FIRM SPOTLIGHT
HOLLAND & HART
BOISE, IDAHO
Throughout its 70-year legacy, Holland & Hart’s Boise office has been a
powerhouse out West with a deep talent pool. Both trial consultants and
graphics specialists are in-house, so they present complex cases to jurors in
an understandable way. This way, “the client can make intelligent decisions
as we go along,” says firm partner Walter Bithell. Perry Van Tassell was one of
134 farmers affected by the U.S. government’s use of an herbicide to combat
a wildfire in southern Idaho. “They made the other attorneys look like those
kindergarten kids,” Van Tassell says. “I mean, they’re ready to go to court. And
they do a really, really good job when they get there.” He adds, “I can’t speak
of one farmer that I know of that doesn’t think the world of Holland & Hart.
They felt like Holland & Hart went beyond what they needed to do to make us
happy and to keep us informed, and get a good settlement for us.”
