Communicative, responsive and realistic in my family law case. Always had my Children’s interest at the forefront and worked to establish a plan that would aid me in providing those needs for them. Worth it.

Hired Attorney Mr. John Holmes Jr.

John showed great compassion and understanding w my situation. His guidance through the 10 month long legal process was invaluable. John's suggestions helped the court look favorably on my DWI and I got the best sentencing possible under the circumstances. John knew my end goals and worked to achieve those from delaying resolution to sentencing goals. All of which I am extremely satisfied with. I'd highly recommend John. The only negative I'd share (and there's got to be negatives for an honest review) is that sometimes the communication was unclear,confusing or not timely. But nothing of major concern. Again, highly recommended. And I've had my share of attorney experiences in my life. I wouldn't hesitate again to hire Mr Holmes.

Hired Attorney Mr. John Holmes Jr.

I did not get the chance to work with this lawyer. After weeks of reaching out to their office via phone, email, and their website, I talked to one person. I sent them the information they requested, then did not hear back.

Hired Attorney Mr. John Holmes Jr.

Working with this lawyer was a great experience with the first case we worked together on. Positive results and fantastic communication. When we had the follow up case to the originally, things turned very bad. I have not received communication about my case in months and I paid thousands of dollars one year and 10 months ago. As a law firm you would expect to have frequent communication with clients regarding the status of the case. I have not received a single email or communication at all since April 2024. Therefore, after receiving my money, inconsistent communication

Hired Attorney Mr. John Holmes Jr.

Initially, John was excellent when recruiting me as a client. Once he got his fee, I had to call him and email him constantly. He has several phone numbers. When you call most of the numbers, the mail box is full and you cannot leave a message. He seems to always have different "assistants" and if you go to the office, most of the time it is closed! Run away from this "legal" professional. Any client should NOT have to chase after their lawyer after paying retainer fee to have their legal matters helped with.

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.
