Reviews for Christian
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I hired attorney Christian Collin in March 2019 and my litigation just ended in July 2021. I was in the midst of a highly contested divorce and custody. When I met Mr. Collin for the initial consultation he took the time to listen to my concerns and explained how motions and hearings work in the legal world. I realized that I was blatantly misrepresented by my previous attorney when she filed an emergency motion to suspend parenting time for child endangerment (since my 13 year old son witnessed his father drinking “while” driving) but never got a hearing date. By this time the court had already appointed a GAL without having the knowledge of my ex-husband’s drinking while driving on multiple occasions. Attorney Collin was diligent and persistent in filing appropriate motions to be heard and almost a year later my ex-husband’s unsupervised parenting time was suspended. I highly recommend Mr. Collin as a divorce attorney for his professionalism, hard work and efficiency.
My post-decree case will span the better part of 3 years and has been challenging to say the least. Christian is an experienced family law attorney who takes the time to review the facts to help you make an informed decision about how best to proceed. He has been patient, diligent, ethical, and communicative throughout the process.
Christian is very knowledgeable of ever changing laws and is driven. He is very prompt in responding to calls/emails/texts.
Mr. COLLIN was sympathetic and a good listener. He outlined possible suggestions to issues but left any decisions up to me. He was knowledgeable of the law pertaining to my issue. He had good availability and good response time to inquires. And followed up after the situation was resolved. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
I am very satisfied with Christian Collin services. I highly recommend him. Every time we went to court he would tell me what to expect and options. He's knows he's stuff and won't give you the run around like other attorneys I've had.
My only regret is that he didn’t represent us from the beginning- we would have saved a lot of time and money. Christian has been very honest with us. He’s always communicated clearly and in a timely fashion. I would definitely recommend him.
