Sarah Collins represented me in a domestic issue I was having, and she was very helpful. Her compassion and interest in my problem was comforting. Her team kept me informed every step of the way. The desired outcome was achieved, and I would happily recommend them for any family dispute.

When you walk into a Divorce and Family law firm for the first time, you never know what type or attorney you will meet. Questions like, What's their win/success rate, how aggressive are they, will they advocate for me.... all those questions are spinning around. When it come to a Divorce -you want out, when it comes to your kids -you want to keep them part of your life and have as much time as possible, if not custody. Emotions play a large part in the initial stages... I'll start this Review by generally disclaiming, I'm a male, was being divorced by a bitter ex who wanted to take every bit of money/life from me and keep me away from my son. My case was extremly complex: Grounds of adultry, extensive marital assets, extensive Debt, child from relationship, rental asset matters, ex who wanted to take no debt but all the assets and prevent me from having anymore time with my son than the Va state minimum of every other weekend, and who refused to talk directly with me, but only through a lawyer. Not to mention she wanted a TON of money for a LONG time. My Ex made this nasty and and more difficult than it needed to be. When I first walked in a meet Sarah, she listened, asked what I wanted to see as an outcome and most importantly, she genuinally cared about me as a client. As the case progresseed, their were clear early warning signs the case was going to very adversarial. I wasn't worried, Sarah was up for the challenge! Sarah is not just a Lawyer, but an aggressive DIvorce and Child Custody Litigator (yes there is a difference) for her clients. She is extremely detail oriented, client focused, always responsive by email, and mine ranked in the thousands, and by phone. I never had a problem contacting her even late at night via email, or her being on top of every facet of my difficult case. Sarah will be very direct on where you stand, recommending how to proceed and the reality of the case. This is what you want from an attorney, No BS and the Bottom Line Up Front. That said, Sarah also envelopes herself with a talented paraleggal, Kim Cross, who was always there for questions, comment and worked tirelessly on my case. As my case winded down to settlement and while visting the office, I realized Kim managed and conducted factual legal research, prepare documents for legal transactions, draft pleadings and discovery notices, interview clients and witnesses, and assist at closing of my case. There were boxes and boxes.... and BOXES of documents and Kim knew almost everyone of them. Yes, this review is lengthly, but I wanted to make sure I convered key points. My cases, which Sarah advocated, defended and agured for me, ended up with no adultry (one year seperation), all the real estate, 50/50 custody of my son, which I believe I could have gotten more but my son needs his Mom too, shorter duration of spousal support at a reasonable amount and most of all, my life and sanity! In closing, weather you are the defendant, as in my case, or a plaintiff, You can rest assured that Sarah knows the PWC legal system, is an aggressive arguement Litigator, and will represent you to the fullest of her abilitiy. Sarah was right there with me through every step and guiding me legally, and sometimes acting as a counsolor I will always keep Sarah as the first person I will contact if I need any legal advice. I can humbly say, Thank you Sarah!

Sarah Collins handled my divorce and custody case like I was a part of her family. She was consistent and caring during the entire process. If you are looking for an attorney to get the job done, and treat you like your case is top priority, then look no further than Ms. Collins and her paralegal Kimberly Cross.

Walk me through the entire process fully explaining all of my options and the pros and cons of each option provided full access to her and Quickly responding to all correspondents

At the beginning of what was a very " Out of the Ordinary" divorce, I was lucky enough to have Sarah be the the attorney who did my initial consultation. After only a few minutes of explaining the intricacies of my situation, I already felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders as it was very clear that Ms. Collins was extremely well versed in Family Law in all of the surrounding jurisdictions. She was able to confidently answer any questions I had in addition to recognizing where I was hesitating or unsure about something, Ms. Collins professionally provided me with how the law was written pertaining to my particular situation. While the divorce process can be a very dirty, hurtful and delicate situation.. and on occasion when needed you want the attorney on your side that knows all the in's ans outs of family law and is a pro at going head to head with opposing counsel in an always professional manner. But there is no better feeling when you observe the interaction and know you clearly choose the best attorney. During the course of my case, I must have lost count of how many times circumstances would change unexpectedly. These surprises as they came never causes Ms. Collins to skip a beat. She always has a plan or next step on how to proceed. Which is a priceless skill to have on your side when you have your family and financial future hanging in the balance. The bottom line is that I felt very comfortable that I was being represented by someone who knew how to deal with each stage of the divorce process as it developed and explained each step of the way as we proceeded. I got each thing I had asked for thanks to Ms, Collins expertise. Highly Recommended.

I was in need of getting a divorce and fighting over my child and it wasn't pretty at all. Sarah always made a smile on and took the challenge and we won a good one. Sarah was always telling me what was best for my child and for me. Sometimes it wasn't want I wanted to hear but she explained it perfectly so I was okay with it. Sarah is a newer attorney but you could not tell 100% of the time. She knows her stuff. Sarah is a must hire attorney if you want what is best for your child and self.

Ms Collins handled an adoption process for myself and my new family. All paperwork was handled accurately and swiftly. She was professional and supportive with answering all of our questions and kept us informed on the progress of the adoption. Because of her knowledge and expertise, the entire process went smoothly. We would highly recommend both Ms. Collins and the firm for anyone in need of a lawyer. We thank them all for their hard work in making our family complete.
