Fighting the good fight

Holly made me feel at ease while I fought a motion. Her knowledge and expertise in the field of family law is outstanding.

Posted by Angela | March 23, 2011 | Wills & Living Wills

Preparation and execution of estate documents

Holly prepared three documents: a Last Will and Testament, a General Durable Power of Attorney and in Instruction Directive. I would recommend her services to anyone with similiar needs because Holly handled all my personal issues with professionalism, timliness and care. I was most impressed with h...er listening skills as these allowed her to develope documents which precisely reflected my individual desires. I am a Financial Advisor - customization and accuracy are critical in my business. Holly clearly exudes the same values. Be comfortable in calling her.

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.
