I cannot thank you enough for what you [Chris Collins] and Charlene [Howlett] have done for me!

His capacity to understand our unique needs and efficiently tailor his legal advice to those needs has resulted in the successful resolutions of many matters.

Marie [Tukara] came to me highly recommended. Best known as someone who leads more with my heart, Marie was able to help me understand all of the stages of getting through not only my divorce but most importantly what was in the best interest of my child. It is not easy to remove emotion when dealing with matters involving your children, however with Marie’s professionalism, knowledge in all aspects of family law and her ability to speak in terms one without a law degree could understand, it made the process easier. Since then, I have had to seek council on another family law matter and there was no doubt where I would turn. I trust Marie in her ability to advise the best course of action and follow through with it. In my opinion, she is an outstanding lawyer. - L.M.C.
