Look to Holmes Legal Group to Represent You

After consulting with others in the local area that recently went through a divorce, Holmes Legal Group was my first and only call. At the initial meeting, Pamela took the time to understand my situation and asked what my goals were in the end. She then inquired as to how I was doing and ensured I ...was knowledgeable, understood what the process would be in the ensuing months and the risks. At each point in the process, she offered a calm/steady approach, was extremely prepared, and continued to ask how I was doing. Whether it was mediation, scheduled court appearances or the correspondence exchanges in between, Pamela was available for questions, provided options and suggested a course of action that met my goals. When you decide to be represented by Pamela, the entire Holmes Legal Group team is there to support you!

Long Journey; Great Leader; Thanks Pam.

Having used the services of the Holmes Legal Group twice in the past 10 years, I can attest to the integrity of this competent firm. Attorney Holmes legally and respectfully led me thru a mentally challenging divorce and most recently, a long litigation journey regarding a retirement benefit issue c...hallenged by my ex spouse. In the second half of this litigation encounter, I no longer lived in Maine and was unable to commute for court dates, so, Pam intervened and represented me solo. I am grateful for the outcome because I believe it was fair for both my ex spouse and me. Attorney Holmes brings to her service a deeper understanding of women's issues thru her connection and work with the "Caring Unlimited" service group. Pam is a great listener and she "hears " you. You are protected.

Divorce after 39 years of marriage

Excellent lawyer. Through the process of the divorce, I certainly had some moments and Pam and her staff were there to assure me that everything would be okay and it did end okay. She did a great job protecting me and she never got rattled or lost focus of her goal to make sure I would come out of th...e divorce in the best possible way. I want to thank Pamela for her hard work, her compassion and understanding and her commitment to protect me through the whole divorce process. After 39 years of marriage and 43 years of being with my wife, this was the most difficult thing I have ever experienced and Pam just kept assuring me it was going to be okay. Once again, thank you Pamela Holmes and the staff of Holmes Legal Group for being there and for protecting me. The very best to you and your staff.

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."
