Holly Williams

Talk to Holly Williams for any period of time and you’re bound to notice some of the reasons her clients like her so much. She’s smart, but not loud. She’s a good thinker, but more than that, a very good listener. She’s a successful lawyer and businessperson, and she genuinely cares for those around her. Those are just some of the reasons that for more than 20 years, companies and individuals have called on Holly for help in important legal cases.

A native Texan, Holly is the only attorney in the Permian Basin who is Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Labor and Employment Law. When asked to describe what she does, Holly replies, “I prevent and resolve legal issues in the workplace.” Companies turn to Holly to keep them out of trouble. Should problems occur, she fixes them as quickly and painlessly as possible. Whether it is responding to a company’s governmental audit, conducting an internal investigation, or figuring out if overtime is due, Holly knows the applicable laws, relevant regulations, and industry nuances. Individuals turn to her when they believe they have a legal case against their employer or need help navigating an employer’s policies. Holly provides the assistance they need so they can get on with their jobs and their lives.

Ask others what they think of Holly and you’ll hear that she is smart, works extremely hard, and is creative when it comes to solving problems. She says creativity typically comes into play when she is trying to keep clients out of court. Not that she isn’t ready to try cases when necessary. But Holly sees that as a last resort, and as a trained mediator, she can assist two parties that are trying to resolve their differences outside the courtroom. She has represented numerous clients before various state and federal agencies and is licensed in both Texas and New Mexico.
