SENIOR ATTORNEY

Erica Hollar

“A lot of attorneys are great talkers, but I believe the strongest counsel comes from great listening. My clients count on me to really hear what they’re sharing, ask the right questions to unearth underlying issues, and use that information to shape the legal strategy that best aligns with their business goals.”
