Farley Holt is amazing

My attorney for years was Mr. Wolfson who has been retired now for years. He was an amazing attorney also. He cared, when I worked with him it was about children and he knew they were in a bad situation and he poured himself into helping to get them to a better place. He was a very intelligent man... who had many years under his belt and we fought and we won. Now he is getting ready to retire and along came Farley. He was impressed with him but he was winding down and this young lawyer was just getting warmed up. A friend of mine ended up in a horrible situation and it seemed to me they had him convicted before he even went to trial. I called Mr. Wolfson and explained the entire situation and asked him, Mr. Wolfson if this were your friend in this situation what would you do? Who would you call and he told me if it were him he would call Farley Holt. That's what we did. I saw earlier where people comment they felt he wasn't paying attention, did write things down etc. I felt that way too a bit. But I trusted Mr. Wolfson's wisdom and knew he would never steer me in the wrong direction. These kind of trials take a year or two to begin and when it's your life on the line it somewhat like torture. We also didn't Farley that often and of course worried to death how he would ever remember all of the names we gave him, the details etc...Finally the day came. A courtroom, judge and the jury all in itself is scary but it quickly became clear to us that Farley was in his element. Those names we thought he never really heard were both subpoenaed and didn't show up. He stopped the trial and had sheriffs drag them out of their beds and bring them in to face the jury. It truly was amazing. My friend was fearful but yet angry being drug through this mess for 2 years when he truly was innocent. While he was on the stand Farley spoke to him in a quiet and gentle voice. Allowed the man to tell his truth and he did great. We left the courthouse and walked back to his office and you ask, what do you think??? He told us with a jury you just really never know but now I'm going home to sit in my office and write my closing argument and do my best to save this man's life. A tense and sleepless night. Next morning we showed up again. Poor Farley's little girl had been ill that night and I had to wipe his suit where she had been laying on his shoulder. They do their closings and now, you wait....a very long and painful wait. Finally its time, we go in and he has to stand up while they read the verdict of 17 charges, one at a time. 16 Not Guilty and 1 guilty. Lord, I would not wish that on anyone, but if you ever would find yourself in that position I will give you the same advice. Call Farley. A friend of mine is an anesthesiologist and he had the same skills like Farley. He could go to a lecture in his 14th yr of Dr. school and use a note card, one side to take notes and pull off an A every time. He is listening, he cares and he's a fighter. I know one thing for sure I would never want to be on the other side of him because in my eyes he is a master at what he does. He saves lives too. This same friend is now suffering with Cancer and I've gotten to know Farley over the years and as we walk through this part of life he has been nothing but kind and helpful as we try to maneuver through the end of life issues. I am now 64 yrs old and I can tell you there is nothing much scarier in this life than being accused, jailed and put on trial for your life when you are innocent. My best advice is stay out of the York County Court System but life happens and if you find yourself there call Mr. Holt. He may not win them all but I promise you he will fight with all he has for you and I don't know what more you could ask for. I feel blessed and privileged to have had the pleasure to know him.

Speeding Ticket

I first Hired Attorney Holt Ten Years ago for a speeding Ticket I could not have any points on my license because of working for a dealership. He not only got the points dropped he also got my fine of $175.00 Reimbursed back to me. Since then I have used him for Power of Attorney and a Will.

Confused

Met Mr Holt on 5/27/2021 - concerning a slip/fall case. He informed my wife and I we cannot get it into court. There is a judgement ,(supposedly) that was filed by the other lawyer. Mr Holt h as s yet provided us a copy of that judgement. He said he would mail it to us; as of February 2022 still do n...ot have a copy. He also said it was based on some case from 1949 or 1949 but could never state what law. He just sat back in his chair and stated, well it's a good law. Asked again, what law. Never received a response. Sent him a gmail.....no response . I have my own thoughts about his behavior but will not mention.
