Mike Holder is a founder and partner with Holder Susan Slusher Law Firm in Columbia, Missouri. He has made mid-Missouri his home since moving from Kansas City, Missouri to attend the University of Missouri-Columbia. Mike Holder is committed to the idea that aggressive representation of his clients in their individual injury cases results not only in the best outcomes for his clients but also benefits our communities with safer roads, schools, businesses, and hospitals.
Currently, there is an abundance of advertising and unsolicited contact by regional and national law firms for mid-Missouri injury claims, which are then handled mostly online and by telephone, with little knowledge of the community’s court system and legal landscape. Mike Holder believes in the value of experienced local representation. Every personal injury case is personally accepted, reviewed, negotiated, and litigated by Mike Holder, who will communicate directly with you regarding all aspects of your case, from start to finish.
Mike Holder’s practice focuses on representing personal injury clients in Missouri who have been injured as a result of an auto, motorcycle, or truck accident, premises defect, inadequate premises security, defective product, medical malpractice, or other personal injury or wrongful death matter, obtaining tens of millions of dollars for his clients in settlements and verdicts.
FREE CASE CONSULTATION AND CONTINGENT FEE REPRESENTATION
Call or email for a free case consultation. Some of Mike Holder’s biggest cases have resulted from representing individuals who weren’t certain they even had a claim. The crash investigator had told them the crash was their fault, the doctor told them the outcome was unavoidable, or their injuries were caused by a criminal act. If you think you might have a legal claim, the consultation is free.
If your case is accepted, we don’t get paid unless you get paid. Mike Holder agrees to work on contingency fee agreements. With a contingency fee agreement, there is no fee or reimbursement of case expenses unless there is a recovery obtained for you.
