Louis Hollingsworth was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. A graduate of the University of Arizona, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1980, and a Juris Doctor in 1986.Mr. Hollingsworth began his legal career as a Deputy County Attorney in the Pima County Attorney’s office. After five years as a prosecutor he became a private attorney, with an emphasis in personal injury. Since 2001, Mr. Hollingsworth has been awarded an A-V rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating possible by the most respected national attorney-rating firm. The “A” rating is the highest awarded for skill level while the “V” rating represents the highest score attainable for a lawyer’s ethics. The rating is awarded based on a confidential peer review process.“When I represent people who are injured I have one goal in mind – to make things right for them after all they’ve been through,” says Mr. Hollingsworth. “Although most people recover from an injury, some, unfortunately, will have to live with pain for the rest of their lives. We prepare our cases knowing that if we have to, we will take them all the way to trial to achieve justice for our injured clients.”Professional Presentations
