t have to worry about probate.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Ms. Collins very well since our student days at Harvard Law School many years ago. Although she practices in Los Angeles and I practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, we have referred each other many matters and clients over the years. In the 1990's and early 2000's, I worked for Ms. Collins' Creditor Institutional Clients handling San Francisco Bankruptcy Court Relief From Stay matters. We also handled the defense of a lender liability suit together. In more recent years, I have had occasion to consult with Ms. Collins on Trust and Probate matters. Ms. Collins is a very smart, energetic, and tenacious lawyer of the highest integrity. I recommend her strongly without reservation. She is also a very caring and warm hearted human being."
