Dustin's skill and professionalism were obvious from the moment I started working with him and his team. Based on precedent, my case was by its nature difficult, and I discussed it with a number of attorneys. While assessing the overall case and legal strategy in those conversations, clarity often seemed to get lost once we got into the complex details. Dustin knew from the get-go what he was dealing with and what needed to be done. He has impressive legal knowledge at his fingertips, but also the practical savvy of a lawyer who likes to be in the courtroom and knows that the prospects in a potential trial shape everything else. Expect honest questions from him to get a realistic picture of your case and honest advice that is extremely well-reasoned. As someone who is an expert on analysis and decisions by profession, I think Dustin is brilliant in these areas; if you want to win, he will give you your best chance. I say "if you want to win" because, understandably when someone has suffered injustice and is in a tough spot, they might look for other things, like emotional support. You will know that Dustin and his team are on your side, and their sense of truth and merit in your case is key in taking it up. But they are focused on using your time and money to help you win, and with this goal in mind their style is direct and efficient. Talk the frustrations out with friends and family. When you're ready to face your situation objectively and fix it, Dustin and his team are the best attorneys to hire. Their involvement drops a heavy weight on your side of the scales. It's a turning point. You will start to feel in control of your life again. Best wishes, by the way!

I am forever grateful to Collier Law Firm for accepting my case. During my initial consultation, Dustin listened attentively, expressed empathy and answered all of my questions. He was very straightforward in explaining the legal process, which I really appreciate.
During the process of my case, I quickly realized that I was not just being represented by anyone. Dustin and Josh are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and passionate. To witness them in action was amazing. It gave me a sense of pride and confidence knowing that they were on my team. Dustin exceeded my expectations!

Dustin Collier is not only an extremely knowledgeable and savvy employment law lawyer but he is also enthusiastic about his job. He sets up realistic expectations from the start and gives it all to deliver. Even though my legal matter was rather small, he never made me feel like it was not worthwhile and handled it in the most professional and thorough way, assuring the best outcome. I felt understood and cared about throughout the whole process. It is also very refreshing to work with someone who has a real passion for what he does. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

In 2012, I was desperately looking for an attorney to help me with a discrimination/whistle blower case against a Federal Agency which involved the EEOC. Most of the lawyers I contacted did not even want to take on my case. Dustin was the exception and am I glad he agreed to take on my case. This was a long and difficult case, dealing with the Federal Agency delaying tactics during that time period.
Not only did we reach an agreeable settlement to me, but more importantly I was able to continue working and receiving my benefits at the agency during, and after the settlement. Something that would not have occurred if it wasn’t for the excellent representation by Dustin, intervening on my behalf.

Attorney Dustin Collier is a very patient and caring Attorney, he takes the time to explain the processes and the terminology to prepare you ahead of time for your case. He came highly recommended, and I will always recommend him to anyone needing the services in his speciality. It seemed that he treated my case personally, as if it was his only case.

After being severely mistreated by an employer, I had a meeting with Dustin Collier. During his consultation, he was extremely thorough in his evaluation of my case. He spent much more time with me than the allotted free consultation time, making sure I knew every direction the case could go and what I would need to be prepared for. He is extremely knowledgeable in his specialty of law, however what stands out about him even more than his intelligence is his empathy. He really cares about his clients and is angered about the injustice that has been served upon them by people and companies who think they are above the law and can get away with anything. I warned him right away that I thought this case wouldn’t be settled and would most likely go all the way to trial because the defendants were complete narcissists. He wasn’t shaken by this at all and worked diligently on my case for a year and a half. Even when the defendants switched lawyers for the third time, now hiring someone with political pull in the court system, he reminded me that we were the more likable team and even though political pull might get a judge to rule motions in their favor, a jury decides on the verdict. I am extremely grateful to him. I cannot recommend Dustin enough. He is an amazing attorney, with an honest and good soul who takes ethics seriously.

