The best Personal Injury attorney available
One of the best decisions I have ever made was to choose James Holliday as my attorney in a recent auto accident. Mr. Holliday guided me through the entire process of obtaining compensation from the at-fault-driver and made sure I was fully compensated. Mr. Holliday's knowledge of the laws and procedures was excellent and he treated me kindly and with respect.

Outstanding
We have worked with James on two separate occasions. The second time was more complicated since our accident was very serious but the results were great. I recommend James without any reservation.

Determined to Win
I’ve heard that the outcome of your case is most times based on how the opposing side views your attorney and their reputation. This has been nothing but the truth with James. It was amazing how quickly the opposing side changed their tune when James took my case to trial.

Aggressive in all the right ways
This was the first time I was injured and needing representation. James was very consoling and sympathetic to me about my situation. He was not so compassionate and caring to the other side. It felt amazing to know James was really fighting for me and looking out for my best interest.

Best in the region
James and his staff were very professional and on top of my case the entire time. I have heard others talk about their unfortunate situations with other firms they went with. What James has done for me was something I am confident no other firm could have done.

Open and Honest
James was very honest and open with me about my case. We were always in constant contact and it made me feel like I was the only client and not just a number. If I ever need a personal injury attorney again for something big or small, James is my go-to!

Exceptional service and fantastic attorneys
James and his staff were very caring about the whole situation and treated us very kindly. My family and I were rear-ended in a very bad accident. We were all injured but James got us the help we needed and he was absolutely amazing handling our case. So blessed.

Very satisfied client
My injury case was handled very professionally and timely by Jim. Anything I did not understand, Jim explained it to me in simple words that were easy for me to understand. I was clear on everything that was going on in my injury case and updated frequently.

Honest and Experienced Attorney
I would say more but the fact that I hired James three different times for three different accidents I was in, I think says enough.

Fantastic and wonderful to work with
It was such a sense of peace to have someone on my side who really cared about me and had the best interest in my case. I have heard horror stories from others who were represented by some other attorneys. James was great!

They took care of everything
I suffered from some very traumatic injuries due to my fall. With everything I had to deal with to get better, James and his office really made working my case an easy and seamless process. It was reassuring to know they were always there when I needed them.

Extremely pleased with James Holliday
I can’t thank James enough! I was completely stressed out about my case and James really helped me collect my thoughts. I didn’t think attorneys were this compassionate but he has set the bar. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for all your help.

I've hired Holliday Karatinos twice and I highly recommend them for their one on one client attention and experienced staff. I’ve worked with James on both of my cases and his professionalism, communication, and reliability resulted in a smooth and pleasant experience for me. Thank you so much for your expertise and your kind heart.

"I endorse this lawyer. Jim Holliday is an energetic, efficient attorney who ably represents his clients. He carefully prepares his cases for trial and as a result is very credible when he seeks to resolve cases in mediation. Most of his cases are referrals from other attorneys who entrust their clients to him because he treats them well and returns them when the case is completed. He has my highest recommendation."
