TERRY COLLINS NAMED WISCONSIN SUPER LAWYER

LA CROSSE, Wis. — Local attorney Terence Collins of Johns, Flaherty & Collins, SC, has been named a Super Lawyer in this year’s issue of Wisconsin Super Lawyers. The magazine, published by Law & Politics, recognizes the top 5 percent of attorneys in the state.

Collins was selected based on surveys of more than 12,000 actively practicing attorneys in Wisconsin and a nine-month process wherein Law & Politics independently researched nominees’ credentials, considering factors such as years of experience, number of cases handled, verdicts, honors and awards and pro bono activity.

Board Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as a Civil Trial Specialist, Collins has litigated hundreds of cases — ranging from complex business lawsuits to personal injury and criminal proceedings — in his 30 years of practice. He also concentrates on estate planning, including wills and probate.

Collins has been actively involved in the community throughout his career, serving on many boards such as Meals on Wheels, UW-L Foundation, Coulee Region RSVP, Heritage Preservation Commission and the La Crosse Long-Range Planning Commission. He has also volunteered with the La Crosse County Bar Association Truancy Mentorship Program and as a coach for Central High School baseball team. In fall this year, he was named La Crosse’s 2006 Oktoberfest Festmaster.

Johns, Flaherty & Collins is one of La Crosse's oldest and most respected law firms. Celebrating 125 years of practice, the full-service firm offers a team of 14 attorneys with specialties in corporate, employment, government relations, health, insurance, estate planning, personal injury and family law. Together, Johns, Flaherty & Collins attorneys are active in more than 75 local and national nonprofit and charitable organizations.
