Child Custody

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.

Professional-Loyal-Honest-Caring

Hiring Pamela and Holmes legal group was the best decision I have ever made. I have been working with her for the past 7 years, I trust her unconditionally. She has again and again delivered what she said she would. I’m at peace knowing she’s not leaving my side. The entire team is always prepare...d and organized. They do what they say they will- consistently- no grey areas ever. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

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!

Easier than my marriage

Pam is a major prescence in both mediation and the courtroom for trial. She is well-prepared and reliable. She also has wit and procedural awareness. I was referred to her by a close family friend, who is a divorce lawyer in NH, so I already felt a sense of security and confidence. I now unde...rstand why he felt she was the right choice for me! She provided superb fair representation and helped resolve a difficult situation as smoothly as she could.

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.

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."

  • 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.
