Carly is an excellent attorney!

Carly helped me in a very contentious divorce and quickly understood all the complexities that is caused by the opposition who only wanted to fight. She successfully helped get to the core issues and provided solid advice based on facts and law. I highly recommend Carly because she went above and bey...ond in support and representation for me.

Carly was great!

Carly was very clear and easy to follow when discussing child custody. The questions I did have she was able to answer with confidence and sincerity. The case turned out exactly as I wanted and expected.

Professional, Confident, Passionate, Personable, Down to Earth, Relatable.

After interviewing with other law firms, I decided to hire Carly for my child custody case. She had the perfect mix of aggressiveness, passion, and straight forward persona that i was in search of. These things mixed with her firms extensive knowledge and experience made my decision worth every penny.... She never failed to impress me with her talent and knowledge through all the difficult situations that arose during our case. In one of the most difficult things that i have gone through, she was always there to listen, pick me up of the floor, and advise me through every detail. Throughout the process, Carly and her staff have been very personable and kind. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for the perfect attorney. Her efforts were invaluable and I could not be happier with my decision to have her represent me on my case. She was well respected by all legal counsel we encountered, and for good reason. You can walk tall with Carly on your side.

I could sleep at night...

I would absolutely recommend Carly as a lawyer. Here is what I liked about working with her: -She knows the laws. She was able to explain in "normal person" terms what was going on and what I could expect. -Her demeanor allowed me to relax despite the extremely stressful situation of my divorce... and custody battle. -Carly is really good about not wasting time and money in unnecessary communication, BUT, she was great about getting back to me when I had questions that I really felt better about having answers to. I am extremely satisfied with the work that Carly did for me during the three years I worked with her to settle my divorce and custody issues. I will work with her again when and if additional legal issues arise in her areas of expertise. I could sleep at night knowing that Carly Holler was working on my divorce/custody case. I handed off my battle and my worries, and she took care of everything!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
