Attorney Trip Collins

During his years in law school at UGA Attorney Collins cut his teeth as a litigator, serving the community as an intern/paralegal and third year practitioner at the UGA Legal Aid and Public Defender Clinic. There, under the supervision of seasoned, veteran criminal defense attorneys, working with clients in actual cases, Attorney Collins gained invaluable experience defending people accused of crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, against the power of the State. It was in those courtrooms in Athens that he recognized within him a heart-felt passion for upholding the rights of the accused – demanding that the government, in seeking to imprison one of its subjects, prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, by lawfully-obtained evidence, without taking any shortcuts.

Attorney Collins is a licensed member in good standing of the State Bar of Georgia. He is admitted to practice in the courts of law and equity throughout the State of Georgia, as well as the Federal District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and the Georgia Supreme Court.  This firm routinely represents clients throughout the northeast metropolitan Atlanta area, including in the counties of Gwinnett, Barrow, Jackson, Hall, Banks, DeKalb, Fulton, Walton, White, Clarke, and Oconee. 

Attorney Collins has expanded his legal expertise , via CLE, undertaking and completing study and training in various aspects of criminal investigation, examination of expert witnesses (including law enforcement officers), case preparation and presentation, and defense of capital (i.e., death penalty) cases.

Community Involvement
