Failure on your part..

We have tried several times to contact Ms. Holliday over the last several months with no response. We had to contact the district court to find out that Ms. Holliday failed to appear in court on our last court date. Her negligence has landed us all Failures to Appear on our cases. All of her client...s in this matter would really appreciate a response from her and want to know how she is going to fix this.

Speed ticket

When Melisa was handling my case, she was having a family issue and maybe due to that reason, she didn't reply to me in a time manner. But anyway , she handle my case very well and the result is very good.

Divorce/visitation case

Ms Holliday was patient and allowed my ex husband and I the guidance and u formation. To assist in creating our divorce stipulations and visitation schedules. We were pleased at her ethics, quality, and time management in handling our case. I would definitely recommend her services.

What a very nice, professional attorney

Melissa is a great lawyer, with great communication skills. She represented me very effectively and got my traffic ticket dismissed. Her rates are reasonable, too. I highly recommend 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.
