Practice Areas

Chicago Metro, IL Employment Law and Trial Attorney

At the Law Offices of Philip W. Collins III in Naperville, Illinois, we focus on the following areas of practice:

  • Music & Entertainment Law - The entertainment industry is rife with individuals who do not have the best interests of performers in mind. That necessitates ethical representation for legal and all other matters. From contract review to marketing and promoting musicians, our firm can help you put your creativity to work.
  • Sexual Harassment - We hold employers accountable when they knowingly or unknowingly create hostile work environments where sexual harassment occurs. If you have been victimized by an overly aggressive co-worker, we have the experience and dedication to mediate or litigate.
  • Discrimination/ Title 7 - Employers - Our firm represents employers accused of discrimination. In addition, we provide ongoing consulting in an effort to prevent Title 7 matters in the future. Employers must provide an environment where employees are encouraged to report problems.
  • Discrimination/Title 7 - Employees - In legal matters related to discrimination and Title 7, you must take specific steps to put your employer on notice. Employee handbooks must spell out proper reporting procedures. We help you facilitate the process if you are victimized by discrimination based on age, race, gender, or disability.
  • Non-Compete Agreements & Confidentiality Agreements - You have the right to make a living at your chosen profession. When an unreasonable non-compete agreement prevents you from that right, we will represent you. Our firm also advocates for clients dealing with confidentiality agreement disputes.
  • Wrongful Termination - At the Law Offices of Philip W. Collins III, we will represent your rights and hold your employer accountable for your wrongful termination. As an employee, you can be fired for any reason as long as the termination was not based on race, religion, gender, disability, or retaliation.
  • Residential Real Estate - The founder of our firm, Philip W. Collins III, is a title agent with Attorneys Title Guarantee Fund (ATG) and arbitrates for the Homebuilders Association. For clients, we will help with the review of title insurance polices and ensure proper transfer of your title.
  • Criminal Law - Philip W. Collins III established our firm following his time as a prosecutor for DuPage County and a counselor for the Illinois Department of Corrections. He brings a background in all sides of criminal justice in the private practice of criminal defense that our firm provides.
  • Civil Rights - Police officers must maintain the highest standard of ethics and help protect the rights of those they arrest for a crime. However, when they fail to adhere to those standards, we hold them accountable.
