At JAMLAC, we witness stories of resilience every day—but some victories leave a lasting imprint on our hearts. Recently, Alexander Holmes, one of our dedicated Family Law Attorneys, secured a powerful outcome for a client who had endured years of domestic and financial abuse.
This survivor had been physically assaulted—hit in the face repeatedly—and suffered deeply from financial control and manipulation. Her abuser withheld money, sold off property to prevent her from receiving anything, and failed to provide for their children. Despite facing an opposing party with extensive financial resources and private legal representation, Attorney Holmes stood firm by her side.
Through tireless advocacy, Alex helped her client obtain sole custody and decision-making authority over her children. Even more remarkably, the court awarded her support payments to continue her education, empowering her to pursue a career and create a safer, more stable future for her family.
This case is a powerful reminder of why we do this work: to restore justice, safety, and dignity to those who have been silenced or overlooked. Thank you, Alexander, for turning the law into a tool for healing and hope.
