OUR VISION
The Holman Firm is a woman-owned law firm dedicated to ensuring that every individual can achieve justice in the workplace and beyond. We focus on representing clients who face discrimination, sexual harassment, illegal employment practices, and civil rights violations. We provide strong, effective advocacy and support our clients through every step of their legal journey.
At The Holman Firm, we understand that many of our clients have recently been fired or are facing other financial hardships. We believe that justice should be available to everyone, regardless of income. Accordingly, we provide a free, no obligation case evaluation. We also take cases on a contingency fee, meaning that you pay nothing unless we recover money on your behalf.
