Retired Nashville attorney John Hollins Sr. died Thursday night. He was 83. Hollins co-founded Hollins Raybin & Weissman in 1976; he retired in 2011. He is best remembered for his pro bono representation of Jeffrey Womack, who was wrongfully accused in the 1975 murder of a 9-year-old girl. "(Hollins) was absolutely a fierce advocate and just a consummate attorney in the old school style of trying cases,” said David Raybin, who was a law partner with Hollins. A visitation is planned for Monday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 4815 Franklin Pike in Nashville. A memorial service will follow at 2 p.m. Read more from the Nashville Post
