Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I don't know where to begin but Mr Collins saved not only my life but my family's life as well. There would have been no other attorney in the country that would have gotten me out of the situation I was in. I got caught up in a multinational, multi-agency investagation including Scotland Yard and homeland security No one else would have been able to explain the situation to the agents in a manner in which they would have understood. I have never even heard in my life such a thing as a attorney stopping a federal investigation into someone with just a few phone calls. I have dealt with several attorneys in my life but by far Mr. Collins is hands above the smartest one I've ever dealt with. I never will be able to thank Mr. Collin enough for what he has done for my family and I. He really is a God sent, I am still amazed but what he did. I can't recommend him enough dealing with any case that you would have
I was petrified after finding myself in a legal wrangle as an immigrant, but Rick's knowledge, experience and dedication to clients helped me emerge unscathed. I'm immensely grateful for his help and cannot recommend him enough!
About 10 years ago I read on the first page of Newday that the New York State legislature was considering a bill that would let persons convicted of certain felonies in New York State to have their record sealed. The star of the article was Attorney Mr Collins. He was pushing for this bill because he understood that it was not fair for certain crimes for a person to be punished forever. By punished I mean not be able to get a job and support their family for something they did say 20 or 30 years ago. Well several years ago the bill became law and I hired Mr Collins and Mr Nash to help me. They spent 30 minutes listening to my story and then said they could help. There is never a guarantee that the DA and the Judge will sign off and seal a felony but they thought my case was perfect for this law. They did a great job and communicated with me throughout the process and we won. My record was sealed. Mr Collins is a compassionate lawyer who really cares about his client and the outcome.
Rick did an amazing job guiding me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life. He was methodical in going over every little detail of my case. Not only that, but Rick's knowledge of steroid law is exceptional. One Thing that really helped my case was the fact that Rick practices his craft all over the US. This invaluable knowledge allowed him to present to the Iowa District Court a more logical way of doing things. This in turn saved me from what local council told me was a mandatory 3-4 month prison term to absolutely zero prison time! He literally convinced the Iowa District Court to change their procedures to a way they have never done before. Thank you Google search "best steroid lawyer" for hooking me up with Rick Collins and the best possible outcome I could have asked for!
Hiring Rick Collins was the best decision I could’ve made. He will take your case very seriously and will always stay in contact with you. Whether your crime is steroid-related or not, he’s a true “Super Lawyer” in all aspects of the law, and the title is well-deserved.
Rick Collins is an amazing lawyer. I recommended him to a friend in a falsely accused domestic violence case. Rick gave honest, sound advice to help my friend refute the false accusations.
Rick Collins is an unbelievable patient lawyer. He treated me like family. He fights all the way through. Reasonably priced. You get way more then what you pay for. Phillip Nash is great as well! 5 stars!
Rick provided a level of knowledge and service that exceeded all expectations. He made himself available at all times and was very responsive. Without his service and knowledge, the outcome would not have been good. I strongly recommend his services.
Called Rick for advice. Customer of a TRT company that was raided by the DEA. Extremely concerned about my potential legal troubles as a customer. Rick was free with his time and advice. True professional.
Support from Rick does not end after the scope of work is completed. Allow me to express my lasting thanks as the peace of mind you are receiving top talent advocacy is priceless. Every step of the way Rick Collins provides honest answers to complex questions. Clients will be blown away as they experience how hard he works to exceed expectations by going beyond the call. I recommend following Rick Collins on social media, reading his publications and capturing any opportunity to hear him speak.
