Ms. Collins and her team has earned my trusts and respect. They showed professionalism, attention to details and made me feel like I am family. It is truly reassuring to know that my family and I won’t he on our own after the documents are executed.

My overall experience with Collins Law Firm has been great. The process of estate planning was thoroughly explained with personal care and concern. The entire staff is very personable and eliminate any intimidation. I feel very relieved to have completed this process and I am very comfortable in knowing that Collins Law Group is available to us for any needed help.

We received excellent and clearly explained directions with respect to the creation of our living trust and the required follow up actions. Caprice is easy to work with and she inspires full confidence in her abilities. We continue to work with her as we review changes in our lives and the adjustments required to insure that our trust does what we want it to do.

Attorney Collins was referred to us by a friend who had a living trust prepared for his family. We attended one of her very informative seminars on living trusts. Shortly there after we had out trust done. She is very thorough, precise and follows up to ensure we’re satisfied with our estate plan. The staff was wonderful as well.

We’ve had Living Trusts done by two different attorneys over the last 12 years. After retaining the Collins Law Group, it became clear that the others weren’t up to the same standard. Attorney Collins and her staff have an eye for detail that was absent from the other firms we used. It was the difference between dining at a gourmet restaurant, and a fast food drive-thru. The Collins Law Group is terrific at putting you at ease, and makes the process relatable and easy-to-understand. After watching other family members go through the ugly, hot mess of Probate, we definitely feel safe and in control of our estate and the legacy we’ll leave behind for our children.
