Mr

Alan was a pleasure to work with and provided excellent results. He was able to get my Past due customer account settled even after others told me it was a lost cause.

Quick response, informative

Thank you Alan. I reached out with a situation and Alan responded quickly. Although he was unable to be retained, he was most helpful with his well-thought out and thorough response, informing me with accurate information about both options and clarity of barriers, as well as what this could cost sho...uld I pursue which would only be a detriment. I very much appreciated the honesty and guidance so I could make the most informed and wise choice for myself.

Highly Recommend!

Alan is a wealth of knowledge and he has given my family invaluable legal help over the years. Among other things, he advised me on business formation and gave me business-related legal advice that made the process of starting my own business so much easier. Alan is a true professional and will alway...s be our first choice for an attorney.

Very Professional

Worked with Alan on a case together. Found him to be very attentive and go above and beyond for the case at hand. Pursued all avenues he could and felt the case was in good hands. Would recommend.

White Knight Collection Experience

I hired Mr. Holcomb to help me collect $13,000+ from two attorneys that my firm had worked for in March of this year (2019). Both attorneys resided out of state and both of them told me that the other owed the money. After 5-1/2 months of constant emails and phone calls for payment, in desperation,... I discounted the bill by a third and gave a final demand for approximately $9000 to be paid by both attorneys in four equal payments. I gave them 10 days to accept my offer. One attorney responded the very day he received my email but he wanted a release for half; his co-counsel did not respond. Because only one attorney responded, I called my prior collection attorney who advised me to take half and be glad that I got that much. As I could foresee that I was not going to get this debt collected, even with a discount and even with a more than generous payment plan, and because my other collection attorney was not offering any hope of collecting this debt without throwing a lot of good money after bad, I decided I needed a second legal opinion. I initially chose Mr. Holcomb because he had great Internet reviews from others who had hired him. My own experience was even better than I had hoped for: Mr. Holcomb reviewed the facts of my situation, asking for pertinent documentation, which I sent him and he reviewed. After the review, he called me and said to wait for the 10 days of my settlement offer to expire and offered to take on my "difficult" case for a flat fee, telling me, in effect, that his experience told him he'd have my money in three days. I told him to "be prepared to be ignored." The day after my settlement offer expired, the second attorney wrote an email saying that she was prepared to accept my offer, but told me that I needed to wait until she got back from vacation a week later. My timeline and payment terms for payment, apparently, were irrelevant to her. On Monday morning, I sent over my flat fee to Mr. Holcomb. By Monday afternoon, he drafted the complaint and sent it along with the demand for the entire amount plus some of my legal fees to both counsel. By Tuesday morning both debtor counsel were working hard on a solution to get me paid. By Tuesday at 1:00, I was paid the entire debt, plus some of my attorney fees. Today is Wednesday, and I am starting my day writing an excellent review for Mr. Holcomb. Alan, thank you very much for your help! Words cannot really express the great relief that I feel to finally be paid for all of our hard work.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Alan on a personal injury case in which multiple parties were injured. The case went to litigation. I learned a lot working with Alan. He was diligent in his investigation and passionate in his representation. Alan’s work benefited both of our clients and contributed to a resolution of the case in which our clients were fairly compensated for their damages. I highly recommend Alan in all areas of his legal practice and look forward to working with him again."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I was a defense attorney for a major insurance company. I worked with them for 26 years before retiring to do mediation work. When I worked for the insurance company as defense counsel, Alan and I had a case against each other. He represented a Plaintiff who was very seriously injured in a car accident that was my client's fault. I found Alan to be very competent and good to work with. He was very thorough in handling of the case, worked quickly and hard, and got a very good settlement for his client. He is a true gentleman. One thing that I noticed with Alan that separates him from other attorneys that I have worked with is that he seems to have a special relationship with his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been injured in an accident. Bud Roberts Esq."
