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.

The truth!

I thought about writing a review for Holly after I received a resolution on my case, but I decided it wouldn't change the quality of work that she has done or what I would write. Holly is an exceptional attorney, she's knowledgeable, responsive, listens, and genuinely cares. If I had to single out my... favorite trait of Holly's, I'd say it was her excellent communication. I've read numerous reviews of people complaining about poor communication from the attorneys they've hired. You won't have that issue if you decide to hire Holly. Any case with the court is stressful and not knowing where you stand is nerve-racking. I appreciate Holly for keeping me informed during this stressful time. Knowing that Holly has my back has made this process much easier and helped to reduce my anxiety. Holly has represented me at two hearings so far and let's just say she's undefeated right now. I am not trying get too cocky, but it feels like l am walking into a fight with Ali by my side every time I enter the courtroom.

Holly Hermon is great.

Knowledgeable. Understood my needs, no hassles, not pushy. Holly did not embarrass me as this was a divorce case. I feel very comfortable with her working style. She Got the job done professionally. Her team was great too, they guide me through the process. I strongly recommend her to represent ...legal cases.

Holly is the BEST

I hired Holly to help me in a Divorce which was sure to be difficult. Holly and her staff went out of their way to downplay the severity of bad news from the opposing counsel. Also when we had to make a trip to the courthouse she was concise, prepared and the judge ruled in are favor early on. Holly... is also particularly good with strategy which was helpful in my case. Holly made a very difficult time in my life much easier.
