About Sigmund Collins
I love being a lawyer. It’s what I’ve wanted to be since I was a young child. At my core, I have always been a counselor and an advocate for others. After service in the United States Navy, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Math/Computer Science from Virginia Union University and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia in beautiful Charlottesville.
I’ve worked at law firms and as in-house counsel at a large corporation, advising and litigating on behalf of clients in multiple areas. Along the way, I became a pastor and founded a non profit organization that assists people facing the effects of poverty. Helping people is what I do, and I am grateful to be able to help people with their legal issues.
