Billie is built by someone who has been on both sides of the problem.

TaLona H. Holbert, Esq. is the founder and CEO of Billie Systems, Inc. She spent a decade in litigation — at Weitz & Luxenberg, Steptoe, and Stroock & Stroock & Lavan — managing thousands of mass tort cases and representing financial institutions, while doing pro bono work in housing, discrimination and access to justice.

Placed in foster care at birth and adopted at five, she earned a B.A. in Political Science from Adelphi University before attending Cardozo Law on a full-tuition scholarship as an E. Nathaniel Gates Scholar. She founded Billie after a forgotten transit citation quietly became a warrant that nearly cost her bar admission. Billie is named for her late adoptive mother, Billie Joyce Holbert, who raised dozens of foster children and kept meticulous files on every one.
