After several years, he decided that he was more at home on the other side of the courtroom, where he could help regular people as opposed to trying to save insurance companies money. Since that time, he has been able to utilize the knowledge and experience he gained on the defense side to help his clients achieve justice.

Colin has tried many personal injury cases in the various counties of Western and Central New York and has an established reputation as a successful and effective trial lawyer. He regularly receives recognition as one of the very top personal attorneys in the area by such organizations as Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers and Avvo.
