Mr Green was the best decision I made

Mr. Green did an amazing job with my case. I highly recommend him. He is punctual, he will call you right back, he does exactly what he says he’s going to do and he always follows through. He is also very compassionate. He always makes you feel like it’s gonna be OK and you’re going to get throug...h this and if you’re in court, that’s what you need. He listens and he really goes to bat for his clients in the court room. Once he’s been provoked and he feels that you have not been treated fairly, he can be a real lion. He fights for you and he fights hard. Again, Mr. Green is amazing and I highly recommend him If you want to hire a man with experience and a passion for what he does call Mr. Green he’s the best.

HE IS A LIFE SAVOR! Thank you Mr. Green for everything!!!

Mr. Green took on our case after our last attorney completely screwed us! He is affordable and works hands on with whatever we needed. He was never late and always answered any concerns we had in a drop of a hat! He is by far the best attorney out there. He even got a better outcome then we thought w...e where going to get from the DA & JUDGE! He didn't settle for a Felony or MISDEMEANOR from the judge!!! HE GOT US A DISTURBING THE PEACE!!!! HE LITERALLY SAVED OUR LIFE FROM A LOT OF PAIN!!!! We hired him in January and the case was closed just a few short months later! Thank you MR. Green for everything you did for us!!!!!!! Love your now, forever friends Mel & Mike.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
