Ali Made the Process Much Smoother
Going through a divorce isn’t easy, but Ali made the process much smoother. She was supportive, responsive, and gave me honest, solid advice. I appreciated that she was respectful and never judgmental — just focused on helping me navigate everything the right way. She explained the process clearly and took the time to make sure I felt confident in the steps ahead. I’m truly thankful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation.

She will work hard for you!
I would like to start out by saying that when I decided to look for an attorney to handle my case I searched a few firms, reading many reviews. When I read the reviews regarding Collins Family Law, I was very pleased with what I had read. So I reached out to them, and they responded quickly, as I was not only wanting to start my divorce but also needing to, because the opposing party was purposely stalling and making things very difficult for me. So I hired Mikaila Matt to represent me. During the process, there were moments for myself that were frustrating because of the opposing party, and Mikaila always reassured me and made me feel extremely comfortable and relieved in those moments. She is very kind and very professional. She worked very hard and diligently for me. She was very communicative with me, and very understanding and patient with me. As with anyone facing a divorce, it is stressful, frustrating, and worrisome because of the unknown. Mikaila gave me reassurance, kept me focused, and calm throughout the process. She fought hard for me, and we prevailed in what I was wanting out of this divorce. All the other staff that was included in my case or those I had to correspond with were all so helpful and friendly. Mikaila, I can’t begin to thank you enough for all you have done for me. I appreciate everything you’ve done! You worked so hard for me and it was done with such kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend this firm to anyone! I highly recommend Mikaila Matt for your representation. She will work hard for you! Thank you again for everything! And if I ever need anything else in the future, I will be calling. God Bless, Kelly Evans (Bates)

She made me feel like I finally had a voice
Kristen Leonard began representing me in August of 2023. From the very first time I met with her over a Zoom call, she communicated clearly with me and gave me her honest opinions. Kristen always answered my emails within a timely manner, making me feel valued. She took my concerns seriously and made me feel like I finally had a voice in dealing with my ex-husband. She was always very professional. She held my hand through one of the most difficult seasons of my life up to this point. After a hard-fought battle, an agreement was finally reached during our second day of trial this week, October 28th, 2025. Kristen maintained a professional and encouraging attitude throughout the entirety of the case. I am proud to have been represented by her. I cannot recommend her enough! To me and my family, she should be known as a “super lawyer”😉! I would also like to recognize Tammy Farnsworth & Jeanine Ferezan for their help, kindness & encouragement!

She fought tirelessly to protect my rights
Going through a divorce was one of the most difficult times of my life, and I will always be grateful to have had Attorney Spencer Schold by my side. From day one, she treated me with compassion, respect, and genuine care. I never felt like “just another case.” Attorney Spencer Schold took the time to understand my situation, listen to my concerns, and guide me with both honesty and empathy. What impressed me most was her ability to balance compassion with incredible strength as an advocate. She fought tirelessly to protect my rights and my future, and I always felt reassured knowing that someone so knowledgeable and determined was in my corner. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and trustworthy divorce attorney, I highly recommend Attorney Spencer Schold, the best!
