Custody/fraudulent issues with ex-wife

I would highly recommend Christina Hollwarth for all your family law needs. My ex-wife was taking me back to court over fraudulent issues. When I went in for the initial consultation Christina listen to what I had to say and took the case head on. She is very professional and will definitely tell you... how it is. If you don’t want someone that will be honest and up front with you on issues then she might not be for you. She is honest and trustworthy in all aspects of her profession, she answer’s e-mails and phone calls in a professional and timely manner. As a loving and caring Dad, I trusted her with one of the most important things in my life, which is my daughter. Christina also has a wonderful staff that is very knowledgeable and helpful with any and all situations. I attribute that to not only the good people that work for her but for her sense of hiring the right people to work for her firm. She is the third family law attorney that I have had to hire over the past 10 years in the Longview Area and is by far the best. No one wins in a divorce with children or child custody issues. I was very grateful and pleased with how Christina and her staff helped me through these issues. We did end up settling prior to court which was in the best interest of my daughter but Christina kept me informed with the issues and what to expect if we ended up going to court. If I were to need another family lawyer in the future Christina Hollwarth would be my first choice and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Wonderful lawyer - a real blessing!

Prior to consulting with Christina, I had gone to another lawyer in town (free consultation) who asked me 3 questions, didn't want to hear what I had to say, then spit out an outrageous rate for me to pay him. Paying Christina's consultation fee was WELL worth the money, she actually listened and was... truly interested in helping me. She made phone calls on the issue while i sat in her office, then got back with me on how we would proceed. My case involved a divorce that was out of state and a bit complicated. I got everything I wanted in the proceedings which was what was best for my kids (thank you God!). Her fees are VERY reasonable, and she cares. I would definitely use her again! So glad i didn't get suckered into using that other guy!

FAMILY law in the truest sense of the word

I hired Mrs. Hollwarth in March of 2011 to represent me in my divorce case and I actually just rehired her this month to assist with enforcing visitation, child support and other contempt issues I am currently having. You can believe me when I tell you; I would never rehire someone that I was not com...pletely satisfied with initially! I cannot possibly say enough to adequately express my appreciation for Mrs. Hollwarth’s representation of me, or my jubilation about the outcome. I am a father of two young children (both under 8 years old) with the assistance, diligence and unrelenting efforts of Mrs. Hollwarth I was awarded custody of them! As we all know, this is virtually unheard of for a father in Texas. My case went on for over a year and a half, mainly because of extremely malicious accusations that were made against me by my ex. During that time Mrs. Hollwarth and I amassed such a strong case against the opposition that, for all intents and purposes, they waived the white flag of defeat at the final hearing prior to the case even going before the judge. I must say, it was a wonderful feeling to know that the other side was beaten so badly that they threw in the towel before the fight! It’s been said before, attorneys don’t like to lose. But when one gives-up on “the big day” you can rest assured they knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they did not have a leg to stand on! That being said, I am obviously 100% confident that we would have prevailed even if the case had been heard by the judge. I can honestly say that I always felt Mrs. Hollwarth had my best interest in mind and although she did not technically represent my children I never questioned that she had a genuine concern for their wellbeing also. Mrs. Hollwarth is a truly caring and knowledgeable professional. In a world that seems to be driven solely by the almighty dollar, rather than a compassion for “the little people”, it’s nice to know that people like Mrs. Hollwarth still exist and are there to help when help is needed. I have no intention of ever needing an attorney for this type of circumstance again, but if a situation arose, even though I no longer live in East Texas, Mrs. Hollwarth would be the first person I would call.

Highest recommendation for Christina Hollwarth and firm!!

I have nothing but the highest praise and recommendation for Christina Hollwarth and her entire firm! She and her team successfully handled my divorce in a top notch manner. Christina provided excellent guidance in a time in life that was complicated, difficult and emotional. I was very pleased wi...th all outcomes. She is reasonable, smart, straight-forward, caring, family-oriented, professional and very talented. Her legal assistant, Gina, is wonderful as well. Look no further for an attorney with supporting firm that will work for your benefit.

Simple Divorce

I needed a simple divorce, and I needed representation that could take care of both parties to keep it simple. Ms. Hollwarth not only kept it simple, but in addition to that she was able to keep us informed, and make the overall process very simple. In this day and age it seems like good service ...is hard to find, and you have to almost be a professional to dig deep enough to find it anywhere. Ms. Hollwarth kept her word, was very friendly and courteous, and was able to get the process handled in a timely manner. Would I recommend Ms. Hollwarth as an attorney? Absolutely without reservation, and I would personally hire her again. Having dealt with attorneys in other very different circumstances, I feel like the most important thing to not about Ms. Hollwarth's practice is that she is local, very familiar with the local judges and courts, and able to ascertain whatever is needed to get the issue resolved quickly. Thanks!
