When it comes to the justice system, Holly has been on literally every side of it. With experience as a prosecutor, an FBI Agent, a defense attorney, a criminal magistrate and a municipal court Judge, she has in-depth knowledge of how all sides will approach a case.
Born and raised in McAllen, Texas, she graduated with honors from Baylor University before earning her law degree from Texas Tech School of Law, where she received the American Jurisprudence Award for Professional Responsibility.
Following law school, Holly served as an Assistant Criminal District Attorney in Hidalgo County, Texas, where she prosecuted numerous misdemeanor and felony cases. In 1998, she joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a Special Agent in the New York field office, conducting diverse investigative activities such as background checks for Presidential appointees, undercover operations, surveillance, wiretaps, evidence recovery, interrogations, arrests, and other routine and specialized investigative techniques, focusing on white-collar crime, government fraud, organized crime, and terrorism, among other offenses.
Returning to North Texas in 2002, Holly launched a thriving criminal defense practice, handling cases ranging from misdemeanor DWI to murder. Additionally, she served as a contract municipal court prosecutor for several municipalities across Denton, Tarrant, and Dallas Counties. Over the past nineteen years, Holly has served as a Municipal Court Judge and Criminal Magistrate for multiple municipalities in Denton, Dallas, and Sherman Counties.

Committed to pursuing justice for her clients, Holly emphasizes the importance of skilled and compassionate legal representation, advocating for thorough examination and understanding of each case. For her, justice entails confronting darkness with the light of truth, acknowledging that perfection is not the goal, but rather the passion to seek fairness and uphold the principles of the law.
