This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Negative Experience

I was consulted by Tanja over the phone. She failed to let me speak. When I was finally able to ask what the difference between a pre and post nuptial agreement was she explained it was BEFORE and AFTER marriage - obviously. After I asked about the difference in legalities she reminded me how ridicul...ous this conversation was due to our timeline (which I had told her we were not pressed on a PREnup but wanted to understand the difference). She then went on to say how contentious these situations can be and how they’re “never pretty”. Tanja was rude, short and disheartening. I left the conversation confident I would not be providing her with my business.

Compassionate, knowledgeable, motivated and patient attorney.

Ms. Holecek provided me with a free consultation. She took her time with me and and educated me even though she knew I had not yet made a decision. She clearly sees her clients as families in need not just as dollar signs.

Exceptional domestic relations lawyer

I have known Tanja for years and she has helped guide me through the divorce and dissolution process. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and recommends other professionals to help with the collaborative process, all with the goals of efficiency and doing what is right for the client. I HI...GHLY recommend Tanja!

Review

I put my trust in this lawyer and was disappointed I advised her that my husband would contest the divorce. She insisted that his lawyer had advised her that the divorce would not be contested. She believed his lawyer and took him at his word. A few weeks later, my husband decided to contest the di...vorce. Tanja did not even call me or try to discuss. She sent me a cold e-mail stating that that "she is not the right lawyer for my case" and that she "would no longer be representing me". She didn't even try to work things out! She simply said in an e-mail that she would be filing a motion to remove herself from the case. Your situation may be different, but I in my own personal opinion, I would recommend her for uncontested divorce only.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Tanja professionally for 25 years. Her knowledge of matrimonial/divorce law is superior. She is an aggressive advocate on behalf of her clients and will definitely NOT back down from a fight. Tanja has represented several of my clients in the past and, without exception, all of them were satisfied with her and impressed by her sensitivity to their unique situations. In our profession and especially in the divorce law arena it is often impossible to satisfy every divorce client because of the emotional nature of the proceedings but Tanja excels in being tough when the situation dictates and being sensitive to the clients needs at the same time. I recommend this lawyer for all family law matters without any hesitation whatsoever."
