Attorney Dustin Collier is the founder and co-owner of Collier Law Firm in Corte Madera, California. A top-rated trial lawyer with more than 14 years of total legal experience, Mr. Collier focuses his practice primarily on personal injury and employment law, and he provides invaluable counsel and support to clients throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Region and surrounding areas who have suffered a serious injury or lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, as well as those who have been wrongfully terminated, discriminated against, or retaliated against.

Over the course of his legal career, Mr. Collier has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in judgments and settlements for his plaintiff clients, and he has gained a reputation as a fierce advocate for the rights and interests of individuals and families suffering needlessly through no fault of their own.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
