Claimed Lawyer Profile
Biography
Kollin Rice has practiced law in the Toledo, Ohio area since 1996. His practice is primarily in the areas of Employment Law, Family Law, Social Security and Workers' Compensation. He previously had a greater focus on criminal defense law, and still does some. As a former Series 6 Registered Representative (a license to sell stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other securities) he is interested in and eager to expand his practice in the areas of financial malpractice and stock broker/financial advisor malpractice. He continues to try to gain fluency in Spanish, but at this point does much better with written language than verbal.

Fees
-
Free Consultation
I will normally give a 30-minute free consultation in most matters. That consultation does not include the performance of work, just determining what work may need to be done and whether I can help you. Thus reviewing of contract or writing of letters would not be included in the consultation. - Credit Cards Accepted
-
Contingent Fees
The availability and terms of contingent fees vary by the type of case. Contingent fees are not available in most family law matters, as they are ethically prohibited.
