About Holly
Holly Perkins earned a B.S. in Finance from the University of Connecticut in 1996. She later completed her legal education at the University of Kansas School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2008. Those two degrees anchor a career that has crossed state lines and firm types.
Perkins began her legal work after law school as an associate at Polsinelli Shughart in 2008. That role marked her entry into firm practice and gave her early exposure to the day-to-day responsibilities of associate-level practice. She moved on in 2011 to serve as an associate at Stevens & Brand LLP, where she continued to develop practical skills.
In 2013 Perkins joined Joseph Hollander & Craft LLC as an associate. Each firm position added a different piece to her professional experience. The sequence of roles shows steady movement through regional firms during the first decade of her legal career.
She is admitted to practice in Kansas and Missouri. Those dual admissions allow her to handle matters in both states and to appear in state courts where necessary. Maintaining credentials in neighboring jurisdictions has shaped the types of matters she takes on and where she appears on behalf of clients.
Those who have worked with her describe a lawyer accustomed to the routines of firm practice: preparing filings, managing discovery, and representing clients in hearings and negotiations. She has balanced office work and courtroom appearances, adapting to the differing expectations of clients and courts in Kansas and Missouri. Her work history reflects experience across a range of firm environments rather than a singular practice niche.
Perkins’s career path is one of steady development rather than sudden leaps. She has moved through established local firms and accumulated practical experience along the way. She currently practices in Kansas and Missouri, where her work concentrates on representing clients in matters heard in those state courts.
