Review Wesley Collins
Mr. Collins represented my wife and I in a civil suit. It was the first time in our lives that we were the defendants in such an action. Mr. Collins was recommended to us by another lawyer, and also by a close personal friend I have witnessed many lawyers during my 75 years, but I have never witnes...

"I am impressed with Mr. Collins' thoughtful advice and answers to legal questions on Avvo. He has an in-depth understanding of the law and an ability to communicate legal concepts clearly and effectively. I endorse this lawyer!"
"I endorse Attorney Collins who I have know for over 15 years. He is an outstanding lawyer who is held in high regard by both his peers and his clients."
"I send anyone in need of a litigator for construction and real property issues, as well those in need of estate planning, to Wes. He does an outstanding job for his clients."
"Wes is who we think of when it comes to civil litigation in Carteret County. He does a lot of the heavy lifting in our Civil Superior Court. I highly endorse him."
"Wes is as good as they come. I give him my highest recommendation."
"Wes Collins deservedly enjoys his reputation as a focused, fierce litigator. For over 15 years, Wes has relentlessly fought for good results for his clients."
"Wes and I have worked on cases together and I have referred cases to him. I trust his judgment and ability. Wes is a genuine and honest person and possesses great integrity. I highly endorse Wes."
"The best endorsement one attorney can give another is if you would turn to that attorney for advice in a case of your own. Wes Collins is that kind of attorney - an attorney I would, and have, turned to for advice and help in a case of my own - knowledgeable and professional and I definitely recommend him for your civil litigation needs"
"I've known Wes for 15 years. During those years I've referred lots of satisfied clients to his office. Wes fights hard for his clients. He is thorough, he is aggresive and he never quits. Wes Collins is an excellent lawyer. Use him and his firm without hesitation"
"I endorse this lawyer. Wes takes personal and professional responsibility for each and every one of his client files. He is tenacious and disciplined in his approach. He is creative in his thinking and analysis and as such, many times achieves the highest result for his clients."
"In the years I have worked for Wes, I have known him to be incredibly diligent and attentive to the demands of his cases. He has at least 15 years of experience handling litigation matters in diverse areas of law in the various state and federal courts of North Carolina. While aggressive and a strong advocate for the rights of the client, he also exemplifies a high level of ethical conduct and professionalism that reflects well on the client. Should you find yourself in need of legal representation along the Crystal Coast, I highly recommend Wes Collins."
"I have followed Wes Collins since the beginning of his legal career. Wes is prepared in court, and is not afraid to use novel legal ideas in representing his clients. I have referred matters to Wes, have been on the same and opposite sides of cases with him, and have mediated and arbitrated cases for him. I endorse Wes Collins."
"I litigate cases in Florida. I've had clients in the past who have called me for recomendations about Trial lawyers in North Carolina. I met Wes Collins several years ago through other lawyers I know well in North Carolina. I've referred several clients to Wes and they were very pleased. He is aggressive in the kind of way you want your trial lawyer to be-without being unprofessional or rude. He is a gentleman and very much a native son of North Carolina. He has a large practice and handles cases in all of Eastern North Carolina including matters before the Supreme Court. I endorse and recommend Wes without hesitation."
