A consummate professional who delivers results

When our company faced a complex, high-stakes appeal of a significant trial court judgment, we turned to Collins Wohner at Watkins & Eager. His nearly four decades of experience, particularly his recognized focus on appellate defense work, were immediately evident. From our first consultation, Collins demonstrated a masterful command of the procedural intricacies and legal arguments specific to Mississippi appellate practice. He didn't just review the record; he deconstructed the opposing counsel's strategy and built a compelling, air-tight brief that addressed every nuance. His Columbia Law School pedigree and sharp analytical mind were assets, but it was his practical, strategic guidance that was invaluable. The result was a complete affirmation from the appellate court, protecting our business from a potentially devastating liability. Collins's recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved. He is more than a brilliant legal mind; he is a steady, trustworthy advisor who communicates clearly and fights tenaciously for his clients. We are profoundly grateful for his exceptional service and expertise.
