Posted by anonymous | July 18, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Phenomenal Attorney !

Since the moment I contacted Attorney Kristal Alise Holmes, her communication was clear and timely. I urgently needed representation for a traffic ticket, and despite the short notice, she managed to accommodate me, which I greatly appreciated. She made me feel at ease when asking questions and provi...ded thorough information to ensure I understood everything. Her intervention alleviated the stress of handling the matter alone, stepping in seamlessly. I highly recommend Attorney Kristal Alise Holmes for her expertise and will certainly refer to her and work with her again in the future. Thank you, for being such a phenomenal attorney!

Personal Injury

I hired Ms. Holmes to handle a malpractice case for my minor child and she was very informative, thorough, and efficient. She made the process as smooth as possible and remained very professional. If there was anything I did not understand, or was not comfortable with she made sure to provide resour...ces and assistance. She was also great at keeping open and frequent lines of communication in regards to our case.

Client

Attorney Holmes walked with me throughout my legal representation in a traffic case — from initial consultation to trial strategy (weighing all strengths, weaknesses, options, etc); to consistent communication and heads up on every step of my case to actual court hearing. As a result of her able r...epresentation, court was inclined to give us a satisfactory verdict — saving me hefty fines. That being said, Attorney Holmes was (and is) compassionate, owned the case, and I could see it right in her eyes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommending Attorney Holmes to any clients!

Traffic Law Violation

Kristal handled my ticket that I received while living in Gwinnett County. I had moved to another state, and forgot about the citation. She was very professional, and told me exactly what would happen. She provided great counsel every step of the way, and even saved me some money. Her prices were ver...y affordable. I would use her services again.

That fear of bankruptcy evaporated when I was referred to the law office of Holmes & Lekan

I was having the hardest time getting over FEAR. I mean the fear of everything about bankruptcy seem terrifying. That fear evaporated when I was referred to the law office of Holmes & Lekan. They are truly professional in every aspect of my bankruptcy case. My bankruptcy file was handled in a profici...ent and skillful manner making sure every aspect of my financial problems were manage. My representation in court by Holmes & Lekan was seamless. Having the high caliber aid of their legal attorney by my side in bankruptcy court made my visit to court stress free. The best part about this law firm is they have heart. Even though they are lawyers they truly care about their clients. I would recommend them to anyone that may be considering filing for bankruptcy to let Holmes & Lekan handle your bankruptcy. You will be glad you did make that call to this law firm I know I am.

"Attorney Holmes is experienced, knowledgeable, and a true professional. She possesses a can-do attitude towards resolution, which is invaluable when overcoming difficult times in family law. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Kristal came to us ready to focus her practice on family law. What I love about her is that she has this calm, pensive demeanor about her. She knows when to take control of a situation with calculating precision. While she does care for her clients, she uses this calmness to give reasoned, unemotional advice so that her clients can make excellent decisions on where to take their case. She works hard to prevent the heat/emotion of the moment from clouding her advice. If the case is ripe for settlement, she pushes to resolve the case. If that is not possible, she is ready to take her skills to the Courtroom for her client."

She will fight for her clients when it makes sense to fight and advise them when it makes sense to resolve issues. She has great rapport with Judges in the metro-Atlanta counties and commands respect of her opposing counsel."

  • 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.
