Rick Collins, Esq., has traveled across America as defense counsel in steroid cases and matters involving nutritional supplements, but he can't be everywhere. Sometimes, he can best serve individuals and businesses with questions or cases involving steroids or supplements through the consultation process. He has been consulted on over a thousand matters involving sports nutritional supplements and anabolic steroids. He has assisted on anabolic steroid civil and criminal matters throughout the United States and even in foreign countries. He has worked closely with criminal defense attorneys and public defenders from coast to coast to make sure steroid cases are handled with knowledge and insight. He has been consulted for his views as a credible authority by state and city police departments. He has provided counsel to countless sports and fitness nutritional supplement companies to help ensure their compliance with federal laws and DEA and FDA regulations. He has helped physicians and anti-aging clinics to evaluate their practices in light of legal and ethical mandates. He was recently retained as legal advisor to a motion picture film company making a reality television program with a theme involving testosterone and human growth hormone. He is a sought-after lecturer, and has been invited to speak at numerous events and conferences. He lectured on muscle-building drugs at the 2004 Olympia Expo, on the "Legal Issues and Implications of Testosterone and HGH THerapy" at the 12th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine 2004, on performance-enhancing supplements at the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2004 Annual Conference, and on doping issues in college sports at a 2005 Conference on Sports Law and Ethics entitled "Winning at All Costs: Today's Addiction" sponsored by the Valparaiso University School of Law and featuring broadcaster Bob Costas as keynote speaker. More recently, Mr. Collins lectured to an even larger audience at the 13th Annual International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine, in Las Vegas (12/2005). His topic, "Legal Update 2005: Prescribing hGH for Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency,” addressed and responded to a recent commentary in the Journal of the American Medical Association regarding the legality of prescribing growth hormone within the context of an anti-aging medical practice. He is scheduled to speak again at the 14th Annual International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine in Las Vegas (12/2006). His book, Legal Muscle, has been reviewed as “the most important book ever written about steroids.”
