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.

Jo Holmes-- Your existence gives me hope.

My heart spills over with GRATITUDE… From the moment I decided to step out on faith and contact Jo, I had no idea the “gift” that would ultimately be given. Jo Holmes is honestly one of those rare attorneys that once you discover her, you know you’ve found a gem! Her passion to serve others a...nd celebrate the growth and business success of her clients will leave you breathless! She is fearless, focused, and incredibly intelligent. She works in a way that is very honest, progressive, and pragmatic. It was clear in every aspect of our communication -- from our consultation to the final filing process that she is a person genuinely invested in delivering her clients results both personally and professionally. She walks you through every element of the process -- the comprehensive search and clearance process, federal trademark classifications, office actions, and the application filing, so you feel confident and comfortable taking strategic and decisive action even after the filing is complete. Her professionalism and knowledge of matters regarding business law, intellectual property and technology is invaluable. Her commitment and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure you are represented well, does not go unnoticed. Undoubtedly, one of Jo's most powerful attributes is that she delivers! I am so excited for future clients to partner with her. Sometimes in life, we take chances and hope for the best. For me, it is clear and simple… Holmes@Law is the best! I’d recommend Jo in a heartbeat, to those wanting to protect their business and intellectual property assets. Her focus and determination to see your business succeed are characteristics that merely scratch the surface of what you’ll discover when you partner with her. I look forward to working with Jo for years to come… She is outstanding in every regard! As always, Jo. Thank you for believing in our success.

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.
