Pamela S. Holmes

I retained Pam about 10 years ago for a contentious post-judgment child custody motion. At the time, I was five years into a shared 50/50 residential order that wasn’t working for my kids, and we needed a change. Anyone familiar with this process knows it’s not an easy thing to do. I spent an afte...rnoon at the courthouse in Biddeford observing attorneys with their child custody clients, and I wasn’t impressed. I also spoke with two guardian ad litems who happened to be between clients, hoping for a referral. Both of them recommended Pam—and that spoke volumes. When I met with her, I immediately knew she was the right choice. Pam is well-known and highly respected by her peers, and that matters in family law. With her help, we were able to modify custody without even going to a testimony hearing—she successfully negotiated an agreed-to order with the opposing attorney. As my kids grew older, we needed additional modifications. Pam guided us through those as well, achieving agreements that worked for everyone. She is a skilled negotiator, compassionate, and truly empathetic. If you’re looking for a family law attorney, I highly recommend Pamela Holmes at Holmes Legal Group.

Pam Holmes is an excellent attorney for handling extremely difficult and challenging cases involving divorce and custody issues. I couldn't have found a better person to deal with my case, with the legal guardian, and my ex-wife and her lawyer. Pam is organized, very professional, excellent at defe...nding and representing her clients in court and in mediation. I can't say enough good things about her, and I highly recommend her.

Child Custody/safety cases are by far the most difficult cases on every level. I am so thankful I was referred to Pamela Holmes. She is, hands down, the most straight forward, clear cut, no BS attorney I’ve ever dealt with. I have had 3 others to help me in the past ... none compare, none were able t...o help me at this level. To say I’m Grateful is not enough. I highly recommend her. She will do her best and get the job done. I’m happy to say she helped me win my case.

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.

Pam took my divorce case after a 30 minute free first consultation. She followed up and worked for me and my children faithfully during the almost two years the process lasted. Thanks to her my two children and I can have a life now with access to what rightfully and lawfully corresponded to us. She'...s extremely knowledgeable and responsive. Best lawyer you can have by your side. Thank you so much Pam and staff.
