Lacey Holloman, Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist

Lacey Holloman is a Texas criminal defense attorney who is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. She brings more than a decade of experience inside Texas courtrooms, including extensive work as a felony prosecutor handling serious and high-exposure criminal cases.

Her background provides clients with practical insight into how criminal cases are evaluated, charged, and prosecuted, as well as how they are prepared for trial. She represents clients throughout Texas in felony and misdemeanor matters, with an emphasis on preparation, credibility, and results.

Education and Background
Mrs. Holloman grew up in the Texas Panhandle. She earned her undergraduate degree from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Political Science. Her academic background reflects both analytical training and experience in structured presentation—skills that later became central to her courtroom work.

She earned her Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston, a law school nationally recognized for its focus on trial advocacy and criminal law. She was licensed to practice law in Texas in 2013.

Prosecutorial Experience and Trial Work
After becoming licensed, Mrs. Holloman joined the Midland County District Attorney’s Office, where she spent more than ten years prosecuting criminal cases. Her caseload ranged from Class C misdemeanors in Justice of the Peace courts to capital murder cases, providing her with a broad and detailed understanding of Texas criminal procedure at every level.

In 2019, she was promoted to Felony Chief and assigned to the 238th District Court. In that role, she supervised felony prosecutions, evaluated complex cases, and managed a demanding trial docket involving serious violent offenses and high-stakes felony charges.

Over the course of her prosecutorial career, Mrs. Holloman:

• First-chaired more than fifty felony jury trials


• Participated in nearly one hundred jury trials overall


• Handled cases requiring extensive evidentiary analysis, witness preparation, and jury presentation


• Worked directly with law enforcement, expert witnesses, and victims in complex matters

Her trial experience required consistent courtroom readiness and careful adherence to ethical and procedural standards.

Trial Experience
Mrs. Holloman has first-chaired over 50 felony jury trials and participated in nearly 100 jury trials, including serious and violent felony cases.

Transition to Criminal Defense
After more than a decade in prosecution, Mrs. Holloman transitioned into private practice and joined Dunham & Jones. Her experience allows her to approach defense cases with a clear understanding of how prosecutors assess evidence, decide charging levels, and prepare cases for trial.

She evaluates each case with the assumption that it must be prepared for court, whether it ultimately resolves through negotiation or proceeds to trial. Clients benefit from her ability to identify weaknesses in the State’s case, assess risk realistically, and communicate clearly throughout the legal process.

Board Certification in Criminal Law
Mrs. Holloman is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, the official certification authority of the State Bar of Texas. Board certification is not automatic and is awarded only after an attorney meets strict experience, testing, and peer-review requirements.

To earn board certification, an attorney must:

• Devote a substantial portion of their practice to criminal law over multiple years


• Demonstrate significant involvement in contested criminal matters


• Pass a comprehensive written examination covering Texas criminal law and procedure


• Receive favorable evaluations from judges and attorneys familiar with the applicant’s work

Fewer than one percent of Texas attorneys hold board certification in criminal law. The designation reflects verified experience and tested knowledge beyond basic licensure.

Board Certification
Fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys are Board Certified in Criminal Law. Certification requires extensive experience, peer review, and passage of a comprehensive examination administered by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Professional Involvement and Community
Mrs. Holloman is active in the Midland County Bar Association, the Junior League of Midland, and her church’s children’s ministry. Her professional involvement reflects a continued commitment to service, ethics, and the legal community.

Outside of her practice, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, playing board games, and crafting.
