Hired Attorney Michelle Holmes

I hired Michelle Holmes to help with a severance offer and I've never been happier. Michelle listened, researched and very quickly resolved any issues. If you're in need of assistance with employment law I can't think of anyone better to call. She really does have your back!

Hired Attorney Michelle Holmes

I talked to a few other attorneys before deciding to hire Michelle Holmes to help with my severance agreement—and I’m really glad I did. From the start, she took the time to really listen and understand my concerns, which made a big difference. She was sharp, responsive, and totally focused on getting the best possible outcome. Michelle got back to me quickly, kept me in the loop, and the final result was better than I expected. She's professional, tough when needed, and someone you definitely want in your corner. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone needing solid legal support.

Hired Attorney Michelle Holmes

I highly recommend Michelle Holmes. At a time when I felt my options were limited, she spent time to fully understand the complexity of the issue we addressed with my former employer. I have never been out of work or engaged a lawyer; the experience was new to me. She explained things plainly & presented my options in clear language helping me to make good decisions. At points, I wanted to take actions that may not have proved beneficial. Michelle always listened to my viewpoint and guided me in the direction most prudent for my case. At the outset, I felt the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution was almost impossible due to the size of the corporation & the lack of desire to negotiate. By being so well-versed in the details, she was able to secure a settlement that was fair to me. I was not surprised by the end of our time together that the initial estimate Michelle provided to me as my settlement was precisely what we achieved together.

Hired Attorney Michelle Holmes

I needed an attorney that would help me understand the laws and legal terminology that I was presented with. Michellle did this in a very educational, professional and personal manner. I felt comfortable asking questions no matter how unintelligent they sounded. She made a very stressful situation, less tense by providing me the education I needed! I am so thankful to have found her and would highly recommend her!
