Excellent and very knowledgeable lawyer

Ian Holmes assisted us in reviewing some contracts relating to our construction project. He was very responsive and knowledgeable about the issues involved and provided us with excellent advice and suggestions. Ian was very helpful and I would highly recommend him.

An attorney with intelligence and integrity

This case was a landlord-tenant dispute that took over two years to resolve. Throughout this process, Mr. Holmes showed responsiveness, expertise, perseverance, and ingenuity. His legal knowledge, intelligence, and proficiency gave him the tools to successfully resolve my case. His patience and kind...ness in leading me through the legal system were extraordinary. I felt he was always looking out for my best interests. He is an honest and client-focused attorney. I would trust him with any legal matter.

Took time to give advice, a true credit to his profession

I called his office to see if I needed to retain his services for a Landlord/Tenent dispute. He took the time to speak to me on the phone, answered all of my questions thoroughly and professionally, and actually stated that I could probably handle it myself. You don't really see that kind of honesty ...these days when there is money to be made.

highly recommended

I used Mr Holmes in a business litigation case where another party tried to claim partial ownership of my business. Over the years I have used several different lawyers who all tend to just go through the motions, aren't aggressive and are happy to drag the case along so they can continue to unneces...sarily bill the client. Worse than that, most lawyers have no business experience nor have the street smarts to fully comprehend what was actually taking place. The first thing I noticed about Ian is he is very competitive. He clearly doesn't like to lose but also doesn't get emotional about the case-very level headed. Secondly, he thinks outside the box which Ive never experienced with an attorney. He was very creative with our strategy that left the opposing counsel very confused. It was very refreshing to me that not only was he well versed on the Florida business statutes, but he actually understands business and I can't overstate how important that was to me. The last thing a prospective client of Ian should know is how transparent he is when it comes to expected fees. He really did everything in his power to minimize not only my legal bill but the length of the case. Highly recommended to anyone with business issues. I can promise an entirely different experience from what you are used to. .

very impressed

Excellent attorney, very knowledgeable and worked very hard on my case. Mr. Holmes came highly reccomended to me through a business friend who he had won several settlements for. I plan to use Mr. Holmes for all my litigation needs and copyright infringement, he is by far the best attorney I've use...d. He exceeded my expectations in all legal and personal aspects.
