Collins was personally served with the petition and summons on April 28, 2025. Mr. Collins

disbarment. The name of Michael David Collins of Fort Smith, Arkansas, shall be removed

from the registry of attorneys licensed by the State of Arkansas. Further, he is enjoined from

engaging in the practice of law in this state unless permitted pursuant to a law license granted

procedures governing the practice of law in Arkansas.

It is so ordered.
