Amazing

I was so nervous about my adoption I knew somethings but Christina made all my nerves go away. I cannot thank her for all she did and her staff. When she took my case things fell into place and nothing got mishandled. It was a very peaceful process and recommend Christina for anything dealing with ch...ildren.

Posted by Christina | February 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Professional and Sincere

Our family needed an attorney to help us navigate shifting custody from parents to aunt/uncle. Mrs. Hollwarth and her staff were speedy, sincere, and highly effective communicators. I live 4,000 miles away from them but that was not a problem at all. Our family had a mutually agreed upon custody issu...e so there was not battle but her staff was sensitive to each person involved and accommodated the various issues of time. A year later, I found myself needing to take custody of my nephew and I didn't hesitate to use their services. She remembered our situation and provided the same excellent service. I find Mrs. Hollwarth to be extremely sincere and honorable. Although all my dealings with her were via phone or email, I know her to be compassionate and thorough in her services. Highly recommend

Compassion and Heart

Christina Hollwarth took our case to help us fight for our daughter. This process was long, exhausting and very emotional. Christina and her firm was not only there for us but she was there for our daughter and her best interest. Christina handled our case with dignity, love and class. Christina and ...her firm prepared us for each hearing. They took the time to be compassionate and professional. When Christina handles a case she gives her complete self. I have never felt so comfortable in putting my family's future in someone's hands. She is very thorough and I am amazed at the attention she gives to every detail. As we prepared for our hearings I will never forget the ease that fell over our hearts watching her fight for us in the courtroom. Although at times the fight seemed tough and we wanted the very best for our daughter... We always truly felt the compassion and care Christina had for our daughter. To have Christina Hollwarth fighting for you in your corner is like having the weight of the world lifted off your shoulders. She has a abundant amount of resources to help with your case. When our case became complicated she exhibited grace, compassion, and a trustworthy heart that made us feel at ease. Four years later we have our family complete because of Christina Hollwarth and her firm. I highly encourage you to take the time to visit with her when looking for help with what family troubles you are facing in your life. There are so many words we could use to describe our experience with the Hollwarth law firm but if we had to choose just one it would be COMPASSION! Thank you Hollwarth law firm for all the hard work and love you pour over the lives you touch.

Christina is an attorney that Will Put your kids best interest at heart!

I wish we lived in a world where childrens best interest could be kept out of the court system, but as in our case, sometimes it's a must. We hired Christina this past April and we could not have asked for a more hard working Attorney. This isn't just a job for her, Its her passion. Your case is just... as important to her as her others. She worked around the clock for us and stayed in touch along every step of the way. Being in court is a scary thing when your babies future is at stake, but with Christina by your side, She makes the process as easy as possible. I totally recommend her with any of your future custody needs. She loves your babies and works for what's best for them!

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.
