An outstanding trial attorney, Shawn Collins is at his best in a courtroom. Since 1986, Shawn Collins has combined his powerful communication skills with an unrelenting commitment to his clients' causes to win trials and secure favorable settlements in courts across America. Shawn has extensive experience handling "high stakes" litigation in the following areas:
His success can be measured in the results he has earned for his clients. In addition to acquiring clean water and contamination free homes for thousands of families, Shawn has recovered millions on behalf of clients, including $10 million on behalf of homeowners whose wells were contaminated by dangerous chemicals; $8.5 million for the wrongful death of a firefighter killed in a motor vehicle accident; $16.9 million for families in a groundwater contamination case; $8.19 million for a town with vapor and groundwater contamination; more than $12 million for plaintiffs who contracted cancer after exposure to toxic chemicals; $8 million in settlements to families affected by landfill contamination; over $30 million for condominium owners in property disputes.
Shawn has been named as one of the top 100 trial lawyers by The American Trial Lawyers Association from 2005 through 2018, a designation extended only to those attorneys "who exemplify superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature, and profile as civil plaintiff or criminal defense trial lawyers." Shawn is also a "Leading Lawyer", a distinction earned by fewer than 5% of all lawyers in Illinois, and one that is decided upon by peers in the legal community. In addition, since 2005, Shawn has repeatedly been selected as an Illinois "Super Lawyer", most recently in 2018. Shawn has also recently been recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award by America's Top 100 Attorneys. Selection to this group of exceptional attorneys is by invitation only and is reserved for only 100 attorneys in each state. Less than one-half of one percent of active attorneys in the United States will receive this honor.
After graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of Notre Dame in 1980, Shawn Collins worked as an auditor for the Chicago office of Peat, Marwick & Mitchell (now KPMG). Shawn received his law degree from The University of Chicago Law School in 1986. He is also a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Illinois.
Shawn founded the Collins Law Firm in 1992 and worked to make it a top-rated, highly respected personal injury, environmental, and business litigation law firm. Year after year, our firm is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best law firms in Illinois. Our experienced and knowledgeable lawyers have been recognized as Super Lawyers, Leading Lawyers, and Top 100 Trial Lawyers. Our firm has recovered over $512 million dollars for our personal injury, environmental, and business clients. We believe that great lawyers give a voice to the people who don't have one. That's why we fight so hard for clients who have been injured by car accidents, nursing home abuse, medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, defective products, unsafe drugs, toxic chemicals, environmental contamination, and unfair business deals. Courage, integrity, and compassion. When you need a lawyer to fight for you, call The Collins Law Firm.
