About Grover
Biography
Grover Christopher Collins is a builder. Whether it’s businesses, cases, relationships, or dreams, Grover always builds something sustainable – even if he only has a few pieces to work with at the beginning.
Take Collins Legal itself. Grover started Collins Legal in 2013 with a mission: to provide solutions to build a better tomorrow. Always keeping this mission at the center of his practice, Grover’s attorney experience has been punctuated by fostering robust relationships with clients. By fundamentally basing the firm’s foundation on individual clients and their needs, Grover has ensured the success of both client and firm.
Since Grover no longer limits his practice areas, he has served clients with a variety of legal concerns, ranging from business start-up ideas, to criminal charges, to contract disputes. Broadening his range of practice areas has allowed Grover to bolster his repertoire of cases, thereby giving him a more comprehensive scope of Tennessee law. Because Grover believes in his clients and their causes, he approaches each legal matter with an unending supply of gusto, experience, and knowledge – the necessary tools to effectively and successfully represent his clients.
Outside of work, Grover enjoys drawing, hardware, and house beautification projects – that’s right, he likes to physically build things too.

DUI defender of the year

Great Lawyer
I had a small, but still worrisome, criminal matter. Grover made me feel comfortable and confident in his ability to handle my situation. He kept me informed (as much as he could) and I felt taken care of throughout the entire process! Highly reccommended!!!

Legal nightmares? Go see Grover
I highly recommend Grover Collins. After being charged with a DUI in Nashville, I was extremely upset and positive that I would lose my license, be convicted of a DUI, and spend two days in jail. To add to my worries, I already had a prior reckless endangerment charge in Nashville from years earlier....
