Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Ms. Biederman. She is professional and incredibly responsive. She is clearly an expert in family law and was empathetic every step of the way treating me with such care and kindness recognizing my situation was emotional and personal but also knowing when to provide balanced legal ...advice with setting realistic expectations. She was proactive and I was always fully informed. She was both a partner and advisor and I would not have had the successful outcome I did without her representation.

Former client

Holly was an excellent attorney and very professional from the moment I spoke to her on the phone. She is very detail oriented and truly cared about my situation. I was beyond satisfied and have recommended her to several close friends who are also happy with her work.

Tough lawyer, good listener

Holly listened to my concerns about my children and my business and guided me through my case with those concerns in mind. The judge greeted her by name when we came into the courtroom and listened when she spoke. She was tough and respectful and anticipated problems. I would recommend her to anyone ...with complex problems to solve.

Posted by anonymous | July 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Divorce with emergency custody concerns

Holly guided me through a highly stressful divorce when I became aware that my children were not in a safe situation with my former spouse. Holly expertly set in motion the processes that would eventually set lasting protective structures in place. Her knowledge of the judges, the court, the legal... process, and the various possibilities and likely outcomes helped me manage my both my fear but also the relationship with my ex that had become highly fraught. She provided solid advice that we followed to an outcome I could be pleased with, not only in our court appearances but also through the mediation process. I could not imagine a better guide and legal representative, and I would not repeat that experience with anyone else.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
