Rick is an absolute diamond in the ruff! Not only is he THE subject matter expert on steroid law but he also genuinely cares about his clients and their families. I'm not sure how he does it, but he always immediately returns calls and e-mails. We had an especially complex case that was headed for a disastrous end, until Rick stepped in. The most important lesson this case taught me is that having a great attorney is absolutely critical. There is no one I would recommend more than Rick Collins!

Rick is your big brother coming to rescue you from the school yard bully. Rick works and lives in the same neighborhood he went to elementary school in. Rick is a smart individual with an incredible amount of experience in what he does, however he is not beyond approach. He is your big brother you can lean on with your problems and knows how to fix them.

There aren't enough words to truly express the unending appreciation I have for Rick Collins. He succeeded in sealing charges of mine that were 13 years old allowing me to become a fully licensed dental professional. I am forever grateful to him and his professionalism, communication, dedication, hard work, perseverance, time, and commitment to me during my case. There isn't a more sincere, compassionate lawyer out there! Thank you Rick, truly from the bottom of my heart! JL

We were very lucky to have been recommended to contact Rich Collins when our business was under the scrutiny of the FDA. He was absolutely incredible! He proved our innocence, beyond a shadow of a doubt and cleared our company of any wrongdoings. I would very highly recommend him. His experience and knowledge in the FDA industry is unparalleled. We will forever be in his debt for giving us our lives back. I truly feel the friendship we have gained with Rich is lifelong.

Rick is the most compassionate and attentive attorney ever. He takes the time to know his clients and allow them peace of mind in a not so peaceful event. Not only that, he is the absolute only one I would recommend in any kind of steroid or illicit drug case. Collins, McDonald & Gann PC are truly amazing and one of a kind!!

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you so much for all you do for the bodybuilding community and for me. I have been part of the boards for about 15 years. I know you’re busy sir so I make it quick. I called you for advice last year about an alleged anabolic steroid pack that supposedly came addressed in my name. Against my wishes they came in and not sure if they have or had the authority to do so as I did not give them permission. Well long story short nothing found, house clean but they took my laptop and phone. I wanted to thank you sir, most of all for actually calling me back and within hours when I am a nobody as far as money I am in the military so don't have much of it. I can’t even get a lawyer in my own state and city to call me back and here you are Mr Collins a legend in the bodybuilding community and a famous lawyer bodybuilder in the professional community and you took the time to call me back. In Closing Sir, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Bodybuilding has saved me growing up from drugs violence prison and what not. I am currently deployed [in the Middle East] right now and bodybuilding, family and god are all that keep me going over here and sane. Thank you sir. MERRY CHRISTMAS hope to be home early next year. ~ a US Serviceman
