I had an excellent experience working with Hollis. He was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated throughout the entire process. From our initial consultation to the final outcome, he made sure I understood every step, offering clear explanations and guidance. I felt supported and confident knowing he was on my side. His attention to detail and commitment to my case exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Hollis Holleman for anyone seeking legal assistance.

Hired Attorney Leslie Dean Holleman

Best attorney ever. We were continuously informed with easy to understand explanations of our case. Dean kept us calm when we were going through all the legal processes. His entire staff was also very professional and pleasant. Dean won our case all the way through MS supreme court. We hold a special place in our heart for all Dean did for us.

The best of the best! They care about you and you are not just a “billable” in their eyes. Be patient as they are busy, busy. However, busy is the cost of being so good at what they do! Hire them for your personal injury case and you’ll never regret it.

Hired Attorney Leslie Dean Holleman

After several years of being tied up in litigation, I have learned the hard way that not all lawyers are the same. I hope others will learn from my mistake. My owner regret is that I didn’t hire Mr. Dean Holleman from the very beginning of my legal journey. He is the absolute best on the Mississippi Gulf Coast!

Hired Attorney Leslie Dean Holleman

Dean was extremally knowledgeable about the law, the process, what info was needed to win the case, and predicting likely outcomes. He was spot on what information and approach was needed to win the case. He approached the case strategically and that guided successful preparation. He was very well prepared and dominated opposing council. Because of his preparation, hard data provided as evidence and domination of the defendant and opposing attorney the judged ruled in our favor within 45 minutes. The best possible outcome for us was realized.

Hired Attorney Leslie Dean Holleman

I made a tremendous mistake not seeking his services back in 2012 when this travesty started. I consulted Dean in 2017 about my previous attys wrong decision. but made the right choice when I needed for the second battle. The above choices were accurately added to this survey as needed. I strongly recommend his services and his staff to anyone I hope to protect on a needed basis. Money well spent on a professional team.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
