Best of the BEST

If you are looking for a family law lawyer, Oksana is the best of the best. She goes above and beyond for her clients and truly had both my son and I's best interest at hand. The professionalism Oksana exuded throughout the whole process was top notch and her attention to detail gave me complete ...peace of mind that everything was being done right and taken care of. She goes above and beyond to work for you but more importantly, WITH you.

Posted by Valeria | April 27, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Marriage & Prenuptials

Very thankful to Oksana!

My name is Valeria.Oksana had been following me on the case of "Prenaptual agreement". I'm new in Arizona.Everything happened so fast to me.I came to visit my boyfriend for Christmas holidays and he asked me to marry him.I was very surprised,but happy!My future husband also wanted me to sign the Pren...aptual agreement before we would get married.It was my first experience and a big surprise too!In my country we don't sugn this documents.I'm from Italy.He gave me the draft of the agreement.I've read it 3 times by myself and I didn't understand the meaning very well.The draft of the Document had been written by my fiance's attorney.The legal language has a unique complex structure.It's hard to understand legal documents properly without having the right knowledge.The idea itself about the agreement didn't make me feel comfortable.It was difficult for me psycologically to accept and understand the situation. I didn't see any sense on signing the "Prenaptual agreement".How you can marry the person you love, who already has his doubts about our relationship in the future!?That's how my vision used to be,before I met my lawyer... Oksana was advised to me by another attorney office,as a Family law lawyer who does speak several languages and is specialized in Prenaptual agreement's.I'm very happy,that I've met Oksana!!!She helped me so much!I was amazed by her knowledge on the matter.She was so careful about any little thing.On our first appointment,Oksana had carefully revised my prenaptual agreement and clarified,that it was not fair to me to sign it,as it was written.She explained to me step by step all advantages and disadvantages.She also explained to me,that it was normal in United States to sign the agreement before getting married and if we would change various points,it would protect also my interests,as a woman,for the future too.She said,that it was important to think not only about "today",but also about "tomorrow"(10-20 years from now).Oksana is bright,attentive and knowledgeble.Those qualities are so important in her profession.From my personal experience,I had learned,that any little detail written in the legal document can SO SIGNIFICALLY change the meaning of the MATTER.The words can have one meaning for us- clients,but really the legal word's meaning can result opposite.It's very important,that your attorney has a deep understanding of any word and phrase.Oksana had found several "double meanings" and "play on words" in the text, while she had been working on my agreement.She talked to the lawyer of my fiancé regarding some points in the text and he promised to take them out.After,the lawyer of my husband used to take words from one point and put them on the other sheet with a new legal word's structure,but the same meaning (against my interests).Oksana still was able to find and understand the "false correction". She was amazing! Her strategy is to protect her client from the trouble in the future.She does it with all her passion and care.Oksana had been working on my case several weeks, trying to find the right compromise beetween me and my future husband.It was not easy.He had his lawyer too and they didn't agree on everything.Oksana didn't put any limitations on my communication to her.She was available all the time.I could call her any time and she was happy to talk to me and to listen to my ideas and changings.She called me in the evening for to explain her changings.Her and me together were able to change,delete and add several important points in my document.It was a wonderful natural flaut of relationship!!!She had been explaining to me any concerns and questions.I felt,that Oksana was giving herself to my case with all her heart and soul.She did her best for me,as her client.She gave to me her attention,care,as almost she was a part from my family.It's not easy to find many high leveled professional who will work about your case with such an individual care.Oksana has a great knowledge and experience!!!

