As a prosecuting attorney, I worked opposite John on numerous cases. I found him to be an excellent and knowledgeable attorney who represented his clients to the fullest and best extent.

I highly endorse John. He is the pre-eminent DWI attorney in Arkansas, and I send my clients his way.

I have known John since my days as a prosecutor where we tried many cases against each other. Since becoming a defense attorney myself I have consulted with John on numerous occasions regarding DWIs, including attending classes taught by him. John has the experience and temperament to be an asset to anyone unfortunate enough to need a DWI attorney.

Michael Waddington, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 4, 2014

I endorse John. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.

John teaches other lawyers how to beat DWIs and DUIs. Criminal defense attorneys sit for HOURS listening to him speak and he always blows us away. Think about that for a moment.

Mr. Collins is an extremely competent and aggressive attorney. He is also a great human being.

John Collins has risen in the ranks of top Arkansas DWI defenders in the last decade, and is well-known for being able and willing to go to bat for his clients. With the devastating consequences being somewhat like "legal cancer" it is important to have a "legal surgeon" to help you try to remove the cancer from your permanent record. He is the real deal, if you want a proven fighter.

Mr. Collins is an outstanding attorney who provides exemplary advice on Avvo. I would recommend everyone and anyone to him for representation. Even though I have been practicing fo 24 years, as a judge, magistrate, prosecutors, and in private practice, I learn valuable new information from him every day. A superb attorney.

Knowledgeable about issues associated with DUI/DWI cases.

Debra Reece, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 16, 2013

I would rank John Collins as one of the top 5 DWI lawyers in Arkansas--probably in the top 3. He's fantastic. Very knowledgeable. He also has previous experience as a prosecutor and training law enforcement officers, which sometimes can give him special insight into more difficult cases. Plus, he's just a good guy and an honorable lawyer. I highly recommend him!

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Collins is bright and hard working. He is clearly dedicated to his clients and achieving their goals.

Patrick Benca, DUI and DWI Attorney on Oct 16, 2012

I endorse this lawyer. John and his wife, Brandi, are a high caliber team in the area of DUI/DWI defense. They are trained and certified in most, if not all, of the devices used by law enforcement to detect alleged DWI offenders. John and Brandi nselflishly share their knowledge with other criminal defense attorneys around the state.

Josh Lee, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jul 30, 2012

John has the skills to take care of you and your case like few others. John is a former police officer and prosecutor who knows how they think. He attends the absolute top training sessions in the US for DUI defense topics. Combine the past experience with the knowledge base, and add in Johns amazing abilities to communicate with people and you have a dangerous attorney fighting for you. When I need anything in the state of Arkansas I call on John. I trust him and so should you.

Marc Stewart, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jun 29, 2012

As a legal colleague in Arkansas, it is my impression that John is probably the very best DWI defense attorney in the state. The results he achieves are really remarkable. I would recommend John to anyone I know that has the misfortune of being a criminal defendant.

James Balagia, DUI and DWI Attorney on Mar 8, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I highly recommend and endorse John Collins for an Arkansas DUI/DWI or other criminal defense related matter. I met John when he was receiving his SFST certification and instantly recognized that this is someone I needed to know. I am a former Texas cop and so is John so we had that common thread of knowing when the cops are pulling the wool over a jury's eyes. John has in-depth knowledge of police tactics and terrific insight into spotting defense issues. I spent time with John while we were both presenters at an Arkansas DWI seminar and was impressed with his character, ability and professionalism. This is my "my go to guy" for criminal defense in the locations where he takes cases. I am proud to call him friend and colleague. I am the DWI Dude in Austin and San Antonio Texas - jamie balagia

I endorse this lawyer. John Collins has developed, by far, the most impressive list of victories for any person facing a DWI charge in the State of Arkansas. His track record is the most successful that I have ever seen. This is due to his tenacious attitude towards winning and his unmatched zealously for defending those that he represents.

Justin McShane, DUI and DWI Attorney on Aug 17, 2011

Attorney Collins is a trial lawyer. What I mean by that is a complement of the highest order. While others may simply advertise that they try cases, but in reality they do not, he does. he provides an essential function in our criminal justice system that is an essential check on the power of the Leviathan that is the Government. When the full power of the government is behind an accusation, you need a trial lawyer, not a pleader in your corner. Attorney Collins is just such a lawyer.

Marvin Leibovich, DUI and DWI Attorney on Feb 23, 2011

I endorse this lawyer. John's knowledge base and experience puts him head and shoulders above most other lawyers, particularly in the field of DUI/DWI. I routinely consult him on points of law and trial tactics. There are few other lawyers in this state with as much detailed knowledge of the law and science behind DWI's.

Christian Lassen, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 27, 2010

I endorse this lawyer.
