Customer Reviews for Lacy E. Holly, III, P.A.
-
Hired Law firm 2023-2024I engaged Lacy Holly to represent me and seven other co-owners in the sale of an inherited commercial property in Newark. Despite paying over $10,000 in legal fees, Mr. Holly failed to advise us about critical environmental liabilities that follow title holders or recommend necessary environmental inspections that could have protected us from substantial liability. This oversight nearly exposed us to significant financial risk. When asked about potential liabilities we might face as involuntary title holders, Mr. Holly never mentioned environmental concerns—information we later had to learn from our real estate broker. He also misrepresented our contractual rights regarding the deposit recovery when a sale fell through, recommending a 75/25 split despite contractual provisions supporting full recovery. Most concerning was Mr. Holly's reaction when questioned—he attempted to terminate representation without notice, only communicating this decision to one of eight clients. Professional legal representation should include protecting clients from foreseeable risks, especially involuntary title holders with no choice in ownership. Unfortunately, our experience fell well short of this standard, resulting in extended carrying costs, additional property taxes, and significant stress to the property sale.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
