Experience, Heart, Integrity

Attorney Holdsworth handled my divorce, which completed within the last year. It's amazing that anyone can do the job that she does so well. On one side, the courts are so complicated. On the other side, clients are going through very stressful times. Janine guided my divorce process through with ...knowledge, heart, hard work, and integrity. Her staff was also consistently kind and professional.

A Tenacious Force

Janine represented me in Family Court after my divorce and was truly outstanding. She made me feel so supported and was always so efficient, articulate, helpful and fair. Her professionalism, tenacity, diplomacy and with me and in the court was top notch. She was always prepared and extremely thoroug...h. I wish I had her as my divorce attorney. From my first contact with her to the very last day of court, she was incredible, never missed a beat and never gave up. In the end, she was able to get me EVERYTHING that was ordered by the court. Janine was truly my legal guardian angel in the court system. I highly recommend her

Kind, compassionate and knowledgeable advice

Divorce is so difficult, and having to walk this through alone would have made it even more challenging. However, from the time Janine and her team accepted my case I knew I was in the best hands. Her knowledge, experience and compassion were invaluable. She Helped keep the clarity and understandin...g of all the questions and challenges involved with this Very difficult process. I can sincerely say that I would not have anyone else to handle my legal matters. Thank you

Devoted Champion

Attorney Holdsworth successfully represented me in Family Court, Juvenille Court and the Appeals Court. She worked diligently with me to explain the process and translate the legal jargon. Her knowledge, professionalism and dedication to the law are just a few of her amazing traits.

I highly recommend Janine as an attorney to handle every part of your divorce! If anyone could get through a difficult divorce like mine it’s Janine!
