If you're on this page, you're probably trying to figure out whether the firm you're talking to actually understands what you're going through — and whether they can help. Here's the short version: Hollington Law Firm represents Colorado homeowners in construction defect, contractor, and real-estate disputes. We do not represent builders, developers, or insurance companies. We did, once. That's part of why we're effective at standing against them now.
Before founding the firm in 2024, Neal Hollington spent nearly five years defending large developers, builders, and insurers — handling construction defect cases, catastrophic injury claims, business litigation, and employment disputes from the other side of the table. That work taught him how the industry evaluates risk, when it settles, when it digs in, and how it tries to avoid responsibility. It also made the decision to start this firm an easy one. Too many Coloradans were being ignored or worn down by the same playbook he'd watched up close, and he wanted to do something about it.
What We Do
We work with Colorado homeowners and property owners facing problems like:
Construction defects in new builds, remodels, and additions — water intrusion, framing and structural problems, foundation movement, faulty electrical or plumbing, and related claims.
Disputes with general contractors, subcontractors, and developers.
CDARA (Construction Defect Action Reform Act) claims, including the pre-suit notice and response process.
Mechanics' liens — both defending against improper liens and understanding your rights when one is filed against your home.
Consumer fraud claims under Colorado's CCPA, including deceptive home-improvement practices.
Insurance coverage disputes tied to construction or property damage.
Our practice areas page goes into more detail, and our articles library is built to help you understand your situation before you ever pick up the phone.
How We Work
We are not a high-volume firm, and that's by design. The Denver metro is full of attorneys who advertise on billboards and television — many of those are settlement mills, where files move quickly because the economics depend on volume, not outcomes. That isn't our model. We take a smaller number of cases on purpose, so each one gets the time and the strategy it deserves. If we agree to work with you, it's because we believe in the case and we're prepared to see it through.
You'll work directly with your attorney. There's no senior-name-on-the-shingle-but-never-on-the-phone arrangement here — when you hire us, you get us. Calls are returned. Updates happen. Decisions are explained.
We've also built the practice to take advantage of modern tools, which means most communication, document handling, and consultations can happen virtually. That keeps overhead lower and lets us meet on your schedule rather than ours. When in-person meetings, courtroom appearances, or site inspections are needed, we show up — but we don't make you sit in traffic for a twenty-minute status update that could happen over video.

Keri Hanson is the firm's paralegal and the operational backbone of every active matter.

Our Values
The firm operates by the principles of Micah 6:8 — to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. We make those values concrete by taking cases we believe in, treating clients the way we'd want our own families treated, and being honest about what the law can and can't do.
