Client

John is very precise, responsive, and professional when it came to my son's case. I was glad to be represented by a knowledgeable attorney. You will not be disappointed in him representing you as an attorney .

John Holt was awesome!

Our X daughter in law would not let us see our granddaughters because of something we reported! He changed that for us! We are so happy! Thank you Mr Holt!

Great Attorney

My family has used John Holt for several years and we have always been satisfied with his representation. He and his staff are always polite and professional. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

Custody client

I thank God for this man and his staff. He got custody of my child for me. He was very professional and knowledgable. He and the staff were wonderful. I would highly recommend them. He is a very busy attorney but it's because he is so good. awesome experience with this office.

Child custody

Hired John for a shared custody hearing and it took 7 months of zero phone calls unless I called 1st and me threatening to go sit in his office daily for him to make a move on my case countless phone calls unanswered dozens of emails unanswered was discouraging. He is Gung ho at the consultation but ...after he has your money you can hang it up. I will say I did win my case and in thankful the judge seen I was a fit parent because he wanted to prepare got the case one hour before we went to trial when he had the evidence 2 weeks prior when he finally ask for something from me. This review will never hurt his practice but if one person goes elsewhere I've done a good deed choose wisely folk

Avvo Rating

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.
