Exactly what I needed

I hired Brian for my divorce. It was a complex contested case including getting agreement on a parenting plan/custody of my daughter. Brian was responsive in any communication. He always provided the right level of detail along the way. He discussed the scenarios and options so that I totally under...stood the decisions I had to make. He kept me confident through the process. He was extremely fair and balanced and was neither too aggressive or too soft. Brian, where needed, also helped me in the toughest parts of this process by being a great human. He reminded me of the brighter sides of the dark days. I have already, unfortunately for my friends, referred him to three other people as I strongly recommend him based on my experience.

Do Not Recommend

He constantly told us to trust him. Almost every time we asked a question, he would say I do this day in and day out, you have to trust me. He asked for more money to go to court, and dragged his feet and we never went to court. He asked for the same documents on multiple occasions, saying i...t would just be easier if we sent it again... and of course charging us again. He missed or didn't review all of the documents provided to him. He would say he'll forward us the document and he'll make time to review it later. He never had input though, only discussed what we brought up. He knowingly allowed documents with mistakes. He is easily led by opposing counsel if they have more experience. When we mentioned firing him, he said we couldn't, and submitted a notice of withdrawal to the court.

Great family attorney

Mr. Holden is an amazing attorney, my husband fought for 8 years just to be able to see let alone talk to his son. In just 2 months we obtained custody of his son with no further problems. Thank you so much for completing our family

Craig

Brian is fantastic! Having had to deal with numerous issues regarding my past divorce and my children, Brian has been honest and forthright with his advice and service. I count myself extremely fortunate having had him in my corner. Although an unfortunate reality, I will likely need his help in t...he future but having Brian to guide me through these issues eases my mind. I highly recommend this gentleman.

Parenting Plan

Brian has been an amazing attorney from the moment we first spoke. I went into do a parenting plan on my own with out an attorney and I lost. After hiring Brian I was nothing but honest about everything and he was honest with me. I hired Brian because he understood me and new exactly what we needed t...o do. He showed alot of faith in himself and my case. He assured me he can and would do what it takes to help me bring this case to an end with out it going to trial. He did just that! Brian always answered my calls an emails in a timely manner. Any time I called he was quick to answer or call me back. This was my first time having to hire an attorney and I'm very happy I had Brian as my first attorney (and hopefully last). I am very pleased with the service I received. Thank you Brian for all your help! If I ever need an attorney in the future I know exactly who I am calling.

"I have been working with Brian for a couple of years now, and am immensely impressed with how quickly he's been able to learn family law. He's handled dozens and dozens of cases for me now, and clients frequently remark on his friendliness, compassion, and relatability. He's done such good work for me, in fact, that I brought him on as a member of our PLLC and sold a portion of my business to him. He's a truly outstanding attorney who treats every client with respect and decency. You would be hard pressed to find a better lawyer."
