Nashville Civil Rights Employment Attorneys
HMC Civil Rights is a Middle Tennessee-based civil rights litigation law firm. We use a collaborative approach by combining the skills of seasoned trial attorneys and staff to confidently and relentlessly pursue justice for our clients.
Tennessee Civil Rights & Employment Attorneys
HMC Civil Rights works tirelessly to advocate for the civil rights of workers, students, and the marginalized from harassment, discrimination, mistreatment, and retaliation.
This firm was initially founded by Heather Moore Collins as a solo practice in 2009 out of a deep desire to provide a voice to the voiceless throughout Nashville, Columbia, Franklin, Murfreesboro, and the rest of Tennessee.
Since that initial dream in 2009, the firm has evolved and grown into a skilled and dedicated team of trial attorneys and staff.
We are committed to earning our clients’ trust, having the courage to stand up for their rights, but most importantly, through skill and hard work walking into a courtroom with the confidence necessary to restore our client’s rights.

We take cases to trial!
Heather Collins has been the lead trial counsel for multiple cases that have resulted in high verdicts for the firm’s clients.
Because of our results in the courtroom, we are also able to achieve high-value settlements for our clients when that is the preferred route.
Sometimes attorneys push for mediation or settlement because they don’t have the trial experience to back up the bluster and defense counsel always knows it. That is not the case with HMC Civil Rights, trial practice is our focus, and defense counsel knows it too.
Workplace discrimination is a serious civil rights violation, and you need a dedicated and capable team on your side who has experience with trial and negotiation.
