My separation, child custody, support, alimony, multiple legal defenses, counseling, mediation, highly contested divorce and intervention. I had the best lawyer on AVVO representing me! Mr. Collins has the bull by the horns! If you need a lawyer to stand up for you, rest easy knowing that Mr. Collins is professional, ethical, principled, and highly effective! No kidding, read the other reviews, do some research, I'll save you some time here, there are no better lawyers to represent you in Virginia, all the way to the Supreme Court! Mr. Collins and his team are dynamic! If you're reading this, hire Mr. Collins, you'll be thankful you did. I highly recommend Collins and Hyman for all of your legal needs!

Mr. Richard Collins was knowledgeable and professional, yet down to earth. Originally he discounted me because I had done part of the work myself which is very honest and reasonable of him, furthermore the charges were dropped and even though he still had to confirm with the Judge in person he STILL refunded me half the already discounted payment. This was greatly appreciated on my part and shows that Mr. Collins is honest, hardworking, and not trying to get the top dollar. Highly commendable, I recommend his services if ever needed.

If you're reading these reviews, you may be wondering if they're real or not. Well, I believe they're real. I was skeptical about locating a lawyer via avvo.com at first and when I came across Mr. Collins, I thought the excellent reviews may be too good to be true. I'm glad I went with my gut and scheduled a consultation with him. I ran into trouble early this year and had no idea what to expect. Mr. Collins was very straightforward and honest from the time I consulted with him until my trial. I could not be more pleased with the services he provided and the outcome of my case. If you need a superb criminal defense attorney, look no further!

I had two violations I was facing and hired Richard Collins based on his reviews, not on word of mouth. He was very reasonably priced and he kept me out of going back to prison. He knows the law very well and said everything I wanted him to tell the Judge. He answered every text, call, and email I sent him. He truly listened to me and my cases. If you ever need legal representation for anything criminal, your best bet would be to call this man. I served 11 years in prison, if I had any other lawyer, I would've went back. Trust me on this review, he is the truth in the courtroom.

Mr. Collins is extremely honest and trustworthy. If ever faced with a situation, do not think twice, just go ahead and place your life in his hands! During my saga, Mr. Collins helped me keep my calm. He answered all my questions no matter how many times i asked him, and assured me not to worry. His personality and demeanor command respect. Crisp, to the point professional. This man actually cares and his ability to interpret the law is exceptional and unlike anyone else. No one else can do what he can do.

My experience with Mr Collins and Mr Waltrip was very professional. Mr. Collins clearly is very educated and knowledgable in law and furthermore what I found amazing is the level of care he showed for my petty case, not to mention he was court appointed so he had no payment motivation at all from me, yet he preformed his practice better than I could expect from a famous and expensive lawyer on all aspects.

Rick Collins is a very good lawyer. He has helped to guide me through a painful time in my life with a great deal of professionalism, integrity, and compassion. Rick is also very confident, assertive and will not back down from advocating for your rights...all this shines through from your very first meeting with him. It makes me feel secure knowing that he is on my side. I consider it a blessing to have found Rick and am incredibly grateful for all he's done to help me.

Mr. Richard Collins was knowledgeable and professional, yet down to earth. Originally he discounted me because I had done part of the work myself which is very honest and reasonable of him, furthermore the charges were dropped and even though he still had to confirm with the Judge in person he STILL refunded me half the already discounted payment. This was greatly appreciated on my part and shows that Mr. Collins is honest, hardworking, and not trying to get the top dollar. Highly commendable, I recommend his services if ever needed.

If you're reading these reviews, you may be wondering if they're real or not. Well, I believe they're real. I was skeptical about locating a lawyer via avvo.com at first and when I came across Mr. Collins, I thought the excellent reviews may be too good to be true. I'm glad I went with my gut and scheduled a consultation with him. I ran into trouble early this year and had no idea what to expect. Mr. Collins was very straightforward and honest from the time I consulted with him until my trial. I could not be more pleased with the services he provided and the outcome of my case. If you need a superb criminal defense attorney, look no further!

I had two violations I was facing and hired Richard Collins based on his reviews, not on word of mouth. He was very reasonably priced and he kept me out of going back to prison. He knows the law very well and said everything I wanted him to tell the Judge. He answered every text, call, and email I sent him. He truly listened to me and my cases. If you ever need legal representation for anything criminal, your best bet would be to call this man. I served 11 years in prison, if I had any other lawyer, I would've went back. Trust me on this review, he is the truth in the courtroom.

