This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Saved me from over $350,000 in debt

After my wife died, I was left with $400,000 in debts, plus collection agency letters and phone calls. I was convinced that I had to pay these debts or lose everything. I contacted several lawyers in my state that turned down my case. While visiting Washington, Attorney Stanton briefly reviewed my... case, and assured me that there was a way to handle my situation. Since I don't live in Washington, she referred me to an attorney in my home state who was an expert in my type of situation and who settled my case for about ten cents on the dollar. I was very impressed that Attorney Stanton helped me out of this situation that seemed like I would lose all my retirement funds, and recommend her to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Excellent Representation

I found Attorney Stanton to be very knowledgeable and she provided sound advice. I hired her for one matter and after helping achieve the results I was after (maintaining pension benefits) I hired her again for another matter. In both matters, her service was excellent, and she was always quick to ...return my calls and answer my questions. She was prepared and did everything that she said that she would in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Holly as a trustworthy, aggressive, smart, motivated, and savvy attorney. She saved my career and protected my future employment. She made it possible for me to prevail in a situation against a very aggressive attempt to ruin my life.

Two years of frustraion

I chose Holly Stanton after a brief discussion. She appeared to have a solid understanding and approach to dealing with divorce. I must say it has been an extremely frustrating two (2) years settling a divorce which was relatively close to agreement by both parties. These are some of the situation...s I encountered. I had a difficult time reaching Holly by phone and messages left rarely generated a response. When we met in person, most of the meeting was spent “refreshing” her memory. Meetings were always cut short due to Ms Stanton’s child care issues yet I was charged a full hour each time. Meetings were cancelled after arriving because needed information was not available. Filling for Child support was never completed after multiple requests to do so. This caused a major financial hardship as my former spouse twice arbitrarily chose to reduce child support by hundreds of dollars we had agreed upon. The divorce was finally concluded after contacting the opposing side’s attorney and speaking directly. I would definitely not suggest hiring Holly Stanton as counsel.
