"The Firm and particularly the members of the D.C. health practice are delighted to see Guy return," commented Joel Michaels, head of the D.C. health practice." He brings a wealth of experience and credentials, which will enhance our already preeminent national health practice."
Mr. Collier earned his B.A. from the University of Virginia, his J.D. from the University of Richmond Law School and a master’s in public health from John Hopkins University.
