Best attorney ever. We were continuously informed with easy to understand explanations of our case. Dean kept us calm when we were going through all the legal processes. His entire staff was also very professional and pleasant. Dean won our case all the way through MS supreme court. We hold a special place in our heart for all Dean did for us.

After several years of being tied up in litigation, I have learned the hard way that not all lawyers are the same. I hope others will learn from my mistake. My owner regret is that I didn’t hire Mr. Dean Holleman from the very beginning of my legal journey. He is the absolute best on the Mississippi Gulf Coast!

Dean was extremally knowledgeable about the law, the process, what info was needed to win the case, and predicting likely outcomes. He was spot on what information and approach was needed to win the case. He approached the case strategically and that guided successful preparation. He was very well prepared and dominated opposing council. Because of his preparation, hard data provided as evidence and domination of the defendant and opposing attorney the judged ruled in our favor within 45 minutes. The best possible outcome for us was realized.

I made a tremendous mistake not seeking his services back in 2012 when this travesty started. I consulted Dean in 2017 about my previous attys wrong decision. but made the right choice when I needed for the second battle. The above choices were accurately added to this survey as needed. I strongly recommend his services and his staff to anyone I hope to protect on a needed basis. Money well spent on a professional team.

Working with Dean made a terrible situation feel like there was hope. Going through a custody battle is already a terrible situation but trying to find a lawyer you can trust makes it that much scarier. Dean made me feel confident about our case from day one. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable but he was also kind and willingly explained things to me when I didn't understand. I never had a problem getting in touch with him or getting him to call me back. Through the entire process, there was not a time that I didn't trust that he had what was best for me and my child in mind. Dean is an extraordinary lawyer. He will always be my first call if I need a lawyer!

Dean is at the top of his game. A trustworthy advocate that has the best legal interests of his clients on his heart and mind, at all times. Legal battles are won through hardwork, perseverance, and a dedicated Team. Dean embodies all the traits and qualities necessary to fight those battles, and I would go to battle with Dean any day.

We had no idea what to expect when we first contacted Dean to represent us. Dean keeps us in the loop at all times. When we do not understand legal terms, he explains them in every day terms. We like his approach in cutting through the BS and driving right to the issue, making the other side realize they should have been better prepared. Dean also got us involved researching our type of case to help us better understand what to expect. It is not over yet, but we know Dean is on top of what it takes to turn the tide.
