The Hollis Law Firm

In March 2013, I took a leap of faith. I left my position as a partner with a prominent downtown Cincinnati law firm, and established The Hollis Law Firm, LLC – my solo law practice. I did so with the mindset that if I always put my clients’ interests first, success would follow. As I write this, nearly five years later, I am astonished at how well the simple philosophy has worked.

So how do I put my clients’ interests first? I emphasize prompt and direct communication with every client. I treat all clients – regardless of background – with respect, dignity, and compassion. I charge reasonable fees and limit my practice to the two areas that I know best: immigration and personal injury. But most importantly, I work hard and attentively to secure the best result possible for every client.
