Areas of Practice
At Collins Shipley, PLLC, we understand that when you are going through a stressful time, you need someone you can depend on. We make it our mission to provide every client with the dependable representation and guidance they need to help them through this difficult and confusing time.
Areas of legal service we offer include, but are not limited to:
Personal Injury
If you have been injured or a loved one was killed as the result of another person’s actions, you may have the right to compensation. Whether the injury or death was intended or the result of negligence, you and your loved ones have a right to safety, and if that right has been violated you deserve compensation for physical, monetary, and even emotional losses.
We have helped clients who have been involved in car accidents and truck accidents achieve the justice they deserve and gain compensation for damages, medical bills, and more. If you were hurt in a work injury, we also handle workers’ compensation cases. You deserve to be safe at all times on the job, so we will help you make sure your lost wages, medical bills, and other losses are covered.
Trucking Litigation
If you or a loved one have been injured in a trucking accident you may have a right to compensation through the filing of a personal injury claim against the truck driver, and other parties, such as the trucking company that employs the driver. The trucking industry is heavily regulated by the federal government and interstate accidents can be extremely complicated.
Our firm knows how to successfully navigate the complexities of interstate and trucking accident cases. We will fight for your right to compensation and the relief you deserve.
Auto Accidents
An auto accident can cause life-changing injuries and affect every area of your life. From physical injuries or financial stress, the aftermath of a serious car accident often goes beyond filing insurance claims and exchanging information. If you were injured due to another’s negligence behind the wheel, you have the right to take legal action.
Collins Shipley, PLLC has extensive experience representing clients pursuing compensation due to auto accident cases. We are committed to helping you gain the relief you deserve for the physical, monetary, and emotional losses you have suffered.
Federal Criminal Law
If you have been charged with a federal crime, you need to get legal representation right away. A federal conviction is much more severe than other types of crimes. The government will have unlimited resources to use in preparing their case against you. Collins Shipley, PLLC is knowledgeable in how the system works and will provide you with the legal representation you need, helping you understand your rights through your case. We are located just a few blocks away from the federal courthouse and have assisted clients in cases involving drug conspiracies, felonies, firearms, and money laundering.
State Criminal Law
Tennessee criminal law has specific provisions for violent crimes such as homicide, robbery, assault and battery, and sexual assault. If you have been accused of a crime, you need an attorney on your side who deeply understands Tennessee laws and how our state system works.
