Mr. Charles Holloway: hired for representing my son who had a life felony sentence

I am on a limited income and Mr. Holloway took a one time payment to represent my son who has a developmental disability and Autism and went to the police to say he had molested a child. He was put in jail until bail was posted and I was able to find a lawyer. Mr. Holloway was able to get his life ...sentence felony dropped due to him being found incompetent to stand trial. It took almost three years. I made payments to Mr. Holloway and he never asked for any more money even though the case required many court hearings. He was compassionate yet also highly educated in the processes that saved my son and our whole family through this travesty. The court system was very challenging to negotiate and Mr. Holloway always maintained a cool and professional manner, understanding the processes explicitly and was able to communicate each stage along the way in terms I could easily understand. I don't think anyone could have ever provided the legal support for my son with such patience and determination to see to it that my sons charges were dropped. Anyone in a very tight spot, that needs a lawyer who can represent you with expert knowledge of the judicial system would want to hire Charles Holloway. He is an expert in his field as a criminal lawyer.

Outsanding DUI Lawyer

With great skill, knowledge, confidence and the utmost integrity, Mr. Charles Holloway was able to help me navigate a very stressful and difficult time. He worked diligently to defend my DUI case and ultimately he was able to reach the best possible resolution. Mr. Holloway was attentive, accessible,... patient and reassuring throughout the entire process. Mr. Holloway not only has a great understanding of the law, he also understands the local legal environment and the Pinellas County judicial system. The day after my arrest I contacted Mr. Holloway and he worked with me over the year, eager to answer my questions, explain my defense strategy and prove my innocence. I highly recommend Mr. Holloway, he is a very capable attorney who fights for, and believes in his clients.

Excellent Defense

Mr. Holloway was recommended to us by our neighbor when our son was arrested for trespass. What seemed like a small thing, blossomed into 3 felony changes due to kids he was with having weapons in their possession. Mr. Holloway took his case within minutes and had to appear at court the next day. His... guidance, knowledge and calm demeanor gave us the reassurance that everything was going to be just fine. We would have been so lost and anxious if we would have tried going through the process without him. He was able to convince the judge to release our son immediately and and start the process of reparations. Because he was so diligent, the charges were eventually dropped and our son was placed in a diversion program for minors. Once our son fulfilled the community service requirements and classes, Mr. Holloway contacted us to have his record expunged/sealed. Mr. Holloway knew the importance of this so it didn't affect our son's ability to find jobs or work with certain people in the future. He was incredibly kind and calming to our son as well. Because of Mr. Holloway, this is now just a blip on the radar instead of our son paying forever for a very dumb decision. We would definitely hire Mr. Holloway as our lawyer again if ever needed.
