Firm Overview

Chicago Metro Employment Law & Entertainment Attorney

Fame can be fleeting if someone discovers you or your band’s talents. Sometimes the offers are genuine. Other times, your lack of experience is exploited. At the Law Offices of Philip W. Collins III in Naperville, Illinois, we recognize the needs of performing artists on legal matters in and outside of the entertainment industry.

Sudden Fame and the Need for Legal Representation

At our law firm, we recognize that nationwide and international exposure can come as easy as downloading a video on YouTube. No longer do bands necessarily have to ply their trade at a local bar. A major discovery can occur from the click of a mouse. Sudden fame has its trappings and many run the risk of exploitation.

That is why you need representation from an entertainment lawyer and the founder of our firm, Philip W. Collins III. Whether it is reviewing booking or recording contracts or securing copyrights for music and other intellectual property, we have the experience and dedication to help you.

Defending Your Rights When Charged with a Crime

As in any other line of work, our performing artist clients often find themselves in scrapes with the law. Mr. Collins, a former DuPage County prosecutor, initially established his practice to defend clients charged with a variety of felony and misdemeanor criminal charges.

Mr. Collins’ experience includes 50 felony jury trials and hundreds of bench trials as a prosecutor. He has gained the respect of his peers throughout the legal industry for his litigation skills. Local newspapers are usually anxious to cover his high-profile cases. The reputation of Mr. Collins and the credibility and respect he has earned are the most valuable assets at our firm.
