If you value trust, honesty, fairness, and an attorney that will truly fight hard for you - hire Ms. Holloway!

The hardest and most difficult experience of my life has been the custody battle and divorce from my husband. As a result, it took me a year to research and find the best attorney whom I could trust to handle the intricacies of my case. There were many decisions that had to be made in a short peri...od of time, decisions that ultimately have affected the future of me and my child. Ms. Holloway helped me to step back from the emotional side of this battle by keeping the focus on fighting for what’s fair and best for me and my family. She has helped me to gain a better understanding of the complexities of the legal system in the most simplistic and easy to understand terms for a novice like myself. Ms. Holloway also provided me the tools to feel more empowered to make better and more informed decisions. Her open, honest, caring and very professional personality enabled me to quickly and fully trust Ms. Holloway with my legal matters. My experience has only been of consistent positive outcomes for my case. Because the legal battle is expensive and requires a person to expose so many intimate details of your life – having an attorney you can trust and has your best interest at heart is key. I have watched Ms. Holloway make sacrifices in her personal life and obligations to work longer hours on my case; including being accessible to me after hours – now that’s dedication. If you value trust, honesty, fairness, and an attorney that will truly fight hard for you - I highly recommend that you hire Ms. Chandra Holloway.

Review for Chandra Walker Holloway

Mrs. Holloway assisted me with a very difficult custody situation that seemed insurmountable until we joined forces. She was very well prepared. She demanded that I be prepared and complete in preparation for trial. She was firm, professional and efficient and was amazingly compassionate as I navigat...ed very emotional territory in the fight to secure a future with my young daughter. She is a consummate professional and a wonderful, wonderful person. I would recommend her to any and all!

Efficient Lawyer!!

My experience with Ms. Holloway on the overall was very positive. She was very knowledgeable in the field of divorce law. Ms. Holloway was very precise and efficient in getting marital assets frozen in my case. I met with another lawyer who told me it was impossible to freeze marital assets but Ms.... Holloway got it done.

Review Chandra Walker Holloway

Chandra Walker Holloway is a capable, honest and competent attorney. She is also a compassionate human being. As a client, I feel like she was more than someone with whom I entered into "a contract." A couple of occasions stand out in my mind in the three years that we worked together as attorney/cli...ent. The first is that she insisted that I think about my decision. She did not try to force herself on me as an attorney. She wasn't "money hungry." The second is that she told me after I made my decision that if I changed my mind at any time I had that right and it would be okay - no judgement, no shame - that I had to do what was right for me and my family. The third is that she continued to represent me in a fiscal responsible way over a three year period. Ms.Walker Holloway provided detailed information as to what documents I would need to present. She would remind me of the many court dates that we had via telephone and email. She listened to what I wanted and then advised me on the best strategies for optimum outcome. She kept me "balanced." When one seeks an attorney, many times it is because one is facing a difficult situation. Ms. Walker Holloway helped me through my legal battle, but she also brought a level of caring and understanding, which I did not find in the three previous lawyers that I had interviewed prior to hiring Ms. Walker Holloway. She gets five stars from me.

A Lawyer Who Goes to Bat for You! Who is also, Trustworthy, Reliable, Professional, and Dependable

Chandra Walker Holloway was the second Lawyer that I hired to handle my Family Court Case (Child Support, Alimony, and Visitation Schedule). I hired her because the final ruling of my initial court case ,with another lawyer, wasn't a favorable outcome. There were too many loose ends in the initial ...ruling that needed to be fixed in order to have a more concise order through the court system. As I was searching for lawyers, I called a good friend of mine to obtain any recommendations. She gave me contact information for three different attorneys but when she told me about Chandra Walker Holloway she said, "she is an aggressive lawyer (pitbull) who is not afraid of a difficult challenge who knows her stuff"! At that moment, I knew she was the lawyer for me. From the first time that I spoke with her, during my consultation, she was professional, organized, straight forward, and offered both great advice and insight for my case. She impressed me so much during the consultation, I didn't hesitate to hire her for my case and since hiring her I have not been disappointed. I began working with Mrs. Holloway in December of 2011 until November 2012. In getting to know her as a lawyer she kept me well informed of what was going on with my case, she ensured that I was prepared to testify in court, she provided me with good sound advice, she listened to my concerns/opinions, and was very organized and prepared. I was more confident this time around returning to court because I had an attorney who I believed in and in turn she believed in me. I wish that Chandra Holloway was my initial lawyer for my case then maybe I would've had to return to court. But since becoming my lawyer, she fixed and pursued my alimony payments, she reworked my child support, she offered three great arguments for the court to consider in having my ex-husband sign a quit claim deed for my property, and she fought hard to get a suitable visitation schedule for my daughter. If your in need of an excellent attorney, I highly recommend Mrs. Holloway to represent you. Not only is she a 5 star attorney, she is also a great person!
