I have been recognized as an AV Rated attorney by my peers, annually selected as a "Superlawyer", acknowledged in Best Lawyers in America, by Benchmark Litigation and selected as the Idaho Trial Lawyer of the Year. I am proud my litigation skills have been recognized by clients and colleagues alike. Other lawyers recognize I have demonstrated a career-long commitment to helping those injured by the actions of others. Youe will get a free consultation that includes an initial case review and evaluation at no cost.
There have been more than a few difficult cases in my career where I know, and opposing counsel has said no other lawyer would have obtained a successful outcome. Hard work, commitment to my clients and creative legal thinking are hallmarks of how I litigate.
In conjunction with other organizations I have supported a wide variety of charitable efforts including The Boise Bicycle Project, The Idaho Foodbank, The Garden City Community Clinic, The Hidden Springs School, St. Alphonsus Life Flight, The Idaho Brain Injury Foundation, The Hidden Springs Community Farm and the White Knob Historical Preservation Society. I previously served two terms as President of the Hidden Springs Town Association Town Council.

If you want to know about a lawyer, look at his online Resume at Avvo.com. Or the awards he has been given (like Trial lawyer of the Year), or the professional associations that he has chaired, joined, or worked for (like the state trial lawyers association), or the cases that he has won (especially when they hit that hard-to-get million dollar verdict like Kurt has done), or their publications and presentations to other lawyers on what the law is and how to use it. Of course you could also read any of the dozens of published answers Kurt has given to people at Avvo.com too. You do that and you will see what I see, and others do too. Kurt knows the law and knows the courtroom and he likes to win. If you need a personal injury attorney, that's exactly what you want. I highly recommend him to you.

Attorney Holzer is a top-notch attorney who is well regarded in the field of personal injury law. His contributions as speaker, author, and advocate to the citizens and attorneys of Idaho are most admirable. I highly recommend his legal services.
