Practice Areas

Child Custody 76%

The majority of my practice centers on the custody and support of children. In actuality, only six percent of my current cases do not concern any minor child, but sometimes child support or domestic violence is the salient issue rather than custody.

13 years

76%
Child Support 10%

Sometimes child support is determined outside of a custody or divorce case through the Department of Family Services in a separate program instituted as part of welfare reform and run by the local district attorney's office.

13 years

10%
Divorce and Separation 4%

This percentage only reflects those divorces in which child custody, domestic violence and child support are not at issue.

Terrible lawyer

Helped my child custody & support case in the very beginning but in the middle he turned into a monster! I was ignored constantly and he refused to complete preparation for trial after having me sign a fee agreement for it. He did not have my best interests at all in the end and while I did not agree..., he applied extreme pressure for me to settle instead of him just backing out of my case.

Terrible choice!

Hired john for my custody trial and he literally didnt take time to prepare for it. Refused to file and motions. Didnt show up twice for our meetings. I had to file a grievance with the state bar. Fired him and he refuses to give me my files! This person wont even file his motion to withdraw as counc...il even after the judge ordered him too...didnt do anything but hurt my case...

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Holiday assisted me on cases over the years, particularly when I needed a bilingual lawyer to explain matters to my Hispanic clients in family court in a way that I could trust the information would be accurate. I have seen him mature as a legal mind from his first year in law school to the present day a decade later and know him to be a competent advocate with worldly experience. He’s a veteran, strong in his conviction, and tough in the legal arena. El Sr. Holiday me ayudó en casos a lo largo de los años, particularmente cuando yo necesitaba un abogado bilingüe para explicar los asuntos a mi cliente hispano en la corte de familia de una manera que pudiera confiar en que la información sería precisa. Lo he visto madurar como una mente legal desde su primer año en la facultad de derecho hasta la actualidad, una década después, y sé que es un defensor competente con experiencia mundana. Es un veterano, fuerte en su convicción y duro en el ámbito legal."
