Exceptional Service

I highly recommend JoAnn Holmes. Her expertise in contract law coupled with her knowledge of intellectual property has proven quite valuable to my social media consultancy. Not only does she address your immediate concerns, but also takes additional time to advise on how your situation might change i...n the future. I have been very satisfied with her services and continue to reach out to her as additional needs arise.

Best Startup Attorney

I have started my own company and Jo is the best overall advisor to a start-up company like mine. I am a scientist and in business for 48 years. Jo's expertise in trademarks, contracts and IP protection etc. is the best. She has been an incredible support to me so far and because of her experience sh...e is already preparing and thinking for me for future.

JoAnn Feedback

JoAnn has been a terrific support to us as a start-up, far more a business partner than just our attorney from afar. She’s been dedicated & focused, and hasn’t let up on the detail despite our having little time for the legal stuff. A true professional, dedicated & competent, but also very affable an...d a pleasure to deal with. -A long and successful relationship in the making!

The BEST Business Acquisition Attorney!!

I would highly recommend Jo Holmes!! After recently relocating to Georgia from California, I was in the process of acquiring a business and was searching for a local attorney that I would feel comfortable working with. I randomly found Jo's website while searching thru never-ending lists of attorneys... on the internet. And I'm so glad that I found and contacted her!! I am beyond grateful to Jo. Honestly, without her consult, Im not sure what would have happened with my deal. I'm so pleased with my experience working with her. She listened to my needs, she worked within the budgets we set, she was efficient and mindful of my quick timelines, and she was very clear with her communication regarding the law and talking thru what is in my best interest. I really enjoyed strategizing and working with Jo. In addition to her professionalism, knowledge and integrity she was a voice of reason for me. She is without a doubt the only attorney I plan on working with as I move forward with this venture!!

Extremely knowledgeable and true business advocate

I must say, working with Jo Holmes is a pleasure. There is such a negative impression of lawyers, but she is honest, reasonable and truly gives the law a more approachable spin. Her rates are reasonable and work is impeccable. I must say, she makes the law so much more easy to understand. I recommen...d her as a true business ally.

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.
