Our Process:
What To Expect

Taking the first step toward legal help can feel overwhelming. We make the process clear and supportive, so you always know what comes next.

Our goal is to guide you toward resolution with compassion and clarity — and whenever possible, that means beginning with mediation.

Schedule a Consultation

01

Consultation

Your journey starts with a private consultation, scheduled online or by phone. During this meeting, we’ll learn about your situation, answer initial questions, and outline how we can best support you moving forward.

02

Share Your Story

We take the time to listen carefully and gather the details that matter most. From there, we explain the options available under Maine family law and help you understand which paths may align best with your goals.

03

Choose Your Level of Representation

Whenever possible, we encourage starting with mediation to reach a cooperative, cost-effective resolution. If mediation isn’t the right fit, we’ll discuss limited or full representation tailored to your needs.

04

Move Forward with Confidence

With a clear plan in place, you can move forward knowing you have steady guidance at every step. Whether mediation, negotiation, or the courtroom advocacy, we are committed to helping you reach resolution and stability for your future.

Flexible Representation Options

We believe legal help should be transparent and manageable. Before any work begins, we’ll review fees and options with you so there are no surprises.
Limited Representation

Affordable, targeted legal help when you need assistance with only part of your case — such as document drafting, mediation, or a single hearing.

Full Representation

Comprehensive legal support from start to finish, including ongoing guidance, court appearances, and strategic advocacy at every stage.

Custom Representation

Not sure which option is right for you? That’s okay. Contact us, and we’ll talk through your unique situation to create a plan that fits your legal needs.

What Our Former Clients Say

“Pam Holmes and her team are a group of caring and confident professionals that do not back down. I am so thankful to have had them recommended to me, and to have them swoop in and pick up the pieces from my first failed law firm.
From our first discussion, it was evident that Pam was not only seasoned and savvy but also deeply caring. She approaches challenges with a level of confident professionalism that is rare. Pam picked up the pieces of a previous attorney that I had, and she had the incredible ability to actively listen, absorb and make sense of the awful experience I had already gone through with another firm, used it to inform her actions, and acted quickly.
I felt like I wasn’t just listened to, I was understood.
Pam navigated my divorce and very complex case with the confidence and care that I needed, She made me feel like I could take a deep breath again while we were still trying to figure out my divorce. Her professionalism and deep knowledge of family law allowed me to free up my mental bandwidth so I could focus on what was most important, which was taking care of my daughter and navigating being a newly single mom, and my new life.
I wholeheartedly highly recommend Pam Holmes and Holmes Legal Group to anyone dealing with divorce or family law cases.”

“We used Holmes Legal to draw up some documents for the sale of our Maine home including a Promissory note and a Bill of Sale. Not having had to use a lawyer before in Maine its always risky business to take a chance on an unknown. We were glad to see that they to handle our business promptly since you never want to put off a closing date for the sale of your home. Anyway, the docs were written well and we had our realtor look them over and everything looked very good. We did sell the home and the buyers dis sign those docs. We haven’t had to use the documents to deal with any issues since we had responsible buyers but for such a large investment like a home I think it’s foolish not to have official legal documents. We were happy to work with them and I would give anyone else a green light to use them. Peace of mind is a good thing.”

Former Client

“Pam knows her stuff and has my child’s interests at heart. She is child centered and motivated by the best interests of her youngest clients. Welfare of the child is her biggest concern even if it means adults are not happy. I would be surprised if she even takes on clients who are unwilling to put their children first. She is tough but fair.”

J.M.

Former Client

“Holmes Legal Group, I would not think to go anywhere else. Pamela Holmes is professional, knowledgeable is always thinking for you. She takes the stress of needing an attorney out of your hands and into hers. Pams staff is also wonderful to deal with. Quick email responses from all in her office.”

B.B.

Former Client

“Child Custody/child safety cases are by far the most difficult cases on every level. I am so thankful I was referred to Pamela Holmes. She is, hands down, the most straight forward, clear cut, no BS attorney I’ve ever dealt with. I have had 3 others to help me in the past … none compare, none were able to help me at this level. She was prepared and on point at each court mediation and hearing.
To say I’m Grateful is not enough. I highly recommend her. She will do her best and get the job done. I’m happy to say she helped me win my case.”

S.M.

Former Client

“Pam Holmes is an excellent attorney for handling extremely difficult and challenging cases involving divorce and custody issues. I couldn’t have found a better person to deal with my case, with the legal guardian, and my ex-wife and her lawyer. Pam is organized, very professional, excellent at defending and representing her clients in court and in mediation. I can’t say enough good things about her, and I highly recommend her.”

J.G.

Former Client

“Exceptional Attorney with an Outstanding Team I cannot recommend Pam Holmes highly enough. Going through a divorce is never easy, but she provided not only outstanding legal representation but also genuine support during one of the most difficult times in my life. She guided me through every step with professionalism, wisdom, and compassion, ensuring that I felt confident and protected throughout the process. Beyond her legal expertise, she is a truly kind and empathetic person who cares about her clients as human beings, not just cases. If you are looking for an attorney who is both highly skilled and deeply invested in your well-being, Pam is the one you want by your side. Her entire team also deserves recognition-Jaime and Emily were incredible. They were always responsive, patient, and helpful, making a stressful situation much easier to navigate. Their kindness and efficiency ensured that everything ran smoothly, and I always felt like I was in good hands.”

Former Client

“Pamela Holmes and her amazing team did an incredible job of representing my minor son and me through extraordinary circumstances. She was a consummate professional, excellent communicator (with both my younger son and me), and tireless partner and advocate for us as we endeavored to negotiate our complicated family law situation thru the family court system in Cumberland County Maine. Pamela has integrity. She is an outstanding and creative problem solver, collaborator, caring, and compassionate. She is very well regarded by her peers which made the process of finding other pros needed through our time together easier. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any family in need of strong, effective representation in any and all family court matters.”

C.K.

Former Client

“Going through divorce is like an emotional bushwhack. Pamela was professional, direct, and was able to advocate for me when I was unable to see what was fair. No one wants to go through the legal process, but when necessary, it’s great to have a team on your side who connects with the individual and can represent professionally with sound experience. I hope to not need Pamela’s service in the future, but if I do, she’s still in my contact list and I recommend her to many looking for similar representation. “

H.S.

Former Client

“I’ve been extremely fortunate to have Pamela Holmes as my counsel . I survived a very abusive marriage and difficult divorce. I will forever be grateful for how she consistently and compassionately advocates for me and my children. If you are looking for an honest, kind and sincere lawyer who will represent you and your case in the court room, (and out) with the highest level of integrity. I strongly recommend Pamela Holmes. If I am ever in need of a lawyer again. ( I hope I am not) I will definitely use her DEFINITELY +++five stars Finally free”

C.G.

Former Client

“Pamela and her staff are fabulous! I really appreciate all they did to help me with my legal needs. Jaime was always very responsive and helpful. Pamela Holmes in particular demonstrates a unique ability to use her knowledge of the law and combine it with her compassion, willingness to listen and excellent communication skills to support and advise her clients effectively. She demonstrates sound judgment and superb competency. She is reliable, thorough and dependable. I highly recommend her to those I know and to anyone who is in need of an excellent attorney and person to lead them through the most challenging legal situations. “
