Holt Law Firm

I hired Sharon Williams to help me with a name change. I told her I wanted to use an attorney with experience in this sort of thing so I wouldn't have to worry about it and would get it done fast as I need to have my preferred name match for my job. She told me not to worry, that she would take care of it quickly. I initially met with her in late July, and I signed my petition in early August. it is now January and the process is not done. She has been very unresponsive, as I've texted her multiple times asking for specifics on why this is taking so long. I now haven't heard from her in a week. I've called her office multiple times with no answer and left messages. Called her phone but the voicemail box is full. The lack of communication leaves me to not trust that she is able to do the job I paid her to do in a timely manner, and feel like I've wasted my time and money for something I would have been better off doing myself. Ive spoken with people who have changed their names on their own with no attorney and most did it within a month. I am at 5 months. My passport has expired and my license expires soon which will be a major complication where I have to renew it under my old name, while I was under the impression would have been taken care of by now. I would not trust Sharon Williams with anything as important as custody or a will if she can't even properly do a name change.

I would like to thank my attorney Mr. Jim Holt for his very much appreciated support and very professionalism representation of my legal court matter today in the Terrebonne Parish Courthouse  for the dismissal of my case. Mr. Holt has really put his total heart into my legal matters, as well as his total efforts in all my legal matters past and present over the years regardless of the location ,whether big or small, he was and has always been there for me, not just as my attorney, but as a friend indeed from the heart "God Sent" and really thank him for all of his very  much appreciated supportive efforts for nearly 20 years now fighting  for my overcoming of all my legal matters successfully, and I will always call upon him if the need ever arises again , because he is a very very great and dedicated, caring  attorney and has always been there to fight for my freedom as well as my well being! Thanks Mr. Holt! Great Job! Sincerely, Christopher M. Gray

My wife retained Sharon Williams to represent her in the case for custody of her daughter from a previous relationship. She failed to file a petition for custody in a timely manner which allowed the opposing party to file in their parish instead of the parish in which we reside. To top things off she did not show up to court for mediation until it was too late and my wife, not knowing she had other options, represented herself. We essentially flushed almost $2000 down the toilet on this lawyer with nothing to show for it and have since had to retain another attorney. We placed our trust in her to fight for us and our daughter and she broke it. We paid Sharon Williams to be there for my wife in this trying situation and she failed miserably.

I retained Sharon Williams November 2020 for a custody battle and relocation of me and my daughter! And let’s just say I’m not pleased with her work at all. Paid her money only to lose. She did not meet my needs and told me she didn’t believe the judge would rule in my favor the day before court. It’s almost as if she was on the other parties side. Do not retain her if you want to win. Please look elsewhere for attorney on custody cases.

I was very pleased with my experience at Holt Law Firm. He made me feel comfortable regarding my case and ensured that I was in good hands. Mr. Holt was in constant communication with me and I got the result I wanted. I highly recommend Holt Law Firm
