reckless and no accountability

I hired Holly to represent me in a dvpo matter involving harassment, stalking and tracking device by my ex spouse and custody modification and spousal maintenance. Holly manipulated me and gaslighted me to believe that she was fighting for me and my minor children. She defrauded me and did not adv...ocate for me and sabotaged my case. In fact she colluded with opposing counsel and dragged my case and minor children thru false allegations motions and defaulted my case, missed court deadlines and committed fraud legal malpractice. Made me believe she submitted responses to motions when she did not. She took my case recklessly to default , showed up late and failed to communicate important matters in my case. Also failed to present orders, and violations by the other party Im in extreme hardship by her actions. I do not recommend her to anyone.

Ghosted after collecting information

I had very poor experience with Holly. After the first wonderful meeting over the phone she sent me forms to fill to gather all the details to the case. I sent her all the filled forms with ton of personal and financial information as requested in the forms. She completely ghosted me after that. No m...ore email response or response to texts both of which she used to respond to earlier. I found myself cheated and personal information compromised.

The Best of the Best

Both myself and my fiancé had the opportunity to work with Holly on child support orders. I have worked with multiple lawyers over the years and Holly has been the best thus far. Holly is extremely well spoken, responsive, fast and highly efficient. Holly is an incredible writer and presents you...r case in the most compelling, data driven way. Further, she is top notch in trial! Holly comes across as clear, firm, and articulate. Holly exceeded my expectations on every front, she is the best you can hire! I highly recommend her to anyone I know looking for a lawyer.

Fantastic!

Holly is an amazing attorney. I hired her after my temporary hearing and she made herself very familiar with my case. I was very stressed and depressed about my case, then the moment I consulted with Holly she gave me a great sense of confidence because she familiarizes herself very well with the cas...e, communicates, listens, and knows the law very well. She seems to ACTUALLY care, and is just an all around ethical, professional, knowledgeable, hard working, tentative, appealing and nice person. I would absolutely suggest Holly!

Excellent Review for Holly Hermon

Holly has been my attorney for a very contentious divorce with a severely narcissistic husband of 34 years. She knows the law very well, is very well versed in her briefs which are concise, to the point, and well-proven. She is professional and does not state opinions or untruths to deflect from t...he case. She is well- mannered in her dealings with other attorneys. She understands the narcissistic personally well and knows how to deal with difficult people. She constantly works hard even on weekends. She listened to my thoughts and has regularly used my thoughts in her defense briefs. My ex stopped paying my order spousal support and she has helped me thru this post-divorce problem. I have very little to no money, so she has figured out ways to reduce my attorney costs or successfully get the court to order my ex husband to pay. I would not want her job in a million years, but she handles it well.