I cannot recommend Dustin Collier highly enough. I met him when I had just been through a humiliating experience where an irrelevant but permanent feature of my body cost me my job. I had been offered a low 4 figure severance, and one of the first things he said to me was that "even $10,000 would be am insult. " I was cynical about it, I admit. It sounded like salesmanship. Little did I know that 3 years later I would receive a six figure check in the mail. For every dollar Dustin had me invest in the case, I got back $10.
But it wasn't the money that made me write this review. Dustin gave me my pride back. In the depositions with my former employers, he made them look like the ignorant fools they were. He talked them into logical boxes again and again, and all the while I got to sit back and eat packets of gummy bears provided by the deposition office, that they eventually paid for, and laugh at the stupidity of their answers.
Right before the case settled, when I was questioning whether I was the fool and didn't know if it would ever resolve, Dustin gsve me an impassioned speech about how I was doing the right thing by standing up to them, and that he was going to be my advocate "win, lose or draw" because it really, truly angered him how they had treated me like trash when I would have been "such an asset. " I'm proud to say I'm no longer a cynic. There's good people in the world, and Dustin Collier is one of them.

Dustin's negotiation and strategy expertise were invaluable during my legal dispute. He is the consummate professional and zealous advocate for his clients. He provided clear advice and kept me informed of issues and options throughout the process. I highly recommend Dustin and would hire him again if the need arose!

Having Mr. Collier handle my case was the best decision I could have made. As an employment lawyer, Mr. Collier is impressively, intelligent, thorough, and organized. However, a quality that really stands out with Mr. Collier is one that most would never associate with a lawyer – his honesty and passion for his client’s claims. Prior to meeting Mr. Collier, I felt other lawyers were merely interested in making the most off of my case (or me for that matter). With no regard for what had happened to me at work, they would measure up my case and my wallet like a carcass of meat to carve away. In contrast, from the time of our first free consultation, Mr. Collier really listened, taking the time to go over all of the details of my case, going well over his stated free 30 minute consultation. Overall he made the distinct impression that he was putting my best interest first. The passion Mr. Collier has for defending workers is evident and made the difficult decision of choosing legal council a no-brainer. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made as Mr. Collier immediately took ownership of my case. He made it so that I was able to go back to living a normal life while he assumed the previously defeating and overwhelming burden of fighting my employment related case. Not only did I get my time back but I was finally able to clear all “my evidence”, or documents I had been saving and which had begun to take up a significant portion of space on my living room floor.
Without any prompting, Mr. Collier would check-in with me regularly with any updates or pertinent information and to answer any questions and this was extremely reassuring, as I knew my case was in good hands with him.
Lastly, Mr. Collier compelled a Goliath of a company to settle in an extremely short period of time. Overall, Mr. Collier is in my opinion a modern day David.

I retained Mr Collier at the last minute of a Labor dispute , I actually was losing my case and he came in at the last minute and won my case for me, I'm forever grateful for his help/support as well as his knowledge of all things regarding labor laws. He is fascinating to watch in action and I endorse him 100% and I look forward to having him on my team in the future.

I was severely injured in a car accident in 2012 when another driver pulled out in front of me in an intersection. For three months, I tried to fight my claim through the other driver's insurance company. They initially accepted the case and paid to have my vehicle repaired, but the car kept having problems and I asked to have it looked at again. They refused and then when I sent my medical bills to them for reimbursement they suddenly changed their story and denied the claim altogether. They even threatened to come after me for reimbursement of the amount they had already spent on the car! All because the other driver lied about the situation.
I spoke with about 10 lawyers, but Mr. Collier seemed like the right choice for me. Other lawyers tried to rush me off the phone or never called me back when they promised they would, but Mr. Collier took the time to let me get everything off my chest and promised he would do everything he could to help. Within a few more months, the insurance company accepted the claim again and Mr. Collier got them to pay off my medical bills as well.
Our case is still ongoing because we have not reached a settlement on my pain and suffering money, but I still wanted to write this review now because Mr. Collier has done such a excellent job representing my case up to this point. Not only did he get the insurance company to do the right thing, but he offered me a shoulder to cry on and advice when I needed it. He didn't just treat me like a customer. He treated me like he was representing his mother or his best friend, and that's how comfortable I've felt working with him.
I am extremely confident in this young man and I think the insurance company's lawyers fear him. I cannot wait to see how the case plays out, but I'm already satisfied because he's done more for me quickly than I would have imagine possible. I highly recommend him!
