Excellent Divorce Lawyer - Oksana Holder at Scottsdale Family Law

I recently went through a difficult divorce and worked with Oksana Holder at Scottsdale Family Law. Oksana and her team were amazing from start to finish. Oksana knew family law inside and out. She was always prepared and handled my case with great skill and strategy. Oksana kept me informed ev...ery step of the way. She was always available to answer my questions and explained everything clearly. Without her expertise, I wouldn't have achieved such a favorable settlement. I highly recommend Oksana Holder and Scottsdale Family Law. If you need a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective divorce lawyer, Oksana is the one to choose.

You'll never find a better more compassionate lawyer anywhere - and her team is just as amazing! .

I know there is not enough room on this review to even begin to tell you how amazing Oksana is. I've been going through a very high conflict divorce/ custody battle that included domestic violence, parental alienation and custodial interference. My 1st lawyer that I hired had gotten sick and referre...d me to Oksana - that referral was the biggest blessing of my life. Oksana invest herself in her cases and you feel like you're her only client... sometimes I even forgot that I wasn't. She doesn't just work 9-5 she answers questions and helps basically 24/7 and she usually responds within minutes. Just recently my daughter was kept against court order for almost 50 days and it was the darkest time of my life - she fought hard for me and my kiddos and was able to do more than other lawyer was willing to do. She even gave me support during that time to help me calm my fears! She's never met my kiddos and she can tell you details about them that other's can't - she actually cares about the families she represents and you're not just another $$$ on her paycheck. I never have to remind her about details in my case - she knows it inside and out. When she walks into a court room I don't think other lawyer realize just who they're coming up against - she comes in and doesn't take anything from anyone. Every single one of my court hearings she has gotten almost exactly what we ask for if not more. She knows how to prepare a case to let the truth come out before the judge. She's respectful to even the other party in the case which says a lot about her. There isn't another lawyer that I would ever trust the way I do Oksana - I never fear that she'll let me hanging or not follow through on what she says she's going to do. The very best part of it is my ex absolutely hates her - which means she's doing the job she was hired for and not because she's rude to him or anything like that. it's simply because she can show easily that he's not telling the truth and playing games with the court. She calls him out not only during preparation for the case and the back and forth communication between parties but especially when she's cross examining him on the stand. Today is mother's day and if you would have asked me just 2 weeks ago - I would have told you that I wasn't going to have both my kids on Mother's Day this year because my daughter had not been returned home after parenting time with her dad in March. Today was the greatest Mother's Day I've ever had all thanks to Oksana my daughter was home with us. It was the greatest feeling of all to hear my daughter tell me Happy Mother's Day - I love you mom! And I also have to mention Dan her paralegal - he is just as amazing as Oksana and I believe that's why they make such an incredible team! Dan is on top of everything. No matter my questions that I have or help I need - he's right there to help me. The very best thing about him is he was at every single one of our in person court hearings and he sat on my side of the court room so I had support as my ex always brought an audience with him. Dan always sat where I could see him from the stand and he brings this amazing calming feeling to the room. I don't know what it is - but it helped me every time. I couldn't have done this without him as well. I should have wrote this review so long ago as Oksana has been with me through so much - but every steps makes me realizes even more how incredible she is. But the fact that so many people end up losing their kids to parental alienation and she was able to help get my daughter back before our relationship was destroyed by the other party completely shows the level of attention, hard work and time she's puts into her cases. Hiring Oksana and her team was the very best thing I could do for my kids and in the best interest of protecting them! And if I ever need her again or family and friends ever need anyone she will be the person I will contact. Oksana is amazing and you won't go wrong hiring her.

Seamless process start to finish

Oksana and Dan were both so compassionate, and competent. They made this process as easy as possible, and I felt very well taken care of and informed each step of the way. I was very pleased with the outcome and how quickly they were able to move everything along. Highly recommend!

A Lawyer who understands Father's Rights

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 can’t say thank you enough!

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 phy...sically 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).

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."

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."
