The goal of Mike Holder is to always act honorably.  He believes that in order to be the “good guy”, you have to be a good guy yourself.  Honor lends credibility to one’s arguments, it encourages opposing counsel to play fewer games and to be more direct, and it gives meaning to what we do.  Our legal system is built upon foundations of honor and justice, and too often the frailties of human nature tear them down.  With honor one earns respect…  With respect one’s arguments are more meaningful…  Through meaningful arguments, justice is served.
