Biography
Hollye is a partner and a member of the firm Leadership Team. She focuses her practice on business, estate planning and probate law, with a particular emphasis on guardianships and contested fiduciary litigation. Known for her practical approach and ability to guide clients through sensitive family and financial matters, she combines sharp legal expertise with genuine compassion.
A cum laude graduate of Texas Tech University and Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law, Hollye has built her career helping individuals and families protect their legacies while resolving complex disputes with clarity and care. Her clients appreciate not only her deep knowledge of the law but also her approachable style and dedication to achieving positive outcomes.
When Hollye steps away from the office, her life continues to be about positive outcomes—but with a lot more cheering involved. She and her husband, Brent, are busy raising their four kids to be motivated, well-grounded Christ followers (with plenty of sports equipment and travel ball weekends thrown in).
The Hawkins crew are full-blown sports junkies. Hollye stays active running, swinging a tennis racket, teeing off on the golf course, and skiing—whether it’s on snow or water depends on the season. Her kids keep the action going with baseball, basketball, and volleyball, while the whole family rallies around them playing on their school and club teams. Saturdays and Sundays in the fall mean football—college or pro—and March brings a family obsession with college hoops. And when it comes to rooting interests, it’s all about the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the SMU Mustangs.
