Pat is a tenacious, no nonsense, attorney. I really appreciated his efficient, unvarnished appraisal of my situation and our subsequent navigation of not only the mediation process but ultimately the court system as well. I was in uncharted water and he was one helluva rudder. I can't recommend him enough.

Pat is a no nonsense attorney who tells it like it is: good or bad. He helped get my support obligation reduced when many others failed. In court, his easy, professional manner established immediate credibility with the judge. I would recommend him to anyone gong through a divorce / separation.

Mr. Collins is an outstanding attorney. After being disappointed by several attorneys who bungled my divorce, I finally found the right attorney to turn my case around. He quickly got up to speed with my file, ascertained the priorities, built a winning strategy and knocked it out of the park! I was most impressed with his clarity, strategic vision and ability to stay on point despite the "smoke and mirrors" that plagued my case. He is intelligent, competent, consistent and reliable. His knowledge of the law, legal system and best practices is second to none. My only regret is not hiring him in the first place.

I am incredibly honored to write a recommendation on behalf of Patrick Collins. Pat represented me in my divorce case several years ago which was not a cookie cutter situation. There were many minefields around which to navigate in my situation and Pat navigated around each one of them with tremendous confidence. Pat's knowledge about divorce and family law is quite impressive, but it really are his other attributes that make him completely stand out above many other attorneys. What ultimately impressed me the most about Pat is his steadfast integrity which in the very emotionally charged world of divorce law is very hard to find. Pat evaluates every situation on its merits and will never bring an action in court that is unwarranted or unfounded. He always takes the high road because he believes that in the end that will benefit everybody. Pat is very good at tempering emotions , discouraging fueling the proverbial fire and encouraging a client to make an intelligent, informed decision. Pat also doesn't generate work to generate extra billing time which also speaks to his integrity. There is a reason why he is incredibly well respected in his field. I have since recommended him to a couple of friends who have been equally thrilled with his representation. I trust Pat implicitly and (while I hope never to get another divorce) I would not hire anybody else. Pat Collins is a both a true gentleman and a true gem!

Pat Collins is the most focused attorney I have ever met. If you are in need of an attorney, there is an issue to be resolved. To Pat that means focus through intelligent solutions. That is Pat's forte. He looks logically at the issue, outlines a path and reaches the resolution through rationale and compromise, ignoring emotion and anger. He is compassionate about his clients' issues, while guiding them to an intelligent, rational and well negotiated conclusion.

I engaged Pat Collins back in 2005 to represent me in my divorce proceedings. The case became very complicated, with many motions, court appearances ,and trial time. At every step of the way Pat was prepared, kept me fully informed and sought my input to assist him with the facts and always made me feel as comfortable as possible throughout this difficult process that went on for several years. Pat was always available both during regular and off hours times. I continue to use him for various other legal matters that have arisen personally and for my business, and have recommended him to numerous friends and associates, all of whom have been extremely pleased. Billings were always fair and reasonable and as expected. I would highly recommend him.
