"I am grateful to Attorney Collins for her help in settling a high conflict divorce and other domestic legal proceedings. After multiple years of costly litigations and contentious hearings, switching to Attn. Collins was the best decision for me to finally be free of the fear and stress. Her approach is low key and grounded, but tough and fierce when necessary. I appreciate that she interacts with me not only as my counsel, but as a woman and a mom striving to make it all okay for her family. No doubt she can see a bully a mile away and no better person to have on your side in that case. I highly recommend Cathleen for her professionalism and expertise."
