Growing up in Jacksonville I'd heard about Harrell & Harrell, but this was the first time I needed legal assistance. Holt Harrell was the most accommodating and professional experience I could've had. He walked me through everything every step of the way, and made himself available to me for any questions or concerns. He showed me that I wasn't alone in the situation and that we would continue to work for a justified resolution. I would recommend his service to anyone seeking a Personal Injury Attorney as I'm very satisfied with his work.
I had the pleasure of being a client of Holt Harrell for 4 long years! This was a hard fault battle with a lot of obstacles but throughout the process I felt protected and informed. Holt and his team kept me informed and was very patient with me throughout the long process. I felt I could go to Holt with any challenges I faced during my case rather it was him personally or June (his assistant) always came through with great results! You won't find a better team of people to deal with. I highly recommend anyone in need of a great attorney to give him a call.
Holt is admitted to both the Florida and Georgia Bars. He has successfully litigated and gone to trial in both the State and Federal Courts of Florida and Georgia as well as handling appeals, including oral argument, to the Florida District Court of Appeals.
He is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating from the most respected independent peer review system for his high legal ability and ethics. He is a member of the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) which is a highly selective organization of trial lawyers made up equally between plaintiff and defense lawyers whose mission is to promote and improve the American civil justice system. As a young lawyer, he was named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers from 2010-2016 and has been subsequently voted a Super Lawyer. He has been selected for the Florida Trend Legal Elite since 2018 and selected by The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 since 2018 as well. He was recently recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® for his exceptional work in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. The Best Lawyers in America® is regarded by lawyers and the public for more than 40 years as one of the most credible measures of legal integrity and distinction in the country. He is also a member of the Million and Multi-Million Dollar Advocate Forums.
Prior to practicing law, Holt followed in his father’s and both grandfather’s footsteps and attended the University of Florida. While in college, he enlisted in the United States Army as a military police officer. After his Honorable Discharge, he returned to the University of Florida and then attended Stetson University College of Law where he was a member of the Stetson Law Review, admitted into the Phi Delta Phi legal honorary fraternity for academic excellence, and interned for The Honorable Charles Wilson of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
When Holt is not practicing law, he enjoys spending time with his family.

A Very Satisfied Client
From the day I hired Harrell & Harrell to the day I settled, I had an extremely positive experience with this law firm, especially with my lawyer Holt Harrell and his fantastic team consisting of June Entsminger and Becca Kisling.
I have never been involved in a lawsuit before, so needless to say I was completely clueless about the entire process, but Holt, June, and Becca put me at ease and were there every step of the way. Every question I had was answered thoroughly and thoughtfully, every document presented to me was gone over with care and expertise, and I was kept up to date with timely correspondence via emails and/or phone calls.
Harrell & Harrell has gained one very satisfied client, and they will always have my referral of recommendation.

Personal Injury
First, starting my journey with Harrell and Harrell, I felt so many mixed emotions. "Is it worth it?" "Do I want to deal with the legal system?" And the list goes on. I am here to tell you that my experience with Holt Harrell and his team of professionals could not have been more supportive, helpful, and encouraging. For me, going through a traumatic accident, surgery, and a long recovery process is bad enough. And when you add the stress of a lawsuit, and in my case a trial, it’s one of the most difficult things I have had to face. But I will say that I never felt alone. Holt Harrell was by my side throughout every obstacle and every triumph I endured. He always kept me involved in the entire process and up to date on what was going on. I never felt like I was left in the dark and any questions that I had were answered promptly. I also really felt his passion for his job as an attorney and that just made my trust and respect for him grow continually on a daily basis. My experience with Harrell and Harrell could not have been a more positive one and although I hope to not have to use their services again anytime soon, I highly recommend them.
