April Collins Appears on PILMMA's Grow Your Law Firm Podcast
BIRMINGHAM, AL, September 23, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- April Collins, the founder of Collins Law, LLC, recently appeared on PILMMA's Grow Your Law Firm podcast with host Ken Hardison.
The episode was released on August 7, 2026, and titled "From Basement Startup to Firm Growth With April Collins." PILMMA, which stands for Personal Injury Lawyer Marketing & Management Association, releases new episodes of the podcast weekly.
In this episode, Collins and Hardison discuss a wide range of topics, including:
- Collins's journey from starting her practice in her basement to buying her own office building
- Overcoming trust barriers to hiring more staff and an associate attorney
- Choosing where to invest income
- Standing out in a competitive market by embracing what makes you unique
- Making client service a top priority
- Embracing AI tools company-wide
Collins said that PILMMA was a significant factor in developing business skills and growing her firm over the past several years.
"The mindset is the first thing that I had to change, and to learn to develop into a businesswoman," Collins said. "I didn't have a business background, I didn't have family members who ever owned big businesses or went to law school, so I had to learn."
She said this was challenging in Birmingham, which is a highly competitive market for injury attorneys.
"I had to learn to lean into what makes me different instead of shying away from it," Collins said. "I learned that I can find my own strength, my own superpower in who I am, and to use the authenticity that I have to find the people who want to hire me. Because there are people who want to hire me, there are people who are looking specifically for someone like me."
Collins encouraged lawyers and business owners to adopt a growth mindset as one of the first steps in expanding their business.
"If you have a growth mindset, then you're going to grow," Collins said. "And if you don't know [how to do something], find somebody that can help you, because what I've learned for the most part in this space, there are people who will help you. There are people who are here to assist."
