Review Oksana P Holder

Living My Second Best Life because of Oksana!!!!

5.0 stars

Posted by anonymous

When she says she will be there from the start to finish, she means it. Oksana never left me wondering what was happening with my case. I felt comfortable through my whole entire process. Trust her! She made me feel like I was her only client and I know I wasn't!! She went head to head with my narcissistic ex and never backed down. Literally knew what she was doing every step of the way. Oksana took care of this case and my children like they were her own. She had their best interest at all times while dealing with an extremely hard other party. Oksana goes above and beyond the call of duty of her job as a lawyer. Receiving emails on the weekends, at night, and even on holidays. Her communication is top notch. I know I wouldn't have been able to get through this without her. She also has the most AMAZING paralegal, Dan. They work so well together like two peas in a pod. Very personable and always avaliable. The outcome of my case exceeded my expectations and this is because of Oksana and Dan. I could never repay them for what they did for my children and me. Truly a blessing.

Oksana is an incredible attorney: she overdelivers on everything. She has your back. She’s one step ahead in the case at all times. I can’t tell you the amount of stress from which she saved me and the level of safety she created in the process. I felt heard, understood and supported 1000% of the time! There are many divorce attorneys, but with Oksana you get a partner in your case who’s winning for your future!

A Lawyer who understands Father's Rights

5.0 stars

I've consulted directly with Oksana and hired her for preliminary information needed for my child support case. Oksana is the only lawyer that I've been comfortable with in my entire process. She understands my rights as a father and how family court views fathers. What I appreciate most about Oksana is her responsiveness. It never mattered how many cases or trials she had in a day or if it was late at night, she always responded to any inquiry for me, and even if she didn't respond same day, it was the next day. I also appreciated her realistic approach to my case and the circumstances. She spoke to me in complete direct manner, but also both an understanding and respective manner in all of our interactions. What I've learned, as a father seeking custody, is that it is significantly important to get the right lawyer at the beginning of your case. Oksana is the best lawyer I've had when it comes to Father's Rights.

I’m a single father and after my ex fiancé and I separated, I soon realized I needed representation. I was extremely fearful and concerned going into the situation and Oksana and her staff immediately stepped in make sense of a complex situation. Her communication was clear and consistent, never did I wait around for a response or wonder where things were in the process. In a short period of time we were able to resolve everything through mediation and I personally felt I came out on top. Oksana’s relationships with the legal community is invaluable. Her knowledge of judges, mediators and opposing counsel was critical in the strategic process. Most importantly I got my kids back immediately after mediation and could not be happier. Oksana strategically fought for us every step of the way. I highly recommend.

Divorce is ugly and I truly can’t imagine having to go through this process with any other attorney but Oksana and her team. I had been married 24 years and the divorce was financially complicated and emotionally charged. I would get emails forwarded from opposing counsel and remember feeling physically ill. I would email Oksana in tears not understanding how my ex could be so awful. She responded as she ALWAYS did.. "I am not intimidated by their tactics "I can't tell you how many times I clung to those words throughout this process. I never doubted that she always had my best interest in every decision she made. She is truly an advocate and her style of advocacy is exactly what I needed. I don’t think I can express how thankful I am to have her and her team. (From my daughter who is away at school: Thank you for being there for my mom and being her voice when I couldn’t be there).

Many people wonder if it is worth the extra expense to hire an attorney or whether they could do it on their own. I pondered that for months thinking that my ex and I could just come to a swift and amicable agreement. I am a former military guy who listened to stories on how badly divorces went from fellow servicemen once they got into court. I was terrified about what was about to ensue. She forced my hand when she hired an attorney without my knowledge and I received documents that might as well have been written in a different language. I hired Oksana immediately after hearing a great recommendation and also talking to her and explaining my situation. That decision changed my life in the best way possible. My marriage was ending with children and a good amount of assets involved. Juggling extra work due to manning shortages from Covid, coordinating time that I could be with my children, selling a house, and moving kept me pretty busy. There was no way I could take on the additional task of learning family law and preparing for court. Oksana took my case and hit the ground running. She is a genius at what she does. She is very organized and crunched the numbers and produced spreadsheets outlining various scenarios in preparation for mediation. She kept in constant contact with me and was very quick to answer any questions or concerns that I had. She put my mind at ease so I could focus on everything else. Going through a divorce is emotionally devastating. It’s difficult to think clearly most of the time. She kept me grounded and opened my eyes to reality. She found things to help my case that I would have never thought of. When the time came for mediation, she fought for me as if it were her own livelihood on the line. The outcome was better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Frankly, I was a bit skeptical and somewhat guarded when interacting with attorneys. That is, until I worked with Oksana and her team and realized what great could look like. I originally arranged a consultation, which were mostly a series of 'screened interviews', which included two other referrals plus Oksana, who I found online). Within the first 5 minutes of discussing my case with Oksana, I knew she was the one-mostly given the overall sense of competence she exuded, coupled with her sound council and 'straight forward-client centric-consultative approach'. Equally as important to me was the underlying feeling of caring, compassion and importance I felt along the way. I always felt like a priority, even though I was by no means the 'largest biller'. Oksana also educated me on the legal process, challenged me when needed, and offered up different perspectives and things to consider that weren't on my radar. Did I mention how accessible and responsive she and her team are?? Seriously, I don't know how she does it or when she sleeps. Her passion for her work is obvious. Do yourself a favor and call her.

