Biography
Attorney James Holliday’s journey to the courtroom started in Central Florida. Born in Orlando and raised in Longwood, he earned a hard-won ROTC scholarship to Stetson University, where he did well in school and took on leadership roles across campus while also competing in mock trial. After graduating with a business degree in 1990, he was commissioned in the U.S. Army and served as a Transportation Corps officer. He went on to earn his law degree with honors from Stetson University College of Law in 1994, after interning with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and earning top recognition for his legal writing and performance in Torts. Known for his strong work ethic and thorough trial prep, Holliday has received major peer honors, including lifetime selection as a “Best Attorney,” recognition as one of America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators, and membership in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

Best Decision
I came across James after dealing with two other firms. James was genuinely concerned about my injuries and worked incredibly hard on my case. In the end I received the treatment I needed and a settlement I thought was very fair. Thank you to James and his wonderful team at Holliday Karatinos!!

Aggressive and Smart
James Holliday helped me recover compensation for injuries that I suffered in an accident. He was both smart and aggressive during the handling of my case. I appreciated the fact that he always returned my calls and explained what was happening. I recommend his firm to anyone hurt in an accident.
