Mr. Holmes is a leader in his profession, currently serving on the Oklahoma Bar Association’s Board of Governors (BOG) as Vice President. He is the first African-American in the history of the Oklahoma Bar Association to occupy an officer’s position on the BOG. In addition, he is an active member of the Oklahoma Bar Association’s Rules of Professional Conduct Committee.

Holmes served in that capacity from 1994-2005. Holmes re-entered private practice in 2005 as a Director of the Oklahoma firm Crowe & Dunlevy, where his practice was focused on white collar criminal defense, complex civil litigation, and corporate law.
