Hired Attorney Mr. John Holmes Jr.

Very pleased with my experience. Mr. Holmes was informative and clear while also providing compassion and understanding. He was honest and real about my options, even when that meant I wasn’t actually in need of an attorney. I will definitely retain Mr. Holmes if I am ever in need of legal assistance.

Hired Attorney Mr. John Holmes Jr.

As a client of the John Holmes Law Firm - I can confirm his speciality as an attorney to assist his clients and make sure they get back some good from the bad they are going through - if you are worried and upset about your situation- John Holmes is the guy that will go over and beyond to help you - the only advise I will give you (the ones reading this) show some patience and respect and you will get results thats better than the problem so give John Holmes a chance and in time you will be living your life knowing that you took care of the problem. Take it from a client that can testify to that. John Holmes will hear you out and give you the best possible options just be honest with him. Many lawyers are in it for the money but John Holmes actually cares about helping people in a crappy situation. I appreciate you John. Also would like to show appreciation to Stephen as well. Thank you both for your time in my situation and helping getting it resolve.

John told me what I needed to do regarding my case and I did. The outcome was very positive for me. He’s a very competent lawyer. If I would ever need a lawyer again he would be my choice, very personable, reliable and professional.

Hired Attorney Mr. John Holmes Jr.

John is very blunt and straight to the point, he will tell you like it is, which is fantastic because you don't need to sugar coat any legal issues and most of the time the customer needs to hear it anyways. He got felonies down to a single misdemeanor at a killer price and was friendly and transparent the whole time and told me what he was going to do and made it happen. I will be using him for any future legal issues.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
