Mr. Collins was the attorney for my friend, Helen, and when she died I was the Trustee for her Estate. {para}I was/am very pleased with the assistance of Thom Collins and his assistant Angela, who were both extremely helpful with the Helen L. Riley Trust pr
Tom has written my wills and now I have included a financial planning to my will. He has probated my late wife's will. Now he has written my current wife's financial planning.
Thomas has represented my Mother's trust for about four years. She is incapacitated due to Dementia. Thomas and his staff have answered all our questions, prepared all documents and been there for us to our satisfaction. No small feat as one of the co-guardians resides in a Southern State and paperwork signing are cumbersome. Thomas definitely has our recommendation.
Mr. Collins and his associates have integrity, are well organized, are knowledgable about the process of taking an estate through probate so it went very smoothly. I fully trusted Mr. Collins practice and was justified in doing so. He is wonderful.
I was very pleased with the professionalism of Thomas and his staff. The whole process went very smoothly. I would recommend to my friends.
Excellent communication - very patient when explaining the finer details of probate and why the issue became so complicated. Down-to-earth - I never felt a sense of arrogance or condescension from him. His office staff was very helpful and very prompt in responding to any questions/issues I presented. If I ever have a need for his specialty in Nevada or California again, I will certainly call upon him first !
Mr. Collins is a very excellent and financially fair attorney. I would hire him again if needed and also recommend him to friend's.
