About Michael S
Michael S Holder is an attorney who has built a steady practice inside a firm that bears his name. He is known in local legal circles for a methodical approach to cases and for working closely with colleagues to resolve complex matters. He has kept a steady presence in the profession at a time when legal practices have become more specialized and collaborative.
He entered the profession after completing the required legal education and bar admission processes that all practicing lawyers undertake. Early on he moved into private practice, learning the routines of client intake, file management, and courtroom preparation that define daily life at many law offices. That foundation informed how he organizes case work and delegates responsibilities within a team.
Over the years his career has taken place largely in firm settings. He has worked alongside other lawyers in collaborative arrangements and has participated in the administration of firm business. Those experiences shaped his understanding of how small and mid‑size law firms operate — balancing client service, financial realities, and the demands of litigation and transactional work.
Holder maintains active memberships in professional associations. He takes part in association activities that provide continuing legal education and opportunities to compare notes with peers. That engagement keeps him aware of changes in rules and practice, and it provides a regular forum for discussing procedural and substantive developments in the law.
Colleagues describe him as practical and procedural in his workstyle. He emphasizes clear communication with clients and careful preparation before hearings or settlement talks. He does not court the spotlight. Instead he focuses on the day‑to‑day tasks that move files forward: discovery, drafting, negotiation, and court appearances when needed. Those tasks form the bulk of his working life and the basis for the advice he gives to clients.
He currently practices at Holder Susan Slusher Oxenhandler, LLC. At that firm he handles a variety of matters typical for a generalist firm, coordinating with partners and associates on cases that require multiple skill sets. He remains an active member of professional groups and continues to take on matters through his firm. He currently concentrates his practice on client representation and case management at Holder Susan Slusher Oxenhandler, LLC.
