Holcomb Dunbar is a law firm of about 15 attorneys formed by the merger of two law firms in Clarksdale, Mississippi in 1973. The firm, however, traces its roots to John W. Cutrer who founded one of the predecessors to the current firm in 1885.

By the time Nobel Laureate William Faulkner was born 111 years ago in Mississippi, John W. Cutrer had been practicing law in Clarksdale for a dozen years. The descendents of Cutrer's firm have become Holcomb Dunbar, home-based where Faulkner himself made his home base for most of his life: Oxford, Mississippi. Out of this office, Holcomb Dunbar provides a full range of legal services as a regional law firm serving the needs of clients throughout the entire state of Mississippi.

The Firm concentrates its practice in the areas of civil litigation, real estate, family, employment and criminal law. Its civil litigation practice focuses on insurance defense and coverage issues, workers compensation, product liability, professional liability, commercial litigation, and mass-tort defense.
