"I called Ms. Waltman the night before my court date and she appeared in court the next morning and was able to resolve my matter less than 12 hours after I called. Best of all, she kept the accident off my insurance and kept points off my drivers license. I would highly recommend Ms. Waltman to anyone who is going to court, especially if you’re worried about your court date. She explained exactly what was going to happen, worked efficiently, and got the result I was hoping for. I hope I don’t need to, but if I ever find myself in a position where I need to go to court, I will be calling Ms. Waltman again; she made the process so easy. Plain and simple, Ms. Waltman is best attorney around. Thank you Holly!"

"Holly Waltman is absolutely the best attorney around. She is knowledgeable, passionate and relentless when it comes to doing a good job for her clients. She kept us educated and informed throughout the entire process. She made sure we understood all of our options and did so in a calming, down to earth manner. In the end she delivered the exact outcome we were hoping for. We could not be happier! I highly recommend her!"

D.D. –

"I was fortunate enough to be referred to Holly through a mutual friend and could not have been more satisfied. She was not only extremely responsive and knowledgeable, but knew how to navigate the internal politics of the Courts and DA’s office in Atlanta and the state of Georgia. Would recommend with zero hesitation."

J.J. –

"Ms Waltman went over and beyond on short notice to appear in court with my girlfriend on a Monday morning for a traffic violation. We hadn’t thought anything of it but after speaking to a friend who was in a similar situation we were referred to Ms Waltman and she immediately started helping with our case.
In the end, my girlfriend was able to keep the points off her license and insurance and Holly was a calming presence through the entire nerve-wracking process. We appreciate all the help and hardwork Holly provided and I will continue to refer anyone looking for the best attorney in Atlanta to reach out to her."