Mr. Collins is extremely honest and trustworthy. If ever faced with a situation, do not think twice, just go ahead and place your life in his hands! During my saga, Mr. Collins helped me keep my calm. He answered all my questions no matter how many times i asked him, and assured me not to worry. His personality and demeanor command respect. Crisp, to the point professional. This man actually cares and his ability to interpret the law is exceptional and unlike anyone else. No one else can do what he can do.

My experience with Mr Collins and Mr Waltrip was very professional. Mr. Collins clearly is very educated and knowledgable in law and furthermore what I found amazing is the level of care he showed for my petty case, not to mention he was court appointed so he had no payment motivation at all from me, yet he preformed his practice better than I could expect from a famous and expensive lawyer on all aspects.

Rick Collins is a very good lawyer. He has helped to guide me through a painful time in my life with a great deal of professionalism, integrity, and compassion. Rick is also very confident, assertive and will not back down from advocating for your rights...all this shines through from your very first meeting with him. It makes me feel secure knowing that he is on my side. I consider it a blessing to have found Rick and am incredibly grateful for all he's done to help me.

My experience with Mr Collins and Mr Waltrip was very professional. Mr. Collins clearly is very educated and knowledgable in law and furthermore what I found amazing is the level of care he showed for my petty case, not to mention he was court appointed so he had no payment motivation at all from me, yet he preformed his practice better than I could expect from a famous and expensive lawyer on all aspects.

Rick Collins is a very good lawyer. He has helped to guide me through a painful time in my life with a great deal of professionalism, integrity, and compassion. Rick is also very confident, assertive and will not back down from advocating for your rights...all this shines through from your very first meeting with him. It makes me feel secure knowing that he is on my side. I consider it a blessing to have found Rick and am incredibly grateful for all he's done to help me.

Rick is awesome! He got my felony case dismissed in low court. HE always returned my calls and told me what to expect in court. I hope I don't need him again, but I will definitely recommend him!

I would recommend Rick hands down. He is so attentive to his clients and really has their best interests at heart. Just an overall good person.

My separation, child custody, support, alimony, multiple legal defenses, counseling, mediation, highly contested divorce and intervention. I had the best lawyer on AVVO representing me! Mr. Collins has the bull by the horns! If you need a lawyer to stand up for you, rest easy knowing that Mr. Collins is professional, ethical, principled, and highly effective! No kidding, read the other reviews, do some research, I'll save you some time here, there are no better lawyers to represent you in Virginia, all the way to the Supreme Court! Mr. Collins and his team are dynamic! If you're reading this, hire Mr. Collins, you'll be thankful you did. I highly recommend Collins and Hyman for all of your legal needs!

Mr. Richard Collins was knowledgeable and professional, yet down to earth. Originally he discounted me because I had done part of the work myself which is very honest and reasonable of him, furthermore the charges were dropped and even though he still had to confirm with the Judge in person he STILL refunded me half the already discounted payment. This was greatly appreciated on my part and shows that Mr. Collins is honest, hardworking, and not trying to get the top dollar. Highly commendable, I recommend his services if ever needed.

If you're reading these reviews, you may be wondering if they're real or not. Well, I believe they're real. I was skeptical about locating a lawyer via avvo.com at first and when I came across Mr. Collins, I thought the excellent reviews may be too good to be true. I'm glad I went with my gut and scheduled a consultation with him. I ran into trouble early this year and had no idea what to expect. Mr. Collins was very straightforward and honest from the time I consulted with him until my trial. I could not be more pleased with the services he provided and the outcome of my case. If you need a superb criminal defense attorney, look no further!

I had two violations I was facing and hired Richard Collins based on his reviews, not on word of mouth. He was very reasonably priced and he kept me out of going back to prison. He knows the law very well and said everything I wanted him to tell the Judge. He answered every text, call, and email I sent him. He truly listened to me and my cases. If you ever need legal representation for anything criminal, your best bet would be to call this man. I served 11 years in prison, if I had any other lawyer, I would've went back. Trust me on this review, he is the truth in the courtroom.
