Hired Attorney Christian Collin

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.

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.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
