She Fights for What is Right

Holly Hammer represented us on a contract dispute and she helped us through all the way. She was extremely knowledgeable, understanding, honest and her responsiveness is extremely fast. She believed in us and reassured us when we felt like we had no other way out. We would have felt so lost without h...er as a legal counsel. She fought for us and walked us through the end. She is definitely the one to hire if you need a lawyer.

I have had the pleasure to work with Holly on a number of issues in the legal community over the past three years. She is a knowledgeable, dedicated advocate for her clients and an innovative, strategic attorney. She has a true zest for her practice and a real appetite for staying on top of cutting e...dge issues in the legal field.

Holly Hammer's Review

I had just moved to Raleigh from California when I met Holly at a party. She had lived in California too so we started talking about our life there. I had just sold my business in Southern California. (I wish I knew her while I was negotiating the terms of the sales contract). In addition to not r...eceiving payments, I was concerned about a non-compete clause that I had signed with the sale of my business. I was an expert in my field and well-known from my business so I was hesitate about continuing my life-long profession. Holly devised a step-by-step plan of action. She was very knowledgeable about business, contracts, and employment law both in NC and CA. Her creative strategy, attention to detail, experience, and assertiveness put me on the right path. She recommended a California firm that she had worked with to continue my case. I have been equally impressed with them. Holly continues to provide reassurance and support whenever I need it. My life is less stressful because of Holly Hammer. I highly recommend her!

Great Life Sciences Knowledge!

I was referred to Holly by a friend who had used her and had nothing but good things to say about her. Subsequently, both my husband and I worked with Holly to review our contracts for new jobs in the Life Sciences Industry. Holly was clearly knowledgeable and able to guide us as well with contract... negotiations in terms of protecting ourselves and identifying what was a 'nice to have' vs a 'need to have' in the contracts. She thoroughly reviewed the contracts in a timely manner, and spent the time with us to walk us through the contracts as well as suggested changes in lay person terms. I have enjoyed getting to know Holly through the process and highly recommend her.

a big help to a small non-profit at a great price

Working with Holly Hammer was a blessing for our organization. I am on the board of a small non-profit located in southeastern NC that was going through a tumultuous leadership transition. Hammer Law, PLLC provided not only expert legal counseling, but also advice and recommendations on managing a le...adership transition and dealing with employee policies and procedures. She also developed a number of documents for us that we used to negotiate personnel arrangements. Holly represented our agency professionally and dispassionately, but also with a caring concern for our mission and our clients. Her prices were incredibly fair for our small non-profit and she went above and beyond what we paid her for! I would highly recommend Hammer Law, PLLC to any agency or individual who needs legal services related to employment. She's just an intelligent, down-to-earth person who works hard to protect you.
