About Erik
Erik Holt began his academic journey in Alaska and finished it in Michigan. He earned a B.B.A. in Human Resource Management from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1997. He went on to earn his J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2000.
The move from a business-oriented undergraduate degree to law school shaped his early approach to legal problems. His studies combined an understanding of organizational behavior and personnel issues with legal training. That combination informs how he frames questions, evaluates facts and advises clients.
After law school, Holt established his practice in Michigan. He is admitted to the Michigan bar and works from the firm Kotz Sangster Wysocki, PC. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in meetings and thorough in preparing matters for court or negotiation. He balances direct questioning in discovery with careful attention to procedural detail.
Holt’s background lends itself to work that often intersects business and workplace concerns. His undergraduate training gives him a practical grasp of how companies operate and where legal risks often arise. He applies that perspective when assessing disputes, drafting documents or counseling on compliance issues.
Outside casework he has participated in firm-level mentoring and contributed to internal training sessions. He prefers clear explanations over legal jargon. Clients and younger lawyers say he explains options and consequences so they can make informed choices.
He has practiced through changes in the legal landscape and adapted to evolving procedural and technological demands. He aims for efficiency in case management while maintaining a steady attention to detail. Those traits guide how he approaches client matters and the daily work at his firm.
Holt continues to practice law in Michigan and is currently an attorney at Kotz Sangster Wysocki, PC, where his work draws on both his legal training and his background in human resources.
