About Lakesha Holmes

I am a native of Baytown, Texas. I have been practicing law for over fifteen years. After graduating from Spelman College and Thurgood Marshall School of Law, I began my career as an attorney in the Litigation and Oil & Gas practice groups of Thompson & Knight, LLP, where I represented businesses of all sizes in diverse legal matters. After about five years, I moved in-house to Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA, Inc., a subsidiary of TOTAL, S.A., the fifth largest publicly traded integrated oil and gas company in the world. In this role, I provided legal support for logistics, procurement, HR, and risk management teams.

In 2017, I founded the Law Office of Lakesha D. Holmes, PLLC. My practice focuses on helping clients build and protect their brands and grow profitable businesses through the application of business, trademark, and nonprofit law, as well as building a legacy for their families through estate planning.

Growing up in my small town, I spend many hours in the hamburger diners owned by my grandfather. At an early age, I learned about the hard work required to run a small business and the obstacles that entrepreneurs have to overcome to keep their businesses going. I have always been inspired by hearing business ideas and I love developing creative solutions to help clients overcome obstacles to manifesting their visions. I am also passionate about working with business owners and families to implement a plan that will create a legacy for their families. I believe in educating my clients about their legal issues and helping them become confident in their business and estate-planning goals.
