I cannot recommend Attorney Michelle Holmes highly enough. From the very first meeting, she was straightforward, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took control of a complicated employment matter and immediately brought clarity and direction to the situation. Michelle was responsive, strategic, and calm under pressure. She understood both the legal landscape and the practical realities involved, and she moved quickly when it mattered most. What stood out to me was her ability to cut through noise and focus on the outcome. Because of her leadership and professionalism, my case was resolved efficiently and far sooner than I expected. If you are looking for an attorney who is sharp, responsive, and truly advocates for her clients, Michelle Holmes is someone you want in your corner.

Some of the staff here are extremely rude and unprofessional. They act as if they are doing clients a favor, when in reality they are being paid to provide a service. The overall attitude was dismissive and disrespectful. I am very disappointed with this establishment and the lack of professionalism shown. I would not recommend this place save yourself the disappointment and headache.

My mother had a consultation scheduled with this attorney today regarding her business. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely unprofessional. The attorney who met with us was not Michelle, but another woman. She arrived approximately 25 minutes late to the appointment and did not apologize or acknowledge the delay, despite having previously told my mother that if she herself was not present exactly at 9:00 AM, there would be nothing she could do for her. This set an unprofessional tone from the start. Upon entering the room, the first thing the attorney said was, “Who is this?” in reference to me, rather than greeting us or introducing herself. No effort was made to create a welcoming or professional environment. When my mother expressed discomfort that no apology was given for the lateness, the attorney responded dismissively and told her that she could leave if she did not like it, stating that she had “come out of her way to help,” despite the fact that my mother was paying a $500 consultation fee. Overall, this interaction was disrespectful, dismissive, and far below the standard of professionalism expected from someone in this field. This was one of the most unprofessional consultations we have ever experience Just disgusting.

Didn’t return the original phone call, rude, interrupted me constantly and was only after the $500 consult fee. Typical ambulance chaser.

My former employer recommended I have an attorney review a severance offer and I'm very happy that I did. Michelle Holmes listened, researched, and in a very timely manner resolved any issues. I would highly recommend calling her if you need help with employment law.

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.

Wanted to charge me $500 for consultation! Not a way to help someone who just lost their job!!

Very rude and didn't care to listen or even hear me out kept cutting me off. Absolutely disgusting

Response from owner

Krystle, I understand that it is difficult to hear when an attorney honestly informs you of her legal opinion that your claim does not have merit. I do not take cases or cause people to incur legal expense unless I can help them. <br>However, that is only my opinion and you are certainly free to contact other lawyers. I wish you the best moving forward.

Michelle Holmes, a woman of integrity, honesty and dedication to the law. In 2020, I had reached out to numerous attorneys - none of which had faith in my case or they did not understand the seriousness of my claims. Michelle, sat with me and truly listened to me and she never gave up on me. She worked endlessly with myself and four other clients where we ended up with a nearly 5 million dollar verdict. If you want someone that truly cares about you, an attorney that dedicates their life to applying the law and will never give up on you - look no further than Michelle Holmes, the absolute best attorney that will fight to the end for YOU. Thank you Michelle!

Extremely pleased with Attorney Holmes services. She is a very assertive attorney and I will not hesitate to refer her to anyone. You can’t go wrong by choosing Attorney Holmes. She is a fighter for her clients rights.

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. 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.

I came to Michelle to review my severance agreement and she fought for my rights and worked diligently to get me an excellent result. I highly recommend her!

Don't go to this one. She does not listen to what you have to say and assuming you don't have a case. I made several calls to other attorney and they said we have a case due to several proof. This lady will push you off the side to not deal with you at all. Terrible don't trust you will lose with her

Called to get information on a discrimination complaint, she was very short with me and acted like she did not want to be bothered at all. She told me I did not have a case worth fighting and it would be an uphill battle. I do not believe retaliation for a discrimination complaint is an uphill battle, but hey she has 10+ years experience. The EEOC says I have a case, and already filed with them. So why is the government willing to help me, but someone who chose this career to help people, will not.

Called asking for help and I was totally blowed off without hearing my situation. Do not recommend.

I hired Michelle Holmes less than 6 months ago and my case is already resolved with an outcome I both parties are happy with. I quickly realized this wasn't something I could file myself and her vast knowledge of the process in state and federally made it painless for me. She took the time to understand the facts of the case and the roles everyone in the organization played. This helped her articulate the gaps I saw and needed the other party to address. I'm very satisfied with the outcome of the case and my experience working with her.

Michelle Holmes is a bulldog. She will fight, she won't back down and she will work to get the best possible result for her client. A person with genuine heart, integrity and intelligence. Someone you can trust.

Michelle Holmes is an honest, hard working and thorough BULL DOG who will not quit for you. Got excellent results in a contract dispute that she had the field tilted seemingly against her. Skillfully kept fighting and got an incredible result. I recommend her to anyone. She’s one of the good ones.
