Posted by anonymous | December 14, 2012 | Domestic Violence

Protecting myself and my 2 kids!

I spoke with several attorneys in the southern Maine area and was very disappointed with the way some of them wanted to handle the case or their lack of interest and willing to help. Finding Pam was an absolute blessing, not only did she take my case and do things the way I wanted to do them, she was... passionate as if she herself were going through what my kids and I were. She has gone above and beyond what I could of asked of her! I would recommend her to anyone for a seperation, domestic violence and/or parental rights case!!!! Thank you so much Pam, you gave us our lives back!!!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Holmes is one of the best family law attorneys I have ever worked against. She is a staunch advocate for her clients, but she is not unreasonable or unnecessarily adversarial in her advocacy. Pam is also a skilled litigator who has always represented her clients well at trial. If you are in need of strong family law attorney in York or Cumberland County, I would highly suggest retaining Attorney Holmes."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
