About the Firm

Experienced Waterbury Attorney Provides Responsive Legal Representation to Clients

Dedicated lawyer assists Connecticut residents in civil litigation, employment, and family law matters

A challenging legal problem requires the skill of a seasoned attorney. At Holmes Law Offices, I bring more than two decades of experience to complex legal matters involving civil litigation, employment law, and family law. Clients throughout Connecticut choose my Waterbury law firm because of my personalized attention, track record of successful legal decisions, and aggressive advocacy. I provide injury victims, employees, and families with dedicated counsel that always seeks to advance their best interests.

Accomplished trial advocate provides personalized representation

Individuals dealing with civil law, employment law, and family law matters entrust their cases to Holmes Law Offices because I offer:

  • Personalized legal guidance — I work one on one with each of my clients to ensure they receive the customized legal guidance they need and the personal attention they deserve.
  • Aggressive litigation services — Some cases can be resolved outside the courtroom; others cannot. I am able to negotiate from a position of strength because of my reputation as an aggressive litigator. You can rely on me to vigorously represent your interests in court.
  • Flexible billing arrangements — Unlike many law firms, Holmes Law Offices offers fixed-fee arrangements designed to make legal counsel more cost-effective for clients.

 Whatever your legal issue, you can rely on me to bring clarity and focus to your case as I advocate for your interests.

  • Employment law — My firm offers aggressive employment law representation to employees who seek help for discrimination (including age and gender discrimination), sexual harassment, wage and overtime claims, unemployment appeals, defamation, and unpaid wages. I also handle claims pertaining to wrongful termination, whistleblower protection, medical marijuana in the workplace, CCHRO violations, and violations of EEOC-enforced federal laws.
  • Family lawFamily law matters can be particularly stressful for clients.
