child's best interest

I am very happy with my experience with Mr Holmes. I had a complicated case where the best interest of my child was questioned. Robert helped me through a very difficult time. I always felt he represented my case by focusing on what was most important.... My child.

Bringing Mr. Holmes into my Pending Child Support Case Was the Best Thing I Ever Did

I was referred to Mr. Holmes when my former spouse decided to get nasty and bring in DCFS to the case. My then-current attorney was the one who actually told me I had to hire Mr. Holmes because he was considered "the best" in the greater Los Angeles area. I gladly signed up and paid the retainer. ... I realize that no attorney can control the litigation or guarantee an outcome, and I was not expecting a miracle. And frankly, the conduct of my ex is what drove most of the litigation and the expense. But in the end, Mr. Holmes helped me craft a solution that made sense for myself, my ex, and our children. I always found Mr. Holmes to be available, incredibly knowledgeable, so very well respected by the judge in the our case, and unlike most attorneys I know, he did not "churn" the file. In fact at times, I felt like he did not bill me enough. I would hire him again if the need arose though I sure hope I never end up in family court ever again.

A dedicated professional

Robert was always up front with me and fought for my interests. He was instrumental in my divorce and child custody proceeding. I would certainly recommend him to anyone with a family law issue.

Credibility is critical in the courtroom and Robert Holmes leads the way!

Divorce is an unpleasant reality for many and I was a party in a ridiculous and litigious divorce case. Don’t make the mistake I initially made settling for mediocre legal representation. I worked in the legal field for over 15 years and still made the wrong choice initially until I met Mr. Holmes.... My ex is an attorney. I needed the best in the in the business. I will admit that there were times I didn't always agree with Mr. Holmes but I listened to him and trusted his advice. Now that the trial is over I’m so glad I did. It was evident at every hearing and certainly at trial how Mr. Holmes earned his excellent reputation as a respected litigator and trial attorney. If you are looking for an attorney that judges and other lawyers respect, call Robert Holmes. Although my case is not completely over, I would highly recommend him without hesitation.

5 star Attorney

I hired Mr. Holmes to handle my divorce nearly three years ago. My divorce was complicated and nasty. My ex and his new girlfriend tried to isolate me from my children, wanted money I didnt have and lied throughout the entire process. Mr. Holmes was so thorough, navigating every inlet with profess...ionalism and support. Because I had never been through a divorce (nor do I want to ever again), I had a lot of questions about the process, possible outcomes, etc. Mr. Holmes was there to answer all my questions and to provide me with some piece of mind. I liked that I could call anytime during business hours and was able to talk with an actual person, instead of someone's voice mail. Mr. Holmes knew how to handle all the various complications that arose and his years of experience showed both in his knowledge of the law as well as in the courtroom. In the end, Mr. Holmes was able to get me the time I deserved with my kids and my ex had to pay the alimony and child support I was owed. I have since recommended Mr. Holmes to a neighbor and a co-worker who both had very positive experiences as well. If you are looking for a responsible, experienced and professional attorney, Mr. Holmes would be my first and only pick.
