I have worked with the Collins Law firm since the mid 1990s. Robert Dawidiuk acts as our General Counsel and he is one of the best attorney's I've even met. He's thorough, conscientious and a great communicator. He recently assisted us with the sale of our 39,000 square foot building which included the retirement of a corporate tax-exempt bond. Even though it was complicated, Robert made it look easy. Robert has earned my respect and the respect of our board of directors, which includes neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons, who can be quite demanding. In fact, all of the attorneys at the Collins Law firm, especially including Edward Manzke, are at the top of their fields. They are top notch litigators and they all have the empathy that was imbued in the firm by their founder, Shawn Collins. If anyone I know is ever in need of an attorney, the Collins Law Firm is my very first recommendation. It doesn't matter if it's a personal injury matter or if you are a teacher fighting a complaint from a parent, they treat everyone with the same respect and empathy. They give very solid advice that goes beyond the law. You really can't find a better advocates. Eric J. Muehlbauer, CEO, North American Spine Society, Burr Ridge, IL read more

Our profoundly disabled daughter suffered an injury due to egregious neglect at her Day Program. After our extensive online research, we decided to call Collins Law Firm in Naperville to talk about her case. Ed Manzky, Partner at Collins Law Firm was genuinely compassionate, caring, and prepared to help us. Ed guided us painlessly through this process with knowledge, professionalism and kindness from the beginning until the end. Ed and his team handled all aspects of the case efficiently and can be counted on throughout the entire process. There was never a communication issue. Ed was very responsive and kept us up on all that was transpiring. In addition, he was always reachable by phone, email, or text. At the end of this process, we were already dealing with COVID-19 and all of its uncertainties. Ed was very understanding and accommodating of our medical concerns. He got it all done and a fair settlement was awarded to our daughter. We highly recommend him not only for his expert legal representation but also for his down to earth human side. It was a pleasure to work with such a dedicated person. Jack and Diane read more

Our family recently faced our first serious accident, an experience we always thought wouldn't happen to us. Having never been involved in any legal issues before, we were unsure who to turn to for help. After conducting some online research and making a few phone calls, we were fortunate to connect with The Collins Law Firm. They quickly returned my call, which was a relief since not many firms did. That evening, I spoke with Amber Blevins, who guided me through the process we were about to encounter. She provided a wealth of information on how to effectively navigate our situation with the insurance company. Amber's support and assistance made it clear that choosing The Collins Law Firm to represent us was an obvious decision. Throughout the entire process, The Collins Law Firm--especially Amber Blevins--was incredibly supportive and helped alleviate the financial and legal challenges we faced. I truly appreciate everything The Collins Law Firm did for our family during this difficult time. A special thank you to Amber for being professional, patient, caring, supportive, and knowledgeable every step of the way. read more

We hired Shawn Collins and The Collins Law Firm about 5 years ago to handle a very complicated personal injury case involving our daughter with special needs. He took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to get to know our family, especially our daughter.

Although the case took a while, Shawn Collins and The Collins Law Firm always kept us updated and informed. They were always very accommodating and made sure to answer any questions we had along the way. The Collins Law Firm was always responsive and informative, and provided thorough and detailed information when necessary. Additionally, Shawn Collins is not your stereotypical attorney. He had and continues to have a genuine and caring interest in our family, and in the best interest of our daughter.

There are many good law firms in Cook and DuPage counties but Shawn Collins and his firm are the very Best. I first met with Shawn several years ago in Naperville, to determine if my case against an air polluter had merit and if he and his firm were a good fit for me. I was impressive by Shawn's forthright manner, his concern for my situation ,his scientific expertise regarding the impact of EtO as relayed to cancer, and his ability to explain complex information in an understandable manner. Shawn answered all my questions that day and we began to work together. My case took years to reach a positive, equitable settlement and during that time Shawn was in frequent communication with me ,by phone, text and face to face meeting as needed. I never felt alone. I always new the status of my case and what to expect next. Looking back I'm so glad I followed the recommendation to contact the Collins Law Firm they made a difference in my life. If you are looking for an excellent legal team , call Shawn Collins in Naperville. read more

Shawn Collins and his AMAZ8NG team achieved what I had no idea was possible. My goal.was to get a company that had been illegally releasing cancerous gas into the air by my home and school for almost 40 years SHUT DOWN to protect the residents and their children. Not only is that company shut down in our area but the other locations are being stopped as we speak. The Collins Law Firm has saved thousands of lives by fighting for me and others affected by cancer. It is heartbreaking to know that many have lost their lives and are still suffering because of this company. No amount of money from a settlement will ever give us our health back again but at least the future residents will be safe and this will force other similar companies to THINK about the safety of the people that live near their locations and follow the guidelines THOUGHTFULLY put in place by the EPA. read more

Shawn Collins has been representing me for the past three years, due to my involvement in a large environmental lawsuit. Right from the start, he showed a great deal of compassion and understanding for my situation. He has always been willing to talk to me, and has taken great pains to make sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. He is extremely well versed in environmental law, and was able to make sure I was treated fairly and that my case had a positive outcome. Shawn surrounds himself with very competent people, and his staff (especially his assistant Johannah) are wonderful. I've contacted Johannah many times with questions, and she has gone to great lengths to obtain the information I needed. Lawsuits can be stressful, but Shawn (and his staff) did a great job of getting me through a difficult time. read more

Professional, knowledgable, understanding, and hard-working are just a few words I would use to describe the legal team at the Collins Law Firm. After my child suffered an injury last year, I found myself in a position where I needed a personal injury lawyer.  Having had no prior experience in this area, I chose the firm based on its strong reputation and could not have been more satisfied.  Attorney Ed Manzke is second to none, and it was clear from our first discussion that he had the best interest of my child in mind.  Ed kept me informed every step of the way and handled our case in a very timely manner.  My experience with Ed and the Collins Law Firm was exceptional, and I would HIGHLY recommend them to any person seeking legal representation. read more

In a recent case in which I was involved in, was related to the emission of toxic fumes.
