Patrick Holmes recently helped me with a speeding ticket I received. I was nervous about what the outcome would be because I have a history of speeding tickets. After talking with Mr. Holmes and giving him the details of my ticket I felt confident I was in good hands and things would be okay. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and he never seemed to be bothered by questions I had. If I have the need for legal help in the future I plan to contact him and I highly recommend him for others as well!
Mr. Holmes helped me during a very emotional time in my life and helped me regain custody of my son. Having an attorney who genuinely cares for the safety and well-being of my child was an immense comfort. He tells you his concerns and hopes and is open to your input as the process moves forward. I very much felt that we were a team and my son is now with me and thriving! I could never thank him enough!

Best attorney in town!
I used Patrick to close on a house I recently purchased. He was knowledgable, efficient and thorough and got it closed out swiftly with no issues distrusting the seemless transaction. I plan on using him for any and all of my real estate transactions in the future.

Best Divorce Attorney in Town
I thought my divorce was going to be simple, but after many failed attempts at serving my ex, Mr. Holmes had to get a process server involved to help us move forward. Mr. Holmes was honest and encouraging every step of the way. Even when I felt like we had everything going against us, he still reassured me, and more importantly, proved to me that he not only knew what he was doing, but was an attorney I could actually trust. I would recommend everyone facing this tough battle do it with Mr. Holmes on their side.

Custody
I am at a loss for words to express my sincere, eternal gratitude to Attorney Patrick Holmes
for his immediate reaction time, his kind demeanor, and his comprehension and execution
of the North Carolina statues in the court of law.
I am an out of state resident who had to find an attorney in North Carolina for an immediate
serious custody issue. I flew to North Carolina, went to the court house, presented my official court documents and was told I needed an attorney. I walked into Attorney Holmes's office and was received with kindness, concern, acceptance and an willingness to help even though he had a full schedule and was due in court in an hour.
Attorney Holmes represented me, he completed all the foreign motions imaginable for our highly unusual ( out-of-state ) custody case. The following day we went to trial, throughout our four hour trial Attorney Holmes would ask if I was OK, noting this is tough stuff to hear. We WON and returned to our home state.
I must mention that Attorney Holmes's legal assistant was professional and compassionate given our extremely emotional circumstances.
I would like to remain anonymous as, there are tender hearts (minor children) involved.
I would hire Attorney Holmes again in a New York minute
I heard this quote and thought of Attorney Holmes "it is said some lives are linked across time
connected by an ancient calling that echos through the ages" thank you Attorney Holmes

Excellent Attorney, Professional Service
Mr. Holmes provided excellent service for a ticket I received for "running a stop sign". Per his recommendation he had my ticket reduced to an improper equipment charge and had everything taken care of before my court date. I will use him for any issues that I have come up.

Goes above and beyond and tries his hardest.
My situation was a very unique one, to say the least. I first met Pat shadowing another attorney for my custody and divorce case at Stubbs and Perdue. I am the type to quietly observe. I took notice of him being new and eager. One day we randomly engaged in conversation and what I liked most is that he was himself. He did not feed BS and try to keep conversation by saying things he thought I wanted to hear. What we did not know was a couple months down the road an attorney I originally hired for a case would leave the firm. My case was given to a 2nd attorney that I never met with and also left the firm before my case was heard. This process already messed my case up. Pat was handed the short end of the stick. I knew this already and I let him know I was not expecting him to pull off a miracle being handed a case at the last second. I watched him work as hard as he possibly could to get the best outcome. In the end, he was able to get the best outcome I could have imagined. I hope he reads this. Sorry, it took so long for me to get you a review brother.

Excellent closing attorney
Pat helped us close on our first home purchase and did an outstanding job. He recorded the deed and had the keys to us within 2 hours of signing the papers. The actual process was quick and painless, too. He answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. He also had a wonderful support team, making the entire experience a five-star rating. Highly recommend.

Very Professional & Honest Legal Representation
Mr. Holmes recently provided his legal services to ensure my traffic citation was properly handled. He appeared in court where he was able to reduce my citation to an improper equipment infraction which provided me with the peace of mind that no points would be deducted from license and my insurance would not be effected. Additionally, Mr. Holmes was very transparent & honest with regard to what possible outcomes to expect. I would highly recommend Mr. Holmes to anybody seeking legal personnel and greatly appreciate his hard work and professionalism on my behalf. Thank You very Patrick Holmes.

Wonderful, Hard-working and Honest Attorney
Mr. Holmes went well beyond what I expected to ensure that my traffic citation was taken care of. He appeared for multiple court dates because of calendar issues on the court's behalf and made sure my case was heard quickly. He was able to get my traffic citation reduced down to an improper equipment infraction that did not affect my insurance or driving record. His communication to me as his client was very prompt and thorough as he explained to me every step of the process and was honest about potential outcomes from the start. I couldn't imagine hiring any other attorney to help in a time of need. Thank you so much Mr. Holmes!!!
