We first met Sam when we were deciding if we wanted a Trust. He was very pleasant and answered all of our questions thoughtfully and in a way we could understand the legal jargon. We have really enjoyed working with him.

Mr Collins was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when setting up our estate. He made certain that we fully understood what was going on at all times and never once hesitated to devote the time needed for us. I have recommended him to others.

Sam Collins works alongside the attorney we hired for our estate planning. Among other things, Sam has provided training for several aspects of our plan, giving us needed information and answering our questions.

I first met Sam when I asked him to handle my Mother's estate. He was recommended to me by someone who wasn't even a client of his. But the person assured me that he was a man of great integrity, and I have found that to be true. My Mother's will had not been updated since 1966 and required research of the laws of that time. Although I viewed the process as a very big and intimidating issue, Sam was very reassuring and alleviated my fears and concerns. The death of a loved one is an emotional time. I have heard that there are often hurt feelings and breakups within the family. All went well with ours and he included a letter explaining her will and the implications to my Mother's 7 grandchildren. The family remained in tact! After that experience, my husband and I had no reservations having Sam handle our trust. He has been very thorough and patient and encouraged us to involve our sons in the process. We appreciate that he keeps us updated on any new laws we need to know about that may impact our trust. We have no qualms that all will go well when the time comes.

Sam Collins is the lawyer at the Estate Planning Center that will work with our children at the time of our deaths to execute our trusts as they are written by us. Sam has worked with us through meetings and educational workshops as we developed our trusts. We feel very confident that he will make this process as efficient as possible for our heirs when the time comes.

I got to know Sam after the death of my husband three years ago. He helped me through a very difficult time in handling all that was necessary with regards to my trust. He kept me informed on how the process was going and if there was a question or concern he was uncertain about, he would find the answer for me. I was very pleased with his services.

Upon the untimely death of my husband in 2013 Sam 's knowledge, instructions and guidance gave me and our entire family peace of mind. I had compliments from the financial advisor on the manner of how things were handled. The entire office staff are to be commended for a job well done.

Sam and the whole staff are always so helpful and willing to answer the many questions that we have had over the last several years. We have confidence in how our trust has been set up--complete in all the details. Sam and all the staff are very competent and knowledgeable.

I hired this Sam despite the fact that he was young. He did a great job for me in my divorce. He answered all my questions, kept me at ease, and helped me through a very trying time. Ultimately, we settled for exactly what I wanted. God brought me to Sam, just as I thought God brought him to the legal profession.
