Smooth Operation

We found Attorney Holmes to be very professional, thorough and knowledgeable in her procedures, yet warm, and approachable. She carefully explained each step, answering questions, and that very patiently, throughout the process. Her manor created an atmosphere of calm. The process we approached with ...much chagrin was in fact an enjoyable experience for which we're truly appreciative of.

First experience with an attorney

This was my first experience with an attorney and I must say it was very pleasant. I needed some paperwork done and didn’t know where to start and was referred to Lakesha. She took time and explained what needed to take place and got right on it. She informs you of the process every step of the wa...y. Lakesha is very professional and pleasurable. Her response time was impeccable, no matter what the question was or time of night I submitted the question I received a response within hours. Lakesha has been heaven sent. I HIGHLY recommend her for your legal needs.

Excellent Service in an Unfortunate Time

I live in another state than my Mother who passed away in Texas. I was frantic, uncertain of the Texas State laws and how to proceed going forward. Ms. Holmes met with me and my family and walked us through the entire Probate process. She was always professional, led with understanding, and was ava...ilable to answer any questions I had and responded in a timely manner. I never felt alone in the Probate and I am extremely thankful for her services.

Personal Case

Attorney Lakesha Holmes helped me with a personal case which is something that she doesn't handle, but she took the time to look up the correct information and draw up the paperwork for my case. Couldn't have done it without her.

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.
