Frustrating Experience

One of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had as a paying customer. I’m not sure why my experience was so different than other reviewers. Communication was pulling teeth from start to finish. My emails, texts and calls took multiple reminders to get a response. I don’t expect a response in hour...s or even a couple days, but even a “we’ll get back to you in X time” would have been appreciated. Weeks would go by with no updates. Everything was so unorganized. I had my appointed lawyer switched and I didn’t find out till I had to text the first guy a couple of times. I only spoke on the phone to my given lawyer once and never met anyone in person. Then his phone was disconnected with no notice. I did get what I needed in a boundary line agreement. However, there were some errors I had to correct, one being that a trustee had been deceased since 2006. The worst though, was that the lot number was wrong because it was copied and pasted from mine. I didn’t notice this until after it was submitted with the county clerk. I’ve been waiting on my retainer to be refunded for months ago. Tommy himself said he’d handle it today, but it’s been another let down. They won’t answer my calls or return my voicemails. I’ll be happy to update this if and when I get it. Nothing has been pleasant about this experience. My issue may be small in the grand scheme of things, but it was important to get done. A paying client, especially on a retainer, deserves to be treated more professionally. This ordeal has made an already stressful situation way more stressful. Look elsewhere.

Excellent service

Tommy and his team did a fantastic job assisting with my contract negotiation. They are extremely efficient with an eye for details. Excellent communication and personal attention during the entire process. I highly recommend the Holmes Law team!

Amazing Work

After contacting Mr. Holmes for a consultation, I hired him to represent me for a deal. His firm got working on my transaction to help move it along as quickly as possible, while also performing a high level of diligence in the work performed. I could not have been happier with the results.

VP

Worked w Mr. Holmes on a handful of o&g deals and on top of being incredibly knowledgeable, he was deligent, responsive and transparent. His understanding of the intricacies in the oil patch was beyond helpful when structuring lease acquisitions. In addition, he treated each assignment like it was hi...s most important one - something not often found. I’d recommend him to anyone in need of a talented attorney.

Highly Recommend

Tommy has done work for me both personally and for my businesses. He has handled formation of several new entities and a few contract negotiations. Tommy has also handled several “disagreeable” employee departures. Personally, he has taken care of a will and some deed related work. Tommy is a and... very personable and knowledgeable attorney. He is there when you need him and quick to action. I would highly recommend.