Highly Recommend Oksana Holder

At the onset of my divorce it occurred to me this is the most significant event of my life going forward and doing it the best way possible would have long-lasting effects. Therefore, having the best possible divorce attorney is of enormous importance and Oksana Holder clearly fulfilled that require...ment for me. Oksana brought about the most advantageous divorce settlement I could have hoped for and handled my divorce as my partner and my rock, quite frankly. She is dedicated and relentless, meets all deadlines, and is available to her client at all times. She was patient yet focused and firm when required and kept the process moving along with her divorce law knowledge, her savvy, her take-charge (and no-nonsense) attitude and took the lead which gave us the advantage that ultimately led to my settlement with minimal changes. Noteworthy too is that Oksana’s Legal Assistants Denise Young and Cam Mitchell were prompt and supportive during the process contributing to the positive outcome as well. Divorce is a hurtful disappointment in so many ways during which Oksana showed compassion and kindness, yet resolve, and performed her business with expertise and professionalism doing it the right way at all times. I am very grateful to Oksana Holder and highly recommend her.

Oksana

I had a very complex divorce and Oksana was right there in the trenches fighting detail by detail. Most lawyers pawn work off on their paralegal, BUT Oksana is not afraid to dive in and get the work done herself. This results in a better quality product. She is VERY fair with her billing. Easy to wo...rk with, very knowledgeable, I would recommend her for your family law matter.

Why you should choose Oksana P. Holder to represent you.

Dedicated, Realistic, Dependable, Efficient and Unwavering. These are just a few adjectives I would use to express the characteristics of Oksana. I have never had to hire any legal counsel nor thought that I would have to at any part in my life. This was all new to me. However; after an extreme num...ber of days not seeing my son I realized that I was going to have to reach out for help with what I was not able to accomplish on my own. Oksana, with her legal guidance and support, was the help I needed. Oksana listened to me from the initial consultation and never once stopped. Oksana hit the ground running and instantly began producing results and getting answers to questions I could never get. Oksana is and was exceptional with gathering important information and analyzing the pure facts. She vetted and verified every side of every piece of information. I felt like she was always one step ahead of opposing counsel and her preparedness was impressive. Oksana was realistic in every way of explaining my case and the steps ahead. I am not a perfect person and she had no problem letting me know that and never once did she try and hide or cover it up. She truthfully portrayed me as a person, as a father and fought fairly on my behalf through all the outlandish accusations being made by the opposing counsel. The Integrity and professionalism of Oksana was contagious and helped with providing me strength in a grueling process. Oksana isn’t just a one woman band, she has, as far as I am concerned, the best paralegal in Arizona. Denise Young and Oksana Holder create a team and have a bond that won’t quit for anyone. There was never a moment I wasn’t able to talk or get a response from either of them with actual information and or advice on my case. The efficiency between them both far exceeds anything I have seen ever in my life. Their consistent communication made it very comfortable to talk to either of them at anytime. Denise assisted and followed through on all my appointments and ensured I met every deadline. Together, they made sure I was always current and in the loop on all aspects of my case. Together, they went above and beyond to make sure I was involved in my case. Neither of them “held my hand” or made false promises, but instead motivated me, held me accountable and educated me on the process. I challenge anyone reading this to find a better team. During my several months with Oksana, I always felt as if I was her only case and client. I was always comfortable as a client feeling like the highest priority even though I knew she was juggling multiple cases and clients. In my time of struggle and being unaware of what the future would hold, I knew that I had Oksana as my rock. She instantly became someone I could rely on and trust. Oksana was extremely influential and made herself available to me to discuss all information related to my case. Oksana became a life coach of sorts to me as well and knew when to discuss and talk about issues in my life not directly related to my case. Oksana has been extremely influential in my life as I witnessed her high level of professionalism day to day while dealing with my case as she stayed strong and Involved. She was able to handle and address the low blows and mud slinging that often occurs towards clients in custody cases with poise, dignity, and facts. She showed and proved to me that by standing strong and believing in myself I could accomplish more and properly show who I am as a person and most importantly as a father. I could go on and on about Oksana, as well as Denise, but I hope you get my point. I assure you that if you are at the point that you can’t move forward anymore on your own, if you believe in yourself and your ability to parent but someone else says otherwise, if you are willing to open your life up and ask for help, then Oksana Holder is who you need to sit down and share your story with. You won't regret it.

Family lawyer | Aug 02

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."
