I hired Mr. Collins to handle a complex DWI case that involved some federal jurisdictional questions. His background as a former prosecutor and his decades of experience were immediately apparent; he knew the local courts and his analysis of the charges was thorough. His recognition in the field is well-deserved. Ultimately, the outcome was acceptable and aligned with what he predicted. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. There were periods where communication was slow, and I often had to follow up multiple times for updates. While his legal strategy was sound, managing client expectations and responsiveness seemed like a secondary priority. For straightforward legal matters requiring deep local knowledge, he is certainly capable, but be prepared to be proactive in staying informed about your case.
