Holly should have a “10” rating on Avvo. I had met with multiple attorneys in the Madison area for initial consultation, as I had been contemplating divorce for many years owing to my abusive marriage. The lawyers I met with before Holly, didn't seem to believe me or take my concerns seriously. As I was meeting with Holly, I knew she was the right person to hire. Holly listened and was knowledgeable regarding international custody and travel considerations that needed to be addressed for my child’s safety, which was my primary concern. I have had the privilege of having her represent me over the past several years. She very proficiently and ethically practices law, is extremely well prepared, is kind, and unflappable. Highlight areas (not an exhaustive list) she addressed in my divorce include the following: representing me at a hearing in criminal court, to where a motion in family court was turfed, related to my then husband's bail conditions in criminal court that were in place to protect my child from international parental abduction; communicating with my child's guardian ad litem (GAL) and advocating for my child to the GAL; guidance through the family study process; injunction for domestic abuse against my then husband and insuring he and I were not co-located in the same room for arbitration; deposition of then husband’s employer; binding arbitration for the divorce instead of a court trial; successfully defending against my then husband’s attempts to nullify binding arbitration that had been completed for our divorce ,through her sharp knowledge and ability to cite and understand Wisconsin statues and case law at multiple hearings. She has helped me get through some of the most difficult experiences in my life!!
