To Whom It May Concern; • Case: Personal Injury • Attorney: Mr. Don Cary Collins (Illinois, USA) From our initial meeting to discuss my case, throughout representation and to the end and reaching a settlement I am pleased with the way Mr. Don Cary Collins represented me. His office is conveniently located. Walking into his office you immediately feel as though he is well-seasoned, experienced (40+ years in practice) and his office, with staff, is like a well-oiled machine attending to every detail in regard to your specific case. He gives you the pros /cons throughout your case advising you along the way in effort to help you make the best decision(s) possible to reach the best possible outcome /settlement. He is clear and articulate, willing to answer any questions you might have, he and his staff are good at following through responding to you as well as meeting any court related appointments in a timely manner. Should the need arise, I would not hesitate to hire again.
I met Dr. Collins, as I call him, over the phone through an associate of mine. His calm, gentle voice gave me the confidence I needed for my cause. We then scheduled an in-person at the office, and when he stepped out I was extremely shocked to see this gentle giant. His calm soothing voice did not match his stature until I got to know him. We went over my situation, he explained some things to me, informed me of my part, and the rest is history. Dr. Collins never lost track of his assignment during some, what I would call, bumps in the road. I have given his information to several people, I’m not sure if they’ve made contact or not, but he is definitely my go to if I should ever need legal council again. Thank you to Mr. Collins and his staff for your patience, professionalism, and compassion.
