How We Can Help You
Planning, agreements, and representation from a lawyer who has spent a career seeing what happens when things go wrong.
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives — written to work when your family needs them, and to hold up if anyone ever challenges them. We also guide families through probate and estate administration, and handle probate disputes when they cannot be avoided.
Learn MoreBusiness formation, operating and shareholder agreements, contracts, and business planning — drafted to prevent the disputes that end up in court. And when a dispute cannot be avoided, business litigation from a lawyer at home in the courtroom.
Learn MoreDivorces in which the financial issues are central — for business owners, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals. Business and practice valuation, complex property division, tracing, and alimony when income is anything but simple. Plus premarital and postnuptial agreements that protect what you have built.
Learn MoreFinancial and white collar crimes, computer and technology crimes, and serious felonies — cases that turn on financial records, digital forensics, and expert testimony. Every accusation deserves a serious defense.
Learn MoreWhy a Litigator’s Experience Matters in Your Planning
Most legal problems begin long before anyone files a lawsuit. They begin with a will that did not anticipate a second marriage, an operating agreement that never said what happens when a partner wants out, or a contract that assumed everyone would keep their word.
For over 25 years, David Collins has worked in South Carolina courtrooms addressing problems and disputes that grew out of decisions no one thought through and situations no one imagined. That experience now shapes how he plans and drafts: he looks for what could go wrong before it does. Every will, trust, and agreement is written with one question in mind: if this were ever challenged, would it hold up?
And if a dispute does come, you already have a lawyer who knows the courtroom.
