Without going into a great deal of personal detail. Going through a very rough period in my my ex attempted to take full custody of our daughter. Candace was amazing when I met her I was unsure and low and n faith and she was strong, a fighter. Not only did she help give me the strength to get through that incredibly hard period but she fought and fought hard. In the end she achieved the outcome I was hoping for. Candace is bright, personable and tenacious. I think the quote “and tho she be but little, she is fierce” aptly fits her. I would highly recommend her.

Isla is a wonderful attorney and very good at what she does. If I ever have the need for legal services again, I would definitely hire Isla and her firm again.

Candace Faircloth represented me through a divorce/alimony/equitable distribution. She provided excellent professional knowledge, guidance, and advice during this difficult situation. Candace was always very approachable, responsive to my many questions and concerns, detailed, honest and compassionate. I greatly appreciated we could communicate via email and telephone as she is not located in my county of residence.

The opposing attorney and his office were VERY unresponsive and difficult to work, which demanded more of Candace’s time and work- ultimately costing me far more than it should have! Candace remained classy and respectable, yet firm and assertive throughout the process, always working diligently to obtain the most favorable results on my behalf.

My only wishes are I would have known to share EVERYTHING with the judge and most of all -- the process would not have turned out to be SO expensive.

Would definitely recommend Candace Faircloth---she is A#1 in my book!!!

Candace Faircloth and team helped me navigate a difficult divorce situation and removed as much stress as anyone could hope for. I walked into the office not even sure of where to begin and they really took the ball and ran with it. I would recommend this team, as well as Collins Family Law Group to anyone.

At a time of complete chaos and churn, Shawna and her team stepped up to provide outstanding legal support, practical advice on each step and a welcoming and comforting environment. I simply can't say enough about their professionalism together with their concern for you as a person, not a legal case! Helped us change our lives. So grateful to have them in Monroe.

Collins Law Firm and attorney Candace Faircloth exceeded my every expectation. Ms. Faircloth worked endlessly on my case and always kept me updated. She is dedicated to ethical practice and making sure her clients receive the best possible outcome for themselves and children involved. Candace genuinely cares about her clients and the impact of divorce/custody issues have in every aspect of their lives. She is always prepared and thorough. All of the attorneys and staff at this firm are amazing and work together to help their clients. I could not have asked for anything more.

I've always felt welcome and cared for at Collins Family Law Group. Going through the process of a divorce is a stressful and emotional experience requiring waiting with patience. I was fortunate to have Isla Tabrizi! She is not only smart, confident and articulate, she is full of the sweetest compassion! She listened through my tears and frustration of the divorce situation and got me through it. I hugged her when it was all finally final! My interests were protected because of Isla!

Divorce is never easy. It is a frustrating and confusing process. I retained Collins Family Law and Candace Strickland because of the online reviews and ratings. We were able to get my divorce settled in a six month timeframe. This was after 2 years of trying everything but an attorney. We had tried mediation with a local group twice and it just never stuck.

I highly recommend Candace and Collins Family Law

I want to thank Collins Law Firm. I live in SC and I had a situation were I needed a SC & NC lawyer and they were fast in moving forward. Met me with in 24 hours at a court house on a emergency custody like 2 hours away from their office and stayed the whole day with me until I was able to get my children. This law firm knows what they are doing and I will refer them to anyone that I meet that needs a lawyer. They are lic. in SC & NC so It worked out great for me. Once again, Thank you Collins Law Firm for all your help and especially my attorney that helped me from Collins Law Firm, CARRIE QUICK!!!!!

Kaylan Gaudio and her team at Collins Family Law Group represented me through my divorce over the past few months. Needless to say, it's an unfortunate situation to be in, but they were great and took all the pressure off. They kept to the agreed upon fee and worked through the legal process with out needing much of anything from me.

I should mention that I moved during my separation and then contacted them from out of state, which was never a problem. The process took slightly longer than sixth months, but I guess that's to be expected, as they needed people to sign papers, book time with judges, etc. It was a positive experience. They're professional and honest. I would recommend them.

Ms. Isla Tabrizi did an outstanding job on my custody case, I am very pleased with the outcome. I live out of state and Isla communicated with me regurarly to keep me informed. I would definitely recommend Ms. Tabrizi without hesitation.

Kaylan Gaudio was awesome to work with. To her I just wasn't a client. She kept me informed every step of the way, and made suggestions that were in my best interest. Divorce isn't easy, but she helped make it as painless as possible, under the circumstances.

