I highly recommend Kent Collins as your attorney. I had never been in trouble at all. I had no idea how to navigate the legal system. Kent told me not to worry at all, that was his job, all I had to do was follow his lead and everything would be OK. I went from facing 10 years with a felony to 2 years probation and a misdemeanor. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication.

Mr. Collins and Kelly are absolutely the best decision we made. Not only is he 100% thorough in his reviewing of the case, he certainly makes sure to discuss all possibilities there are with the best overall outcome. He had a pretty big situation on his hands and of course hoping for the best case scenerio we still had to prepare ourselves for the worst. With his work and dedication we were blessed today and couldn't thank him enough. So, as far as a recommendation, I think he was 100% worth every penny. He may be a little higher than others, but you get what you pay for. Anyone else charging less is charging less because they aren't the best. Thank you Kent! Hope to not ever need you again but if I do you're the ONLY one I'll be calling 💯🩷

Kent and Kelly are true professionals. Kent got a PWID case for our son who had a medical card from another state dropped to simple possession then dismissed in the end. He was very fast to respond to my original email. He took the case and was well worth the price he charged. I 100% recommend his firm.