I am guy and interviewed three attorneys and finally settled on her. In short I can tell you that she is amazing attorney with many traits which will help your case like great negotiator, to the point, know her subject very well, know most of the attorney in Phoenix, reachable and always few steps ahead of you and other attorney and don't mind to travel extra on any thing. In addition she is very careful about how your money will be spend and give you upfront visibility. To be honest I can recommend her with out having any second thoughts.....

Oksana is the Russian Blonde Bulldog you want in your corner. Absolutely no doubt she was sent by God to help me combat my narcissistic ex husband. Oksana will give it to you straight. She will not coddle you or placate, she is real and raw and will give you 100% of her whole self to see you succeed! She was referred to me by a close friend who was also dealing with an irrational ex husband. I left her office feeling confident after our consult and I knew she was the one who I needed behind me!!! We won our case and I will always recommend her to anyone seeking help as long as she is practicing. If you want a genuine, real person with passion, she's your lawyer!!! I'm so grateful!

I know what it feels like to need help, to hope you can find someone you can trust, to have someone on your side to be your voice during a painful time in your life. During a very challenging time in my life, Oksana provided outstanding dedication, legal knowledge and expertise when she decided to take on my case. I found Oksana because the previous counsel on my case needed to withdraw, for personal reasons, two weeks prior to my trial. I was beyond emotional, stressed and felt defeated. I had to quickly move forward and knew the moment I met with Oksana she was the one. She is in every sense strong, wise and takes great pride in her work. My case was going on 2 years but that did not stop Oksana from giving everything she had to my case. Her attention to detail and dedication to helping me and my son was such a pure blessing. Oksana guided me through a messy, tough process and was able to explain to me the steps and was compassionate and kind in her delivery. Oksana is professional, firm and organized during trial. There are very few people in life you will come across and truly believe your lives crossed paths for a reason. I immediately knew it...she honestly saved me. I promise, you will never find someone as dedicated to your case or as wise in their approach as Oksana Holder. The process of divorce and child custody is extremely tough. It is extremely emotional. Having the right counsel who is on your side, one who communicates effectively, honors your wishes respectfully but also will guide you to understand the process, presents themselves as quiet but stealth like, organized and most importantly has a kind heart. Oksana was my angel when I was going to give up, she didn’t give up on me, she choose to fight and did it with grace and integrity.

Tracey Van Wickler, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 4, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Oksana and I worked together on a very contentious matter that involved a number of complex legal and emotional issues. Oksana was knowledgeable, thorough and well reasoned. Oksana was also easy to work with and we were able to settle the matter outside of court. I highly recommend Oksana.

Aaron Blase, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 9, 2018
Relationship: Co-worker

Oksana is a very talented family law attorney, with an excellent reputation in the legal community. She is a strong advocate for her clients, and a very knowledgeable and a persuasive litigator. She serves all her clients extremely well. I recommend her highly.

Greg Davis, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 30, 2018

James Schmillen, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 30, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Oksana is an excellent attorney that will serve as a great advocate for her client. She is hard working and meticulous in her legal analysis.

Ronald Kossack, Divorce and separation Attorney on Aug 15, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Oksana is an outstanding lawyer and I do not hesitate to recommend her. She is aggressive when she needs to be and unbelievably thorough. She is an adept advocate for her clients and very proficient in court but she also understands the importance of settlement when necessary. She is excellent at analyzing complex issues and also the finances of divorce and family law. I believe she is one of the rising stars in family law. I give her my highest recommendation.

Fred Ruotolo, Family Attorney on Aug 2, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Oksana has experience and knowledge greatly beyond her years of practice. I had a divorce case with Oksana that involved numerous complex assets. When a case involves complex assets there is always the risk of the other lawyer not understanding the assets which complicates and drags out the case. However, it was due to Oksana's quick understanding of the assets that led to a quick and friendly settlement for the parties. This saved both clients money, emotion, and time. Oksana has the technical skills, litigation skills, and settlement skills to handle complex family law cases. I would willingly refer people to Oksana for their family law matters. I highly endorse her.
