Why Choose Collins Law

No Fee Unless We Win

Collins Law operates on a contingency fee basis for personal injury and environmental cases, meaning clients only pay legal fees if we win your case.

Record Results

The largest single-plaintiff verdict in Illinois history, $363 million, and more than $1.5 billion recovered for our clients in verdicts and settlements. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

We Welcome Referrals

Referral and co-counsel fees are honored under Illinois Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5(f) and confirmed in writing at the outset. We do not solicit a referred client’s other matters.

Flexible Consultations

Understanding the challenges clients may face following an injury, Collins Law offers flexible consultation options, including home and hospital visits. We will come to you.

We Try Cases

Insurance carriers know which firms will take a case to a jury and which will not. We prepare every case from day one as if it will be tried, with experts and investigation done at the front end.

Free Consultation - Available 24/7

Collins Law offers free consultations anytime, making legal advice accessible when it's needed.
