Outstanding family law attorney!

I hired Ms. Bartee based on a referral from a friend who highly recommended her. From my first call to schedule a consultation, I was impressed by her staff’s courtesy and sense of urgency to meet my needs. Ms. Bartee is honest, upfront and gives you the nitty gritty truth of the justice system and w...hat to expect. Ms. Bartee is very experienced with family law and is a seasoned attorney who leads with confidence and knowledge, which gives her great power and distinction in the court room. She guided me through every step of my divorce and was very level headed in the midst of a very emotional time for me. She is very fair with negotiations and will tell you up front if your expectations are unrealistic. She did a hands down phenomenal job on my case and advocated for my requests. I came out of what could have been a potentially devastating outcome, with victory. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome! I would definitely recommend Ms. Bartee if you’re ever faced with the unfortunate reality of divorce or any family law matter.

The Best of the Best

Holly has made such a difference for my family. With her experience and wealth of knowledge, she made the adoption of my son a reality. When my ex-husband and I were divorcing, Holly made it a smooth process and made sure that I stayed informed every step of the way. It was a relief to know that I h...ad someone on my side that could confidently navigate the legal system. Through the hardest times of my life, Holly was there to reassure and guide.

Highly recommended

First off, Holly was confident and highly knowledgeable in navigating her way through the system with her years of experience. She had total command throughout the whole trial and was trusted by the opposition's counsel. Above all, she listened to what goal I wanted to accomplish. She spoke to me i...n a language I can understand and explained the things I didn't. Holly knew her numbers very well and never got lost. She gave me valuable and sound advice. It may sound obvious but I've had other legal counsel that got lost during these proceedings. Most important, Holly kept in mind what the best interest that would serve my son and my ability to provide for him. I am pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Holly Bartee. I also recommend an initial consult to make sure she fits your legal needs.

Executional Excellence

Holly Bartee handled my divorce of 20 plus years and was excellent. I highly recommend her services, and have already done so. My divorce was complicated, and she was thorough, straight-forward and empathetic during a very emotional time. Holly is extremely knowledgeable, and explained every aspec...t of the process, as well as possible outcomes. I was informed every step of the way, and she worked quickly toward a resolution from the opposing party. Her execution was excellent, and we were well prepared at every step. Holly Bartee was my second lawyer. I am so glad I found her.

Difficult to keep on task, inefficient

It was often difficult to keep the divorce process in forward motion, as her communication style is abrasive and inflammatory. This is an emotional time for those of us who are in it, and her unwillingness to stay neutral and accept the desires of her client made this process more costly than it c...ould have been.

"Over the last 20+ years, I have been opposing counsel on several cases with Holly. Holly has always been extremely logical and persuasive in her legal arguments and a strong advocate for her clients. Holly is always prepared and she is very effective in the courtroom. Holly always remained professional even when we strongly disagreed on each other's positions. I highly respect Holly and have reached out to her many times for her suggestions and advice on difficult cases.
