About Brooke Holmes, Litigation Attorney
Ms. Holmes has participated in over 25 trials in multiple practice areas, including divorce, custody, order of protection, child custody, and more. In her greatest litigation victory, she defended a case for a year, dealing with a ruthless opposing party who violated court orders, and caused potential harm to her client. In the end, Ms. Holmes and her client were able to complete a two-day trial, pointing out the lies and accusations from the opposing party and impeaching their credibility as a whole. This resulted in them gaining a more favorable outcome than expected, leaving the client happy and keeping the child safe. Ms. Holmes’s efforts and victories with these cases show her dedication to her clients.
