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 reassu...red 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.

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.

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.
