Amazing person and attorney

Hollis is a brilliant and experienced attorney who will fight diligently for you and your children. Unlike others, she truly cares about her clients and is very compassionate. We have a terrible judicial system so it’s crucial to find someone knowledgeable and I’m glad I found Hollis to be ...on my side. Thank you Hollis for helping us!

Excellent caring effective legal representation

Hollis Mandell has represented me through a highly litigated 2 year long custody court battle with an emotionally abusive narcissist with his mommy’s credit card. She has stood by me and supported and defended me when the opposing counsel tried to bully me and was even homophobic to my partner on the... stand. She has been my protector against a wicked opposing team and a difficult court system in a case that would have eaten me alive without her. Hollis is a brilliant lawyer with a background in social work and her passion for protecting women and families shows every time I speak with her. Hollis has been my rock and she has saved my family, my children especially from being bullied by a man with no regard for the legal system. I had countless consultations with legal teams in my small county and in surrounding cities, but when I did my research on Hollis Mandell and told her my story I knew she was the one I needed on my team throughout this. With her guidance I went from a frightened, battered woman trying to give my kids a better life to a successful strong mother who will not settle for anything less for my children. I am so incredibly grateful for her time and guidance over the years. Her legal team has been supportive and communicative as well, answering countless texts, emails as well as sorting through my mountains of photos, texts and various evidence. If you’re in a difficult custody or divorce situation this is the team you want fighting for you. Hollis Mandell knows exactly when to fight for what is right and when and how to finesse a mediation with people who do not want to mediate. I was overwhelmed and tempted to give up on certain points but she gave me faith and made sure my family had the fair outcome we deserve. She is pleasant to be around in and out of the court room but she will not let her clients be bullied and she does not settle for less than what is right. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For sure!

Only lawyer I've ever used, only lawyer I would use

In 2015 I got myself into a bit of legal trouble. This was the first time I'd experienced the legal system and had to embark on hiring counsel. After talking to a few attorneys that didnt seem like I was anything other then a potential payday I met with Hollis and Nichole at my father's recommendatio...n (he used her previously in a criminal defense case which she won after getting his probation officer to admit she lied about my father's supposed violation despite a previous attorney telling him it was hopeless). Immediately she gave me the vibe that I was talking to a compassionate human being as opposed to an attorney. Hollis and her team were understanding, patient and reachable which is more then I can say for myself during some of those stressful times. People were shocked when my case went as positively as it did. Even more then the outcome I appreciate her being real with me. Never told me what I wanted to hear nor did she use fear tactics to have an excuse to make the case more profitable for her. She did her job and did it damn well. I appreciate her and Nichole greatly. They get my highest recommendation for anybody seeking legal aid.

Hollis Mandell is the best!

I was in a terrible situation when I met Hollis. My legal representation was completely inadequate and clearly had total disregard for the best interests of me and my special needs child. When I met Hollis, not only did she immediately recognize that we were in trouble, but she took the necessary st...eps to get me started down the right path and 2 years later, she continues to be just as strong and dedicated as she was the first day we met. Hollis is a caring, considerate professional that is not only an attorney but she is a compassionate human being with a heart of gold...one whose interaction doesn't stop after hours. She's there for me whenever I need her and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

After 3 lawyers and 3 years of going threw my divorce she stepped in and took care of us. he really cares about the chil...dren and there welfare. She is not just someone who saved my sons life and myself but I now consider her family. Love Love her. I would recommend her highly.
