Posted by Hannah | December 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Expungement

Attorney Green is by far the best. He was honest about my situation, told me exactly what he was going to do and told me exactly how long it was going to take to do it. Not only did attorney Green exceed my expectations but took care of my case in a short period of time. I was previously working w...ith another attorney to get my record expunged for 4 months before I met with Attorney Green. I understand that I had to wait until my probation period was over but even when it was over, the previous firm did not have everything ready. Within one week of meeting Attorney Green, and sending my case information, he got me a court date to get my record expunged. I would definitely recommend Attorney Green!! Thanks again for everything you have done!!

He Cares for everyone

Did you get a ticket? Please Talk to HOLDEN GREEN HOLDEN GREEN IS ONLY HERE TO HELP OTHERS IN NEED. Let me tell you how HOLDEN GREEN has been so very helpful to me. I am very very thankful to have met this person because he saved me. I was at a hearing at the Superior Court in Santa Clara for a red ...light citation that I had decided to challenge. Holden Green just so happened to be in the court room and saw me undergo the hearing. He knew right away that I had no clue what I doing challenging this citation and confronted me about this. Immediately he sat me down and guided me though the steps on how to avoid the serious repercussions of a red light ticket in court and gave me his contact info so that he could help me later on. He even gave me a call the night before the trial to make sure I was comfortable with his advice and ready to go to court. It was the simplest thing but it helped me so much. All I had to do was talk to the officer before the next court session began and negotiate an agreement on a non-point (non-point on driving record). The officer agreed to vehicle code 38300. DOING THIS SAVED ME $400 AND I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY POINTS ON MY DRIVING RECORD. He will also provide other very helpful information for the instance if the officer did not want to negotiate. If it was not for Holden Green I would not have felt comfortable or confident going through this whole process. Holden Green knows what he's doing so feel comfortable going to him for any citation you may receive. He is a very nice man and he and I will stress to you that he only wants to help people. One more thing HIS ADVICE IS FREE. My name is Christian and I approve and trust HOLDEN GREEN

His help was greatly appreciated

Holden has gone out of his way to help me when I was in a time of need. When I needed help he told me up front how he was going to help and did just so. Holden is very knowledgeable and sincere. He tells you like it is good or possibly not so good. He will do all within his power to get you proper ju...stice. He sticks up for the little guy who without representation would get stepped on by the judicial system. Holden comes from humble background giving him much more creditability than some rich kid who went to law school on daddy's money. You want a good lawyer,you found him.

GREAT ATTORNEY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Mr. Green was very professional and knowledge lawyer. He would always return my call promptly. My son was facing 2 felony charges and some jail time. Mr. Green was able to give us the results that we hoped for. Mr. Green used his high expertise and was able to drop 1 of my sons felony charges. Also ...Mr. Green and with the help of Manley's court my son did not have to do any more jail time. I will not hesitate to call him again, especially in 2 years when my son is able to have his felony expunged off his record. Thank you Mr.Holden Green.
