Excellent Lawyer

If you want an expert that handles everything and fights for you-Robert Holmes is your best option. He was recommended highly by several lawyers that I knew and I was not disappointed. He is the lawyer that other lawyers want representing them. He knows the law and also knows how to get results. I w...as very nervous about going to court with my ex. He put me at ease and provided excellent council. I am no longer afraid of court or intimidated by the legal process. He is a tough lawyer and he did not let me get pushed around by my ex-which I needed and appreciated. I am pleased with the outcome of my case. My daughter has a great schedule and my ex is finally paying child support. Things are amicable between us but there is no more grey area. Ultimately his work has helped to lay the groundwork for my daughter to have a productive life. I am extremely grateful for his experience, efforts, and assistance in my time of need. I would strongly recommend him to anyone that needed a good family court lawyer.

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.

A Trustworthy Family Law Lawyer

I started working with Robert in May 2012 when I filed for legal separation from my spouse. Robert sat with me and clearly outlined my rights along with my children's father's rights. He's ethical and looks out for the best interest of the children involved along with the best interest of his clien...t. I trust him completely. I recently took my ex-spouse to court, and I was impressed with Robert's knowledge and expertise. I will continue to use Robert for legal advice and other Family Law business that may arise in the future. I strongly recommend Robert Holmes.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
