Holland Law Firm is pleased to announce the addition of a new partner, former Madison County Chief Judge Ann Callis. Eric Holland, founder of the firm, said โ€œWith Annโ€™s hometown roots in Granite City, years of experience on the Madison County bench, and her large book of business , I think itโ€™s a wonderful opportunity to expand our growing business across the river.โ€ Holland also pointed to a number of significant wins that Callis has notched since leaving the bench in 2013, calling the former jurist โ€œa force to be reckoned withโ€ in Illinois litigation.

Callis agreed: โ€œIโ€™m very fortunate to join a firm with such a comprehensive history of helping people, and Iโ€™m very excited about the opportunity to come back home to Granite City and practice law.โ€ Callis will head the firmโ€™s new Illinois office which will be located in her hometown of Granite City.

Holland Law Firm has an extensive background in FELA, mass torts, and complex litigation and has a long history of record-setting results. The firmsโ€™s high profile work includes the widely publicized $4.69 billion dollar verdict against Johnson & Johnson in 2018, the successful resolution of a 2000-plaintiff mass medical device action, and a $17 million dollar FELA verdict, which is the largest in St. Louis history. Holland added that โ€œthe skyโ€™s the limit with Judge Callis on our teamโ€ and pointed to several upcoming high profile trials.

Callis was previously a partner with Goldenberg, Heller & Antognoli, p.c.