Isla and the entire staff at Collins Family were kind, compassionate, and professional. They understand how to negotiate and protect their clients interests, keeping the other parties in check. I'd recommend Collins Family Law to my friends and family without reservation.

My experience with Collins Law Firm was exceptional! For me personally, this was my first experience in needing counsel from an attorney and it far exceeded my expectations. I was fortunate enough have the opportunity to work with Dana Lehnhardt and her staff. I commend them greatly on being both professional and knowledgeable. The compassion, kindness and understanding that was shared with me through the entire process was outstanding. She was gracious in keeping me informed and responded quickly to any of my questions and/or concerns. Dana Lehnhardt and her staffs expertise allowed me to feel confident in the outcome. I would highly recommend Dana Lehnhardt and Collins Family Law.

I have been working with Dana Lehnhardt since September 2013. From a separation and divorce to fighting for my daughter . She has gone above and beyond for me, but mostly she believed in me knowing how much I loved my little girl and never wanted to go down this road. I also had the privilege of meeting and working with Cherie Carter who was also amazing they both answered all my many calls and emails and let me know they were there for me. I would highly recommend them as they will fight hard for you! Thank you both again for all your help and support

I have to give this law office a credit for everything they have done for me, their process was very smooth and I felt that i was taken care of every time a new issue arose. I was also surprised on how fast she got my issue done considering the type of people i'm dealing with.

Isla Tabrizi represented me and I cannot say enough good things about her. She was professional, prepared, knowledgeable and on my side, she listened to me and gave me great advice, most importantly she made me feel at ease and confident during the course of my legal transaction. I highly recommend her and the Colliins Law firm.

Isla Tabrizi, and all staff at Collins Family Law Group that I worked with, were always responsive and provided outstanding client service! My case was particularly long and troublesome (due to a variety of external factors) and Ms. Tabrizi was steadfast in her advocacy of my case, always balanced with her recommendations, extremely competent in handling any challenging situation that arose, and in every way a consummate professional.

Extremely knowledgable staff, client focused, and dedicated to exceeding expectations. Everyone I have spoken with has the same opinions of this firm, I would (and have) recommend to family & friends. When I had pressing issues, even in the evening and on weekends, I was impressed with responsiveness. Questions and concerns always addressed quickly/consistently, and the outcome of my case was very satisfactory, couldn't be more pleased.

Can't say enough good things about Shawna Collins and the Collins Family Law Group! They were a huge help when I needed them. You won't find a better legal team, or a nicer group of people, than the ladies at the Collins Family Law Group.

We are so glad that we chose Collins Family Law Group to represent us in the stressful and emotional process of negotiating custody. Our attorney, Jessica Price, was not only professional, but very understanding of our circumstances and concerns. She immediately made us feel comfortable and took the time to explain any questions that arose. Besides our appointments, Jessica was easy to reach by phone or email and she always responded promptly. In the more frustrating moments of our case, she was also able to present our choices clearly so that we never felt pressured or confused about a certain decision. In the end, Jessica secured a custody agreement strongly in our favor and it was truly a relief to have her with us during our court hearing. We would use the services at Collins Family Law Group in a heartbeat if we ever required them again and they cannot be recommended highly enough. We are very grateful for their help.

May case was heard on April 20, 2017 with Attorney Jessica Price, she is the best lawyer any father could ever ask for; when it comes presenting your custody case before the court, filing the best motions to be heard and delivering the best facts to, spell out the truth on your behalf.

After going through a long three year court battle with three different attorney's. Jessica Price, being the third final attorney, taking it over in the last six months. This showed me, one of the most valuable things in life; all attorneys' are not created equal. So if you want it done right, don't waste your time letting years go by without any positive results. Call on The Collins's Family Law Firm, they are GREAT and AWESOME professionals!!!

A friend suggested the Collins Law Group and Dana Lehnhardt did an outstanding job getting to the facts before the trial. She then went 5 times further than I would have thought possible when we were at court. An extremely professional attorney that I will be recommending to anyone needing an one.

I was extremely satisfied with my experience at the Collins Family Law Group. Mrs. Collins and her staff were caring, professional, timely, and very knowledgeable. They handled my divorce and custody, and although this isn't the most comfortable process, they made me feel informed and at ease through the whole thing.

Some of the issues were time sensitive, and I was incredibly impressed with how quickly things were addressed. I was always kept abreast of where we were in the process, what would come next, and what I could expect. They did a great job of making sure that I understood what was happening during each step of the process. There were no surprises, and at no time did I feel like my issues weren't being handled. My questions were always answered expediently and completely.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this firm to my family and friends, as I'm sure they would be as satisfied as I am. They were caring and professional from start to finish.

