Martin M. Holmes's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. A number of years ago we represented opposing clients. Martin was knowledgeable and very professional in his representation, while maintaining the highest level of professional courtesy toward the clients and toward other counsel. Since that time I've had the opportunity to refer clients for a variety of debt and bankruptcy matters and later learned that they were very pleased with Martin's work on their behalf. I endorse him without reserve."
"Martin is an experience bankruptcy attorney who is not only knowledgeable in the area of bankruptcy, but excellent with clients. I endorse and recommend Martin highly."
"Martin is a hard-working, tenacious, lawyer and I endorse him wholeheartedly."
"I endorse this lawyer.I know Marty almost exclusively as opposing counsel. He and I have had many cases together over the years. Marty not only fights hard for his clients, he also wins. He knows when to choose his fights, trying to get matters resolved when he can but going to the "mat" when he has to. We had a case a couple of months ago. I thought I was going to win and in the very end, Marty convinced me that I had no case. I have great respect for him."
