Friendly, responsive, and professional

This was my first time working with a lawyer and David was thoroughly professional and really listened. He helped me create a will and health directive and patiently answered any questions I had, making the process much less stressful. I would highly recommend David.

I made the right choice in choosing David Collier as my attorney.

I made the right choice in choosing David Collier as my attorney. I was in the middle of a complicated real estate transaction and there were some issues that were causing the sale not to proceed. My escrow officer said the note holders could not sign the re-conveyance because of issues with their ...personal trust. The note holders had been working with their attorney for over two months and getting nowhere. I was at risk of losing the sale. A colleague recommended I call David Collier because of his background as the owner of Siskiyou Title and because of his experience with Trusts. David understood time was of the essence. He arranged his schedule and took care of the issues right away. Within three days my escrow was closed. I couldn’t be happier with the results. David answered my emails and phone calls in a timely manner, his rates and billed hours were reasonable. I highly recommend David Collier as the attorney to deal with any legal needs you might have.
