Richard, as my divorce attorney, handled my case with class, decency, and respect for the law. His guidance was based on experience, guile, and understanding of the law, offering solutions throughout to mitigate the emotional and financial stress associated with a difficult case. Appreciate that he had my back and fought hard, and fairly, to achieve the best outcome possible for my boys and me.

I highly recommend Fresh Start! Kathy and the whole team supported and worked diligently for me during a terrible time in my life. Always following up, always answering every question and concern with compassion and kindness. I didn't have to worry about anything. Now that it is all said and done, I couldn't be happier with the service I received from this wonderful practice. Thank you, Kathy and Team :)

Richard did an amazing job representing me in a custody battle. I was extremely worried about my situation and wasn’t sure anyone would be able to help me. Richard fought hard for me and was a great advocate in court. He persuaded the Judge to order the outcome I was hoping for, and I was so thrilled and thankful for that result. I highly recommend Richard to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer to fight for them!

If you're looking for an honest but fierce no-nonsense type of attorney, Ms. Lucas is your type of attorney. Her dedication to my case was apparent from the beginning. She is very resourceful, especially in situations like mine, when the defendant refused to provide requested documents. Ms. Lucas consistently followed-up behind the scenes on my behalf and kept me informed about the status of my case in a timely manner. She was also considerate of my time when it came to court appearances. I highly recommend her.

Ms Lucas guided me through every step of the divorce process. When we first met, I was scared, overwhelmed, and completely unprepared for a contentious divorce. She was supportive and encouraging, and helped me find the strength to fight for my rights. Ms. Lucas expertly negotiated a reasonable custody and property settlement. I wholeheartedly recommend Fresh Start Family Law!

Kathy was very helpful in getting my separation and divorce finalized. She was honest and up front about the expectations, so I was never surprised or led astray during the entire process. Made the whole ordeal way more comfortable than it could have been.

Kathy was a member of a law group I had used previously. She reviewed my court order from my divorce and then talked to me on the phone about my concerns and desires. Since I was in a different state than NC it was difficult for me to meet in person and all our communication was handled by phone or email. She is a very effective communicator and does not hesitate to tell the truth or present all foreseeable senarios and options. She also is quick to point out when she needs assistance and has many competent contacts in her legal arsenal. Kathy stayed on the offensive in my case and produced the most favorable outcome I could have expected. She is absolutely a wonderful lawyer and genuine person. She is reasonable, trustworthy, intelligent and professional. I would not hesitate to use her services again when the need arises. Steve

I HAD THE BEST: Listener, attentative, accurate, speedy, knowledgeable, competitive and most professional attorney for my divorce of a 32 year marriage. That's Kathy H. Lucas!!!

Kathy was an exceptional representative in our case. She took the time to understand our complex situation and was compassionate, understanding and in our case provided us w/ the best possible outcome.

Kathy Holmes is an attorney who comes in prepared and ready to aggressively represent her client. Her knowledge of statutes and case law is evident in the courtroom and I believe made a huge difference in my case. While she understands and respects the protocol of the courtroom, she was not intimidated nor reserved when it came to addressing the court on my behalf. I would highly recommend Ms. Holmes to anyone who wants strong and confident representation.

Kathy helped me during my divorce and child custody/support proceedings. Her assessment of my situation, along with very candid/clear guidance, helped make the process virtually pain free. I highly recommend her to anyone in a similar predicament.
