One of the joys of being a Widener Law Commonwealth student is meeting alumni. Gabriella Romeo ’21, Student Bar Association President, interviewed alumnus Prince Holloway ’08. In-person restrictions did not keep them from a fun and engaging interview.
As a Trial attorney at Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Law, Prince is dedicated to standing up for both the injured and the innocent. He is the unique attorney that practices and produces results in both plaintiffs’ civil litigation and criminal defense. Prince’s civil practice concentrates on helping catastrophically injured persons obtain the compensation they deserve. Prior to joining Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Law, he served as an Associate at a well-respected personal injury firm based in Philadelphia. In this role, he gained invaluable trial experience and developed an interest in representing children and the elderly who were abused and neglected in the foster care and nursing home settings. He has also successfully represented numerous individuals injured by motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, and medical negligence. Prince takes great pride in representing victims of crimes and has brought claims against Universities, bars and restaurants. With respect to his criminal practice, Prince represents clients facing all manner of criminal charges, including DUIs. Having previously served as an Assistant District Attorney in Montgomery County, he successfully prosecuted DUI cases and major felony crimes, including attempted murder, aggravated assault, and narcotics violations. This varied and extensive experience further demonstrates Prince’s trial expertise, as well as his thorough understanding of how to build a strong case through investigation and evidence gathering.
In 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, Prince was named as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyers “Rising Star,” an award bestowed on the top 2.5% of all lawyers in Pennsylvania under the age of 40.
Prince is currently licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; and the State of New Jersey.

One of the joys of being a Widener Law Commonwealth student is meeting alumni. Gabriella Romeo ’21, Student Bar Association President, interviewed alumna Niki Carter ’08. In-person restrictions did not keep them from a fun and engaging interview. Niki currently works at TE Connectivity, a company that designs and manufactures connectivity and sensors products for harsh environments. In her position at TE, Niki counsels the Aerospace, Defense & Marine business unit, and more specifically serves as North American regional commercial counsel for the Aerospace & Defense business and lead counsel for the Marine, Oil & Gas, business. Niki is an experienced business legal advisor, with extensive expertise with U.S. Government, Department of Defense contracts and acquisition regulations. As a trusted business advisor, Niki counsels internal clients on a variety of matters, including contract negotiation and interpretation, customer claims, risk and liability issues, and emerging issues in relevant regulatory frameworks. She also regularly evaluates government acquisition compliance, leading to the drafting and updating internal policies and procedures, and development and deployment of internal training programs. Although Niki currently practices in a traditional in-house role, her career path has taken many twists and turns. As a result, she advocates for and encourages law students to consider non-traditional legal-adjacent career paths.
