About Alonzo J.
Alonzo J. Holloway grew up studying the mechanics of government and public policy. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Clemson University in 2011. He then attended the University of South Carolina School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2014. Those formative years combined classroom work and practical study of law. They set the stage for a steady career in South Carolina courts.
After law school Holloway began practicing in South Carolina. He is a current member of the South Carolina Bar. Over the years he has worked at The Derrick Law Office, where he carries out the day-to-day responsibilities of an attorney. His professional path has been shaped by courtroom deadlines, client consultations and the procedural demands of state practice.
Holloway’s work blends written advocacy and in-person hearings. He drafts pleadings, prepares motions and meets with clients to explain options and likely outcomes. He appears in state courts and handles the calendar work that keeps matters moving. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing files and focused when presenting a case. He approaches each matter as a series of discrete steps—research, strategy, execution—and measures progress against those benchmarks.
Outside the courtroom he spends time on research and case strategy. He uses law school training to analyze statutes and past decisions. He also keeps current through the South Carolina Bar, maintaining the professional ties that law practice requires. That membership places him in contact with other local attorneys and resources that support litigation and transactional work alike.
Clients who work with Holloway typically find a lawyer who emphasizes clarity. He takes complex legal ideas and translates them into plain language. That practical communication helps clients make informed choices about settlement, trial or alternative dispute resolution. He also manages expectations by setting clear timelines and flagging potential obstacles early in a case.
In professional settings Holloway is present at The Derrick Law Office, where he handles the firm’s client work in South Carolina. He maintains an active practice that centers on representing and advising individuals and businesses in state matters. He continues to practice law at The Derrick Law Office and to serve clients in South Carolina.
