Being a good lawyer is expected, but receiving the designation of a Super Lawyer takes it a step further by going above and beyond the call of duty. With 35 years of experience in state, federal and appellate courts, Georgia workers’ compensation attorney Tom Holder has been honored with a number of awards and recognitions.
Most recently, he was named a Super Lawyer (2020) for the 16th time.

“I am pleased to announce that I have been named a Super Lawyer Top 100 attorney for 2020,” said Tom. “I have been a Super Lawyer every year since 2004 when Super Lawyers started in Georgia, and this is the seventh time that I have been chosen to be in the Top 100.”
Lawyers across the U.S. are considered a Super Lawyer if they meet the criteria set forth by a panel of their peers who look for excellence and quality recognition within their field of practice.
