About William

Preserving Your Rights with the Protection You Deserve

        I was born in Columbia, Tennessee to a family of seven. My father was a trial lawyer and I fell in love with the profession at an early age. I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Business Administration and enrolled into the University of Tennessee College of Law in 2007.

        In the summer during law school, I clerked for the Circuit Court Judges in Williamson County. This experience was invaluable from a legal perspective. It also made me realize how much I love Franklin, TN. After I completed law school, it just so happened that one of the Judges I worked for, Lee Davies, went back into private practice and started Schell, Binkley, & Davies. I was fortunate enough to join the firm and have been practicing with them ever since.

        I take great pride in handling my cases the right way. The goal of any divorce case is to put you in the best position possible to allow you to start the next chapter in your life. How exactly that is done is unique to each case. If you are considering divorce, I would appreciate the opportunity to develop that strategy with you.

Review William Holloway

Absolute Recommendation!!!

Posted by

This may seem an unusual recommendation and endorsement for Mr. Will Holloway. That being said, it is a completely positive and affirming review of him. Will was employed by my husband during our divorce. He was by far the most prepared, adept, skilled, implacable, pertinacious and inexorable of lawyers. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone including my friends and family. Lastly, I would seek out Will for his unwavering, professional guidance and counsel on any legal matter in the future.

FANTASTIC ATTORNEY!!!!!

Posted by

William Holloway is a brilliant attorney AND a wonderful human being! Will was a great listener, and he really took the time to understand my situation, not only for me, but also for my children. He was very honest with his advice and understood the legal system and its culture in Williamson County. He guided me through a very challenging time and always provided me with clear, sound advice in an extremely complicated situation. Will also listened to my children, and he always took their needs into consideration when advising me. In the court room, Will is sharp. He knows exactly what he is doing, and he does it very well. The outcomes of my court appearances were always favorable because of Will and his keen insight and strategy. I have used Will over the course of ten years, multiple times. I honestly could not have made it through a difficult divorce/custody issues without his help. I have recommended him to so many people, and will continue to do so. It is rare to encounter someone as competent and kind as he is.

I consider Will a friend and would recommend him to anyone needing a very talented attorney to represent their interests.

Donna Green, Divorce and separation Attorney on Nov 12, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Will and I have represented opposing parties on a couple divorce/ post-divorce cases. He is smart, knowledgable, and creative when seeking settlement solutions. In the courtroom, he is passionate about his client's case, but always professional. When I find that Will has accepted a case from the other side of one of my divorce cases, I know he will give his client excellent legal advice, work hard to resolve legal issues without trial, and fight to the end if it comes to a trial. He is recognized as a rising star in our legal community.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

I've had the privilege of assisting several of Will's domestic clients get their financial lives in order during and post-divorce. In this role, I have always found Will to be extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and passionate about advocating for his clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Will to my clients that are looking for help with a domestic matter.
