Thomas L. Holder, Esq., of Long & Holder, LLP Law Firm is a true legal professional. On the scale from 1 to 10, Tom’s legal knowledge, his in depth workmen compensation experience, easy access to his clients, and his remarkable communication skills are key factors why his service is rated 10, the hi...ghest on this grading scale. Tom exhibited remarkable patience while he made sure that I received the maximum medical care over the many years I was injured. He finally settled my case for the maximum amount through mediation, and He also requested the insurance company to set aside compensation for me to cover future expenses for my work related accident. Indeed, if anyone needs an outstanding lawyer, Thomas L. Holder is highly recommended.

I am a teacher. When I was denied workers compensation by one of the metro Atlanta school systems after a fall at work, I decided to look into getting legal representation. My husband contacted 2 attorneys, who were highly recommended to us. Both attorneys were extremely knowledgeable. We decide...d to use Tom Holder, as we felt that he explained what our options were. Also, unlike the other attorney, he did not put any pressure on us to make a quick decision. Once we decided to proceed with litigation, Mr Holder was able to get workers compensation coverage including reimbursement of medical expenses, loss wages, as well as compensation for lost wages. At the same time I was able to go back to teaching. Mr Holder was helpful, professional, and efficient. The outcome could not have been better.

I was involved in a devastating injury at work that caused significant breathing problems for me. As a nurse, I know how difficult physicians can be to work with. I also know that certain injuries are difficult to prove unless you have a team that is on your side. Tom was there for me and helped me t...hrough a time of pain, anxiety, financial hardship, uncertainty, physical pain and suffering and often a feeling of hopelessness. In the small town where I am from, there is a good ol' boy network that could have squashed any hope of my getting compensated fairly. Tom knew the system and was able to guide me so that I could find physicians that would really listen and treat my complicated injuries. Not only did Tom see to it that I was compensated fairly, he always gave me hope. He explained everything to me in a language that I could understand. He gave me hope for a good outcome, but never a false hope of an unrealistic settlement. At one point, I was ready to settle because I was so sick of it all. He looked out for my future well being and actually talked me out of settling at that time. We may have won a little more money, but I wouldn’t be doing so well today. I had the surgeries that I needed and took the time to get the treatments I needed. Now I am doing very well, back at work and very grateful to this fine lawyer. Had we settled at that time, the bit of extra money I might have made could never compare to the quality of life I have now. Likewise, if we would have settled, I would probably be on disability for the rest of my life, struggling to breath and suffering long term cardiac and pulmonary damage. I will always be grateful for what Tom did for me. During such a difficult time like that, you need someone you can trust…Someone that understands…Someone that will be honest and fair with you. Tom was all of that for me – and more. Several lawyers turned my case away because of the nature of my injuries. Many of them thought my injuries would be “hard to prove”. I’m glad they didn’t take my case. I wouldn’t want a lawyer that wasn’t confident about what could be done for me. I wouldn’t want a lawyer that doesn’t have the savvy it takes to win a case as complicated as mine. Tom is awesome. And he knows some great physicians that will not only work with you, but do everything in their power to get you better. Tom, thank you so much for everything you did for me. I can run again, play soccer again, and go camping with my little boy. Sure I have to be careful in certain situations, but I can breathe! You really helped me, and you played an integral role in saving my life.
