Michael Eugene Hollingsworth Jr.

I can't begin to say enough about Michael and the great job he did in representing my daughter over a youthful indiscretion that could have haunted her the rest of her life if it weren't for Michael. First off, Michael did an excellent job of letting us know what we were up against and was very ho...nest in regards to the uphill battle we were facing. He clearly explained the documentation we needed to obtain in order to help explain to the court the mitigating circumstances and what steps my daughter needed to take in order to show the court that she was trying to atone for her mistake. Don't let Michael's calm, relaxed and personable demeanor fool you: he will fight very hard and relentlessly for his clients. During the 90 minutes we were in court prior to the trial, unlike other attorneys who were looking at their cell phones, Mike was in negotiations with the prosecutor, talking with the sheriff and conferring with other attorneys in order to find the best strategy to deal with the prosecutor that didn't like pleas and our fair but tough judge. In the end, we got the best possible outcome because: 1) Michael was well prepared; 2) Was able to pivot during the day of trial in order to present our case in the best possible light given the prosecutor and judge we wound up with; 3) We were prepared due to Michael's guidance. After the trial, Michael took the time to meet with my daughter to help her sort through what happened at the trial and to inform her of possible outcomes should she have any more"youthful indiscretions." Knock on wood, I hopefully will never need Michael's services again but for anyone who is facing a criminal situation who needs a calm reassuring lawyer who will be upfront and honest about the chances for success and will fight tirelessly to get the best outcome, then I would recommend Michael Hollingsworth!

Mr. Hollingsworth is an excellent defense attorney. A graduate of Columbus School of Law in Washington DC. He was my representative during my trail when I stood accused of domestic assault against a family member by the Commonwealth of Virginia. I will take a moment to say that the incident that land...ed me in this situation was all done with good intentions. My father has had a history of physical and physiological abuse for much of my childhood and that faithful night I was trying to defend my sister and my mother’s property when my father came home drunk. By the decree of state law that requires there to be an arrest made in a domestic violence incident I took the fall and was arrested. I discovered Mr. Hollingsworth threw Avvo and agreed to hire his services after making me a fair deal based on my age, financial, and social situation. Threw his legal connections, verbal cunning, and care for those he comes to represent. He was able to get the charge reduced to assault and dismissed with prejudice. It’s said that a good lawyer knows the law, but a great lawyer knows the judge. I later sought his services once again about two weeks later to petition for the expungement of my arrest record. The legal proceedings went smoothly and I now have a clean criminal record and can move on with my life thanks to his legal work. Michael isn’t just a skilled lawyer; he also possesses something that isn’t taught in a classroom. That even when dealing with what some would consider to be the worst acts humanity is capable of committing, most never consider what it’s like to walk in another man’s shoes. Michael believes that all people hold the possibility for redemption and that they all deserve legal representation under the law.

Mr. Hollingsworth was very supportive and kept me apprised of the details of my case. He accurately interpreted the law and gave me an accurate perspective on the possibilities of expected outcomes. He is very professional, provides easy access to speak with him. I would recommend him for legal ser...vices.
