We're More Than Just a Law Firm
“Defend the poor and the fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy.” Psalm 82:3
At Hall & Collins Injury & Accident Lawyers, LLC, we routinely fight in the courtroom for the “underdog” – our injured clients. We also believe in fighting for justice beyond the courtroom, which is why we currently sponsor two local charities that truly resonate with our purpose.
Have you ever seen a homeless individual and wanted to help but you were just not sure what to do? The Sparrow’s Nest may be the perfect answer!
Hall & Collins Injury & Accident Lawyers, LLC is proud to be “The Official Law Firm of The Sparrow’s Nest,” a non-profit ministry that puts in action the love of Christ by helping the homeless and poor on multiple levels. Executive Director Jamie Scott has seen the turmoil caused by addiction and underlying mental health disorders as well as the power and healing of God’s love through fellowship and support. That’s why he began his mission to provide both immediate help and long-term skills to change the lives of the homeless and poor living among us here in Athens.
The Sparrow’s Nest offers numerous programs for those seeking help:
- Food for Friends: Provides hot meals at the Sparrow’s Nest on a weekly basis, distributing over 50,000 pounds of food to Athens’ most needy residents each year.

Consistent with our mission of representing seriously injured people in our community, Hall & Collins Injury & Accident Lawyers, LLC has partnered with Brightpaths to help prevent child abuse and child neglect in our community. We believe in fighting for the “underdog” and helping those who can’t help themselves, like the underprivileged children of our community. Brightpaths makes many homes safer and healthier for children by educating & supporting at risk families on issues like maternal health, newborn care, home safety, and healthy parenting education to prevent child abuse/neglect.
Brightpaths, formerly known as Prevent Child Abuse Athens, is a non-profit, community-based organization focused on preventing all forms of child abuse and neglect in Athens and surrounding counties. Since 1986, Brightpaths has grown to offer numerous programs for parents and families in need. As a non-profit, Brightpaths heavily relies on donations for financial support and continuation of their programs. Some of these programs include:
- First Steps – “Staff & volunteers provide new parents with support, parenting information, coping strategies, and resource referrals.”
- Healthy Families – “Support Workers provide prenatal visits to expecting parents and in-home visits to parents of newborns.”
Hall & Collins Injury & Accident Lawyers, LLC has committed to being a corporate sponsor of Brightpaths Athens, helping to support the cause through financial donations. If you are able, please consider donating or volunteering to support Brightpaths and its mission.
