The exact lawyer YOU need

I hired Hillary and she is the exact lawyer I needed and will use in the future. Hillary is definitely experienced and knows what she is doing. When in the court room she is very prepared and professional and knows exactly what to say. Hillary and Renee (her assistant) are very good at communicating.... You will not be disappointed I have had a very difficult case but Hillary is very experienced and she knew how to deal with it. I will definitely use her in the future!

The best lawyer for high conflict divorce there is!

Hillary was recommended to me when my divorce became too complex and high conflict. Hillary was professional, understanding and amazing at all of our hearings and then at our trial. She is incredibly smart and knows the ins and outs of the law, is always prepared, and pays great attention to detail...s. She is a warrior who fought hard for me and my kids and I would highly recommend her as being the best and was able to work miracles for us!

The best at staying true for her client!!

Hillary did an amazing job for me. My ex and his lawyer were throwing every curveball imaginable to disrupt, disarm and cause harm to my fragile state of emotional and financial ruin of a left over marriage. Hillary took over after I had to fire my previous lawyer who ran up the bill by responding to... every outrageous thing my ex and his lawyer could dream up. I was living in a nightmare and Hillary came to the rescue. She picked up the pieces quickly and supported me as best as she could. She did not overcharge and indeed helped me to save money by letting me know that we didn't have to respond to every little crisis the other team was dreaming up. In the end I was lucky to have walked away with some of things from my nineteen year marriage. I should have hired Hillary from the beginning. She is incredibly smart, thinks on her feet and is supportive of her clients. We had a hard time at court and Hillary admitted it but it was through no fault of her own. She worked wonders at having my best friend and mother dismissed as his witnesses on the stand and I am forever grateful to her that she fought for my right to return to school to continue an education so that I could support myself after 19 years as a stay at home parent. From what I know now my case was very hard and messy but Hillary championed me through it with ongoing optimism. Thank you Hillary. Anyone who reads this needs to know that she and Renee her assistant really will have your best interest at heart and will work hard to help you no matter what gets thrown their way.

Non Amicable Divorce

Unfortunately my divorce was less than amicable. I started with a different attorney and at my initial divorce hearing I was the one ordered out of the family home and ordered to pay full child support with 50/50 custody. I'm not saying it was my previous attorney's fault I was ordered to move out an...d pay child support, but that is what was handed to Hillary to help me with. She is very smart and worked very hard to build our case. I found the wheels of justice move very slow, but it was a slow steady process with Hillary. After 3 court dates Hillary was able to get my temporary orders (me being ordered out of the family home, 50/50 custody and me paying full child support) reversed. In the final court case (just over 7 months after the original temporary orders were given) I was granted full custody of my kids, my ex was ordered to pay me child support, and I was granted to be able to move back in the family home. It was absolutely AMAZING! I cannot thank Hillary and Renee enough. They worked so hard and put a lot into this case to help me. I feel beyond blessed for what Hillary did for my little family.

INCREDIBLE

I interviewed twelve lawyers before I picked Ms. Holmes to represent me. The quality of questions she asked and how quickly she understood my situation was way beyond any of them. I researched her too and she graduated with honors and continues to serve on committee's throughout WA that represent wom...en. She has stood by me the past six years whenever my ex tried to intimidate me further. She is precise, intelligent and factual in all her responses and my bills were very low as he had to pay most of them. I cannot recommend her enough. Her staff is also very caring and thorough. You will be in good hands if you are a woman going through a divorce with someone you spent a lifetime with and they want to walk away with no regards. They will learn quickly intimidation has no power with Ms. Holmes and her staff. Do yourself a favor and look no further.
