John Holland is an incredible attorney

John Holland is an incredible attorney, who is dedicated and has provided us with unending support. Some lawyers are personable and easy to work with, but John and his entire team made the process of one of the biggest hardships I’ve experienced the best it could have been. Not only is he extremely k...nowledgeable, he displays a great deal of compassion and patience ensuring we understood each piece of the puzzle every step of the way. He is successful in the court room, as well as out of the court room, and gives 150%. He is the very best at what he does. Having a stranger immerse themselves into your life in times of hardship is uncomfortable, but John made us feel like we’ve known him for a lifetime. He will be a forever friend of ours and I know that every day he’s having an incredible impact on those around him and his clients.

Senior Care Neglect

We retained John and his Firm to represent us in a wrongful death action resulting from resident violence in a senior care facility. John was not the first attorney we spoke to, but was the one we hired based on his demonstrable experience and impressive knowledge of the both the law and the senior ...care industry. John worked with members of our family to design and execute an effective strategy that minimized the burden on us while maximizing our potential success. John deftly steered the matter into a negotiation that he handled quickly and secured an attractive and meaningful settlement. Our family was spread across the country and John communicated with each of us throughout the process, providing both timely status updates and beneficial counsel around difficult decisions. I would not hesitate to reach to John again and would strongly recommend he and his Firm to a friend or colleague with similar legal issues.

Highly recommended

Mr. Holland took the case of my Mother's nursing home death when no one else would even talk to us. He was caring and concerned about our family, always took my calls, even on weekends or evenings. He worked very hard to bring a fair conclusion to her case. He is such a nice man, so caring about our ...needs as a family. We would highly recommend this firm, and would use him again if the need a raises.

My Experience

I met John and his team in 2010 after I was brutally beaten by the Denver Police for doing nothing wrong. In 2009 I was racially profiled and pulled over for what police said was an illegal left turn. After I was removed from my car I asked to see a warrant before three officers continued to tear apa...rt my vehicle. The response of the officers was to beat me near death with their fists, a radio, a flashlight, and a service revolver. As I lay dying I was further assaulted verbally by being called a ni**er. After refusing to allow treatment until someone took pictures of my injuries I received 45 stitches, a broken nose, a concussion, and suffered a traumatic brain injury and was sent to jail. My fabricated criminal charges were dismissed in court a week before trail and as I began to comb through civil attorneys on my continuous path to find justice I found this more difficult than I would of expected. After speaking to roughly 30 different civil firms, some even out of state, no one wanted to take my case. Most firms would tell me I didn't even have a case. Then I met John and his team. They carefully went through every detail of my case and brought me in for a consultation. I immediately feel in love with these people. So down to earth and wholehearted, yet ferocious and incredibly intelligent in the way they handle cases. The city of Denver didn't stand a chance. We sued and settled out of court for 795,000 dollars this was the 4th largest civil settlement for police abuse Denver had ever seen at that time. John and his team helped me get my narrative of what happened out to the world. When no one wanted to listen, when the city of Denver turned their back on me along with media outlets and other civil firms John and the team where their for me. Addressing these types of injustices has now become my life's work and this team played a role in that. We are now incredibly bonded and have long since maintained a relationship as friends, colleagues and family which continues to this very day.

John Holland and Team are the very best

We had hired 24 hour caregivers for our mother with Alzheimers. When a caregiver abandoned her she was severely hurt and passed away 5 days later. The same day our father requested we get justice for mom. He then discontinued dialysis and died 2 weeks later. When I called John's office I was treate...d with great kindness and although he was in a meeting, John returned my call within 10 minutes. John took our case even though they were very busy at the time. John didn't wast a second getting justice for mom. Truthfully, I don't believe John has ever wasted a minute of his time. His dedication in getting justice for the I'll and elderly along with his passion for civil rights is awe-inspiring. Although it was a complicated case, he succeeded in getting our family justice within 10 months. Through out this difficult law suit John and his team treated us like family and helped us through a very sad time. John and his team will always hold a very special place in our hearts. He helped our family realize it is still a fair world and good people are working hard to keep it that way. Our family is eternally grateful.
