Amazing!!

Attorney Holmes was very patient with me. All that I was accused with, had been dropped due to him. He has been nothing but kind, awesome, tentive, etc I could go on and on about him, but 4000 words aren't enough LOL. I would recommend this attorney to any amd everyone that has been accused wrongly f...or anything. His prices are also reasonable. No other attorney can compare to the greatness of this one. Great job Attorney Ian Holmes!

Second Pick - Last Pick

A couple of years ago I was in search of a lawyer and contacted Mr. Holmes. He was very informative and professional. After several phone calls and Ian answering much of my questions...I was stuck deciding between Mr. Holmes and another lawyer. Regretfully I chose the other lawyer. After almost a yea...r and a half on my case, the other lawyer was not getting my case handled and lacked the professionalism and caring attitude that Ian brought to the table. I recalled Ian from the past going above and beyond when I was no longer employed, returning phone calls, and having a caring spirit about him. So after a couple of months of contemplating and a year and half of no end in site, I let go of my first lawyer and retained Ian. Ian personally remembered my case and I from the beginning. I can honestly say having Ian represent me was one of the most important decisions I have ever made in my life…and one of the best decisions. Ian got my life back for me and my family after false accusations were brought against me. And I must say sir, your representation during trial was spot on. Thank you for your hard work, professionalism, dedication, and responsiveness Ian. It will always be cherished. For those of you searching for legal representation hopefully this review finds you. I promise you’ll be in good hands. Thanks once again Ian.

Great Lawyer who works for you

Ian is a great lawyer I was up for a two years sentenced in TDC. Before you know it the next time I had went to court I was walking out of court with time served and back to my daily life. I want to thank Ian Holmes for all the hard work me put in for me to stay out of jail. I would recommend him to ...anybody and everybody who wants some to work non stop for you.

excellent criminal attorney

Attorney Ian Holmes represented me and I would highly recommend him because He did took the time to listen to me. And after he listen to me, he then explained the law to me and at the point I he would be the right criminal attorney to represent me. That is why would recommend him because he took the ...time to listen.
