Mr. Collins is a staunch believer in our jury system. He considers a “trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.” (Thomas Jefferson) He wanted to become a better trial attorney and thus jumped at the chance to move back close to family here in Athens to work with one of the best trial attorneys in the state
