Mr. Holmes helped me during a very emotional time in my life and helped me regain custody of my son. Having an attorney who genuinely cares for the safety and well-being of my child was an immense comfort. He tells you his concerns and hopes and is open to your input as the process moves forward. I very much felt that we were a team and my son is now with me and thriving! I could never thank him enough!

Pat was great to work with! He handled everything in a timely manner and kept me updated along the way. He couldn’t have made this process any easier! Highly recommend.

Mr Holmes did his absolute best during the COVID-19 pandemic. He kept me informed and updated on the statues of my case and resolved it before my rescheduled court date. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. He was highly professional and kind throughout my case.

I used Patrick to close on a house I recently purchased. He was knowledgable, efficient and thorough and got it closed out swiftly with no issues distrusting the seemless transaction. I plan on using him for any and all of my real estate transactions in the future.

I thought my divorce was going to be simple, but after many failed attempts at serving my ex, Mr. Holmes had to get a process server involved to help us move forward. Mr. Holmes was honest and encouraging every step of the way. Even when I felt like we had everything going against us, he still reassured me, and more importantly, proved to me that he not only knew what he was doing, but was an attorney I could actually trust. I would recommend everyone facing this tough battle do it with Mr. Holmes on their side.

I am at a loss for words to express my sincere, eternal gratitude to Attorney Patrick Holmes for his immediate reaction time, his kind demeanor, and his comprehension and execution of the North Carolina statues in the court of law. I am an out of state resident who had to find an attorney in North Carolina for an immediate serious custody issue. I flew to North Carolina, went to the court house, presented my official court documents and was told I needed an attorney. I walked into Attorney Holmes's office and was received with kindness, concern, acceptance and an willingness to help even though he had a full schedule and was due in court in an hour. Attorney Holmes represented me, he completed all the foreign motions imaginable for our highly unusual ( out-of-state ) custody case. The following day we went to trial, throughout our four hour trial Attorney Holmes would ask if I was OK, noting this is tough stuff to hear. We WON and returned to our home state. I must mention that Attorney Holmes's legal assistant was professional and compassionate given our extremely emotional circumstances. I would like to remain anonymous as, there are tender hearts (minor children) involved. I would hire Attorney Holmes again in a New York minute I heard this quote and thought of Attorney Holmes "it is said some lives are linked across time connected by an ancient calling that echos through the ages" thank you Attorney Holmes

Mr. Holmes provided excellent service for a ticket I received for "running a stop sign". Per his recommendation he had my ticket reduced to an improper equipment charge and had everything taken care of before my court date. I will use him for any issues that I have come up.

My situation was a very unique one, to say the least. I first met Pat shadowing another attorney for my custody and divorce case at Stubbs and Perdue. I am the type to quietly observe. I took notice of him being new and eager. One day we randomly engaged in conversation and what I liked most is that he was himself. He did not feed BS and try to keep conversation by saying things he thought I wanted to hear. What we did not know was a couple months down the road an attorney I originally hired for a case would leave the firm. My case was given to a 2nd attorney that I never met with and also left the firm before my case was heard. This process already messed my case up. Pat was handed the short end of the stick. I knew this already and I let him know I was not expecting him to pull off a miracle being handed a case at the last second. I watched him work as hard as he possibly could to get the best outcome. In the end, he was able to get the best outcome I could have imagined. I hope he reads this. Sorry, it took so long for me to get you a review brother.
