Atty. Collins went above and beyond in his handling of my estate when a previous attorney couldn't or wouldn't resolve the issues. I could not recommend him and his staff more highly. They did much to restore my faith in the kindness of people.

very easy to work with, he takes the time to explain and gives good advise.

Rude and disrespectful owner

Serving in a profession that handles end-of-life care, I always realized the importance of estate planning. However, I personally always put my personal planning on the “back burner.” After acquiring a business, I found myself in a position with many unanswered questions. Working on the day-to-day operations, I was concerned about my inability to work and in the needed case, the transition of the business to successors. Attorney Collins and his team were knowledgeable, concise, and efficient. Giff took both my personal and professional situation into account, melded the two together, gave me recommendations, and created a tailored trust for me. From our initial consult to finalizing and signing the trust documents, Giff and his team exceeded my expectations.

We worked with Deanne for estate planning . She was very knowledgeable about putting together a living trust and we value her insight and all recommendations she gave . She promptly responded to any questions we had throughout the process and developed the Trust within our desired time frame . Going into this process , I had a lot of anxiety about how it should be done, but Deanne relieved those fears and made it a really positive experience. I would definitely recommend Collins Law Firm for Estate Planning.

My parents and I had a great experience with Giff and his team. Highly experienced, professional, competent, personable - all at a fair price. Highly recommend for any estate planning need! Thank you Giff and Val!

I met with Gifford Collins to create an estate plan. I'm in my early 50's and saw this as the next step after creating a financial plan with an advisor. I am single with no dependents, but am close to my family and wanted to make it as easy as possible for them should I become incapacitated or die. I believe everyone should have an estate plan, even a simple one. Gifford is very approachable, patiently explaining things in regular terminology. In the first meeting he described the process and what I should expect at each of the meetings. Because of my recent financial planning I might have been more prepared in my goals than some people might be. Yet Gifford's insightful questions added a few things I hadn't considered. He emphasized asset protection (from non-financial risk). I don't plan to leave a large legacy, but do want whatever there is to be available to my family, not the courts or others. Gifford is very knowledgeable and thorough. Be prepared for a thick stack of organized papers. He helpfully includes a summary in less legal terms. I trust the estate plan and my relationship with Gifford will meet my needs.

As difficult a subject Estate Planning can be to discuss, Gifford made the entire process seamless and comfortable. He was responsive, educational and patient with us as we navigated through this project. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gifford and Collins Law in the future!

To be determined phone conversation went well

While we didn't see ourselves as "estate" worthy to start our work with CLF, we were very thankful that we did it. They helped us navigate every step of what seemed like a daunting new world, & we came out more secure than ever in our financial future & more importantly, the financial future of our loved ones.

Deanne and everyone did an excellent job. She was detailed in completely explaining the process and my options. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. I also appreciated the secure portal site that they offered for online security. I cannot over express how beneficial their service is if your interested in protecting your estate for your loved ones.

I whole-heartedly recommend Collins Law Firm! They assisted me with my estate planning during a very sensitive, emotional time in my life. Somehow, despite the circumstances I was facing, they made these really difficult conversations and decisions feel easy. They were also incredibly flexible and got me in very quickly to ease my mind before an upcoming medical procedure. Giff Collins has a warm, empathetic, caring, competent approach. He helped me take back some of my power by organizing a thoughtful, detailed plan for my young children in the event I was no longer able to do so myself. Having everything in order is such a loving gesture you can offer your loved ones. I am so grateful for Collins Law Firm for helping me get it done! Estate planning is one of those things we foolishly put off (trust me, I did too) but there's no need to wait - these guys make it comfortable and easy! You'll be glad you did it! Thank you Giff and team - you are one of a kind!
