Not Just A Lawyer

Jim Holliman is not just a lawyer to help you with your legal issues, but he truly treats you with kindness and sincerity as would a dear friend. I would go so far as to say he is like family. He kept all advisements and information on a level that could be easily understood, because we all know th...at the law can be quite complicated! Thank you, Jim, for all what you do for your clients and friends.

Experienced and Trustworthy Attorney

I have done business with Jim Holliman for over 40 years. He has consistently been prompt, conscientious, and attentive to detail. He shows the utmost loyalty and respect for his clients, our courts, and the judicial system. Jim is a fine, upstanding member of the community and a dedicated fam...ily man. He sets a fine example for his family, friends, and the entire legal world.

Excellent Attorney

Although my association with Mr Holliman came about because of unpleasant circumstances(divorce) he proved to be more than my representing attorney, and became a good friend in the process. Mr. Holliman explored all facts concerned with the situation, provided sound legal advice, kept me informed, an...d represented me well in the courtroom. I could not have asked for better representation, and I would recommend him without reservation.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
