Excellent

I went to a family law firm when my ex filed for divorce back in 2012. I was originally assigned one attorney by this firm, but i kept getting put off and rescheduled. Then Holly called me and scheduled a meeting. I found out that the original attorney had left the firm and she'd been assigned. T...urned out to be the best thing to happen. My soon to be ex husband made the divorce process extremely difficult and drawn out by representing himself. Holly put up with a lot of abuse from him and high number of motions filed by him over the span of about 2 years. Holly made me feel safe and secure. I had no doubts about her abilities and no worries that i was going to get left in the lurch. I didn't feel like a task on her list of clients to see to. I felt like a person. I felt like I mattered.

Excellent Attorney

I used Holly Monk for my divorce and I also know her well as a professional colleague. Holly is an excellent attorney and works tirelessly to get the best results for clients. She is also reasonable. I would advise people to pay no attention to the less than positive reviews on this site. Many ti...mes those reviews are made by people who may or may not have been clients of Holly and are used to only damage Holly's reputation and are truly no reflection of the work she has performed as an attorney. Holly personally did my divorce and she did an excellent job. Her colleagues and the judiciary think very highly of Holly. She is a wise, competent, and caring attorney.

Do Not Waste Your $$$$ OR TIME!

Filed for divorce almost 2 years ago & we are still at step 1!!! Never assisted me once I paid her. I have called/emailed/etc...& all I get is a new bill. I have paid her almost $7,000.00 for nothing so I'm an idiot what can I say?

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.
