“My mother told me about the Collins Law Group and I must say, the entire experience has been a real pleasure. Although I was nervous at first, the Collins Law Group staff put me at ease with their friendliness and knowledge. I didn’t realize how hard it could be on your family and loved ones left behind if you die without any planning or directions in place for them. My biggest concern was making sure my elderly mother would be provided for and taken care of if something happened to me. I have been a caregiver for her for 12 years, so this planning was crucially important. I had previously made a living trust for myself on Legal Zoom but there is no comparison to the level of service and professionalism that Collins Law Group embodies. Attorney Collins and her staff provides excellent service and it will take a large burden off of my family when they need guidance at the time of my passing.”

“Collins Law Group is totally professional yet down to earth. They cover every detail whether small or large. No stone goes unturned. They are a concerned and complete business that seeks to answer questions and give their clients true peace of mind. A lot of people think having a Will is good enough but it’s not. In California, ALL wills get probated. People have to have a trust. We once tried to create our own living trust on Legal Zoom and soon realized that it wasn’t going to work. With everything we’ve invested and accumulate in our lives, I realized that I needed to trust our legacy to a professional that we could work in collaboration with. We realized we didn’t want to go to the bargain basement to protect our assets, we needed the real thing. This was particularly important after a heart surgery was needed and health issues arose. It was a wake-up call that we needed to get serious. We now feel better knowing that our two sons are fully protected from probate. We love the Collins Law Group.”
-Mr. & Mrs. Johnson
“I was referred by a friend and the process was surprisingly pleasant and smooth. I approached the experience with more openness because of the referral and once I attended the seminar, I knew I had made the right decision. I highly recommend the Collins Law Group. People should definitely plan with them because Attorney Collins eliminates the guesswork about necessary protections for yourself and family from start to finish. Having worked for the Department of Social Services for 43 years, I have seen a lot. For instance, one of my clients passed away with a living trust but she chose an untrustworthy successor trustee to handle her affairs. The Collins Law Group assured us of why it was so important that I choose wisely when determining who would be left in charge. I did that! Additionally, the firm provides a customized video that explains each client’s plan in great detail. Our niece loved it because she was able to get a good understanding of what all was entailed. The Collins Law Group takes it to another level with resources they provide.”
-Ms. Easely
“Collins Law Group has been wonderful for the past 10 years. I became a client in 2008 and they have been nothing short of excellent since then. I have been blessed and relieved in knowing that I have an estate plan with the firm. The Collins Law Group has become a part of my family and I have become a part of theirs. In fact, all clients become their family because that’s the way they treat you. I know they’re a law firm/business but Attorney Collins and her staff are so considerate and caring. You forget that you’re at a law office because it just feels like home. Throughout the years, the Collins Law Group has kept me up to date with changes in the law. They have reviewed my plan and have been available for free phone calls whenever I was in need of their services. They make sure that clients revisit their documents through periodic reviews to ensure that everything is still to their liking. And if it’s not, they’re there to help you figure it all out every step of the way. Thank you Collins Law Group.”
-Ms. Bates
“I was referred to the Collins Law Group seminar by a friend. I actually went to two of the free wills and trusts seminars because I brought a friend the second time because I knew they’d also benefit from it. I had no idea that wills and living trusts were two different things and that only having a will would automatically put your estate through probate. Yes, in California, all Wills get probated. That’s mandatory! My experience creating the living trust with the firm has been excellent. Attorney Collins and her staff are very professional, well organized and knowledgeable. The icing on the cake was the customized video that was prepared for me. It explained all of the documents in great detail and its available for me to show my family because they give each client their own customized video. That to me is brilliant. The video explains all answers to the questions you might have and of course, the firm is always available to answer questions themselves. I highly recommend the Collins Law Group.”

“As a pastor for 25 years of large Los Angeles churches, my family and I have seen families suffer through probate. We went to a Collins Law Group seminar four years ago but procrastinated. At the Estate Planning seminar, we were reminded just how much we wanted to avoid probate. So when our son really started pushing us to get this planning done, we knew it was time. We have friends who are clients of Collins Law Group and they sing praises to the work Attorney Collins and her staff does. We love the professionalism, patience and understanding that she and her staff possess. They are conscientious, organized and above all else, excellent professionals. We are definitely recommending our son and other people we know to get their planning done with Attorney Collins and her team.”
-Mr. & Mrs. Lawson
“Attorney Mark Costley and staff are a focused, organized, compassionate and knowledgeable team. They handle the details of my estate and health care choices. This assurance leaves me to focus on now instead of worrying about things later ; a reassurance that when the time comes for others to take over the decision making everything will be in place giving me less burden to carry now and more time to enjoy life. I am grateful that I am watched over by this firm. Even more grateful that if others are not there to see to the business at hand a member of the firm will do so without hesitation. I highly recommend that folks sit down and get real about taking care of what they will leave behind and what matters to them the most. This team will listen.
Thank you.”
-C.A.K.
“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 Living 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.”
-Ms. Phillips
“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.”
-Mrs. Warr
“I’ve been getting so disheartened at seeing friends pass away and hearing stories about how their treasured possessions were plundered by so called friends and family without any regard for their wishes. I wanted to make sure that what I have left goes to whom I choose. This can only be guaranteed by a living trust. This document is beneficial for generational growth and the building of wealth in today’s society. Everyone needs to get this done! It’s surprising how many people don’t plan considering that many of them have more at stake than I do. But now I don’t have to worry at all because my planning was taken care of by the Collins Law Group.”
-Ms. Edward
“When you die with a will, probate is required. I was not aware of this until I spoke with Attorney Collins. I was also unaware that Medi-Cal can and will bill your family when you die so they can collect any and all debt left by you. This is called Medi-Cal recovery if you are a Medi-Cal recipient. My uncle had a living trust and after he passed the process of taking care of his affairs was very easy on my aunt. I knew I wanted the same for myself and my family. I had been receiving postcards from the Collins Law Group in the mail for quite some time and I ignored them. One day I was having lunch with my cousin who had attended a seminar and recommended I go just to get this great free information. Then on that very same day, I received another postcard in the mail. It must have been fate. Since I completed my planning, I’ve been given peace of mind and feel like a weight has been lifted. Thank you Collins Law Group.”