I have no doubt they are one of the Best family law firms around ! There isn't a dollar value to put on what Shawna and Jessica have done to help my family . They love what they do and are very good at it.

My family has used this law firm for years. Mrs. Collins has assembled a staff to handle almost any situation in North and South Carolina to better serve both current and potential clients. Everyone in the firm takes the time to weigh out the consequences before making snap decisions. From what I've seen EVERYONE in this firm has the best interest of the CLIENT at heart. Very professional but also compassionate and empathetic. I highly recommend this firm for anyone looking for lawyers who won't just treat you as a number or a c-l-i-e-n-t. Collins Family Law Group treats you like family and will go above and beyond to reach the desired outcome.

Very disappointed in my overall experience with this firm. Ms. Tabrizi represented me in my divorce. Many of my requests were ignored or misunderstood and ended up being left out of the divorce/custody/child support agreement. My retainer was $7500.00, and I feel like for that amount she could have represented me better. I spent most of my time speaking with her paralegal, who was friendly, but not very helpful. Specific changes that I went in to sign off on in front of the paralegal never actually made it into the agreements. I don't feel they fought for the best interest of me and my children. I ended up relaying my dissatifaction to Ms. Collins and she did wavier a portion of my balance owed above my retainer. I will not recommend this firm to anyone in the future. My original lawyer was Mr. John Burns and I regret not allowing him to represent me through my divorce.

Shawna Collins was the attorney for my divorce, her and her team helped me through every single step, this attorney and her staff are very intelligent, trustworthy and thorough. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs an attorney. Shawna Davis Collins and her staff will work diligently to assist you in every way as well as make sure you understand what is happening.

Ms. Collins was very helpful during my custody hearing. It was not about the money for her; instead, it was about doing what was right for my child and I. If it were not for her dedication and competence towards my case, I don't know where I would be today. She was fair, open, and honest. She informed me of my rights as well as the rights of my ex-husband. She was not out for blood, but just out for what my child and I were entitled to. To that I must say thanks.

The experience that I had with the Law Office of Shawna Collins was the worst experience I've ever had with any customer service of all time. We saw good information about them online and were thrilled to be going to a lawyer that had experience with child custody cases. We had been seeing the kids on a regular basis, but due to a disagreement with the children's mother, she had determined she would not be allowing us to see the kids anymore, so we were trying for an immediate fix.

We met with Kerry Quick and were thrilled with how much knowledge she had! She said all of the right things to make us think we were going to have an experienced professional handling our problems. She presented us with several options to go forward with including simply sending a letter, sending a letter threatening legal action, and the option we chose, which was to go ahead and file with the courts, but send a letter and try to settle things outside of the court. Ms. Quick told us that as soon as we paid the $2500 retainer fee, that she would draft the letter and file papers with the court that same week! We signed the papers and paid the fee the next day, September 30th. Since we had met with her for over an hour, we thought she was good to go with the information she needed and we proceeded on with our lives and waited to hear from her. On Friday October 4th, we received an email stating that Ms. Quick in the process of preparing our motion and she hoped to have everything finalized and emailed to us by Monday. After a week of hearing absolutely nothing, we called back and on Monday October 14th, we were sent a letter to proofread. The papers had not been filed with the court, the letter was not sent out, and time was slowing wasting away. We were on a deadline. We waited another week, after proofreading the letter, and continually waited to hear that the papers had been filed, and the letter was sent out. After repeated calls, we received a final email from Ms. Quick on October 25th saying that she had been in trial for the week. She said she had received the change we wanted made to the letter and said she would revise the motion and file it on Monday.

We eventually gave up. The papers weren't filed, the letter never sent. As a result, we requested a refund. We patched things up with the mother and since no papers were ever presented to her, she was blissfully unaware that we had even tried to take her to court. Seems rather odd to me that after a month, and $2500 the person we wanted to take to court had no idea. We called and called the law office but very rarely received return phone calls, and when we did they were from the receptionist and paralegals, and as friendly as they were, they were unable to answer our questions. Finally, we sent an email and we were told the papers had been transferred to Ms. Collins to review.

On November 26, after threatening to file bad reviews, I finally received a call back. We had signed a “true retainer fee” so they said they did not have to refund any of our money, but they were willing to return roughly $1800 of it, claiming we were billed for the letter that they wrote (but apparently never bothered to send), and the office visit. Maybe it's just me, but $700 to sit an office and listen to promises about what they law office could do for me, just seems a little bit ridiculous. I would not recommend this company to anyone unless you have plenty of time.
