My name is Dustin Collier, and I am an attorney representing plaintiffs in a variety of disputes, with a focus on employment and personal injury litigation. Specifically, I represent employees in wrongful termination/discharge, employment discrimination, hostile environment harassment, retaliation, whistleblower, and wage claims, often targeting some of the world’s largest corporations and most powerful public entities. I also provide representation to those whose lives have been impacted by car accidents, slips, elder abuse, and medical malpractice.
You have landed on our homepage, but there is a lot of content here for the prospective client to explore. The “Know Your Rights!” weblawg contains some basic information about common personal injury and employment law issues. However, you should understand that this material is purely educational and does not constitute legal advice. Analysis of an individual’s legal rights and remedies, if any, is a complex procedure that necessitates a complete consultation with a lawyer. In some instances, it requires consulting with more than one type of lawyer.
I pride myself on working hard for my clients during what is often the most difficult ordeal of their lives. I set strict limits on the number of clients I will take on, in order to ensure that all my clients get the care and attention they deserve. I take my work as a counselor as seriously as I take my work as an attorney. Often, my clients need more than effective advocacy, they need a kind person willing to listen to their concerns and to guide them through the process. I strive to fulfill these and any other needs our clients may have.
Please be cautious about relying too heavily on the content of any legal information you find online. Without the guidance of a skilled legal professional, it is often difficult to find accurate information and analyze its significance or application to your case. If you would like to schedule a consultation, please note that we have a high volume of prospective client contacts and we are not always able to conduct a full consultation. If you do not hear back from us within 48 hours, you may assume that we are unable to assist you at this time.
