Holmes Legal Group LLC

We used Pamela Holmes as a GAL 13 years ago. The absolute bias and ineffiency of her during our court case was absurd. We had evidence that the child's step father to be was abusive, her mother was speading false information to her then 4 year old child (brain washing her to not want her father in her life) and so much more. She completely sided with the mother stating taking the child away from her father and moving her across the country was in her best interest. Once they moved, the mother all but cut this child's father out of her life and she has since received the most poor education living in a dead end town with no opportunity. Here was a loving involved father that wanted to continue to be in his child's life but Pamela felt the mom should get her way as she talked to the child about the move and got the child's hopes up. So a 4 year old gets to decide what's best for her when a mother is clearly brain washing her? They also never married which was the whole reason for uprooting the child. Nor did they live in a beautiful home as they stated during the court case, in fact they moved to what looked like a third world country. She didn't interview anyone on the father's side of the family, other than myself and the father. Talked to everyone on the mother's side which were not fans of the father. Believed every single lie the mother said. I would absolutely never hire her or recommend her to anyone. Especially if you are looking for a fair and unbiased GAL. She did not do her job at all. Hope she is proud of herself for ruining a relationship between a child and her father and separating them. Edit in response to their below reply: Due to the privacy of the family involved, I do not find it necessary to disclose their name but yes, I was absolutely involved in this court case 13 years ago which Pamela represented. I personally talked to her about my concerns about a happy well adjusted 4 year old being ripped from her father and brought to another state that is across the country. Stating that this would severely impact the relationship between a child and her father and that as a GAL that is supposed to be acting in the best interest of the child, the best interest was to keep a loving, committed father as a stable part of her life. Clearly, she did not care what I had to say. None of what Pamela Holmes did was in the best interest of the child but in the best interest of the selfish mother that took her child from all her family that she had known consistently for the first four years of her life. She will argue that she does not make the decision but that the judge does. Her report is absolutely what caused the judge to allow the child to be taken away from her father. I will not remove this review as it 100% accurate and everyone should be allowed to know the truth of whom they may potentially be hiring. If you are mother looking to go after the father, sure, hire her, as she is clearly biased for the mother.

Brittany S. was a guardian at litem for one of our foster kiddos and by far the most caring, compassionate, attorneys I've had experience with to date. As Foster parents she was our 5th one we've worked with and by far the best. She fights for what's in the best interest of the children no matter what that looks like. She is open to suggestions and listens to your concerns and will do whatever to make sure the outcome is the best one for all involved. If we had it our way Brittany would be the only GAL we would have for future placements. If you want someone that cares about kids and is willing to go the distance for her clients she's the best one for the job!

Pam Holmes and HLG have been a huge part of our family’s life. Going into family court can be intimidating, am I right? But without hesitation I knew Pam was the one for the job. Great attorney, down to earth and comforting. My case was a complex situation and they have had our back on multiple occasions. With HLG your in good hands. They care and are diligent at what they do. I highly recommend this firm. - Hann Family ??????????????

Through all the legal wrangling's and the uncertainties which seem intimidating, Mary-Ann guided us through to victory. Her down to earth persona was a great fit for us. Staying on point in the courtroom was one of the reasons for a positive outcome and believing in her clients , was of course, reassuring. Highly recommend.

Brittany Sawyer and her team helped me through some family legal issues. I found them all to be professional and responsive through the entire process. Brittany took care to explain things and advocate for me and my children. I would highly recommend her and the team!
