Michigan Attorney Christian Collis Recognized in 2027 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America®

Peer recognition in two plaintiff practice areas

The 2027 listing recognizes Collis for work in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs. The announcement places the honor in the context of his work representing injured people and families in Michigan.

Best Lawyers describes its process as a structured peer-review system in which lawyers evaluate other lawyers in the same geographic and practice areas. The organization also states that attorneys do not pay to be considered or included in the published recognition.

More than two decades in Michigan personal injury litigation

Collis has practiced law for more than 20 years. His published attorney profile identifies automobile and truck accidents, wrongful death, premises liability, general negligence, medical malpractice and civil-rights matters among his areas of practice. His background also includes appearances in Michigan state and federal courts and arguments before the Michigan Supreme Court and Michigan Court of Appeals.

According to his firm biography, Collis earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and his law degree from Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University. He has also been selected to the Michigan Super Lawyers list since 2019.

Why the recognition is relevant to Michigan vehicle-accident cases

Vehicle cases often turn on details that are easy to overlook immediately after a crash: insurance coverage, medical documentation, witness statements, electronic data, commercial-driver records, photographs, expert analysis and the long-term effect of an injury. Collis's published practice background specifically includes automobile negligence and trucking accidents, making the recognition relevant to people researching attorneys for serious Michigan vehicle claims.

A professional honor, however, is only one factor to consider when selecting counsel. Experience with the specific type of collision, communication, trial preparation, fee terms and the attorney-client relationship can all matter. No lawyer or award can guarantee the result of a particular case.
