Mr. Green assisted us with clearing my husband’s record regarding four cases in Santa Clara County and San Benito County. He was professional and diligent throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Mr. Green to anyone looking to get their record cleared. His pricing is fair and honest

“I hired Holden Green ESQ for an issue that my son was going through in family court . Even though attorney Green knew little about family court he took our case with no promises and he was a beacon of hope for my son at a time when the options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Not only was he able to defend my son from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to myself and those I care about most. The outcome was better than expected and much favorable to my sons side. My son and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr Holden without reservation.” . I’d hire hired Holden Green ESQ again.”

I cannot begin to tell how thankful I am to be able to retain him !
It's been about 13 years now and he has saved me at least four times.
Just the other day , cops came up to the car and told me to get out . I immediately called him and put him on speaker.They saw a vape on the seat . Itold them that I didn't consest to a search and they insisted that they had probable cause. When he heard that , it even shocked me how quickly he shut them down. They were getting ready to arrest me for various things and could have.
He told me what to say right there and then. He told me that he couldn't say it and that I had to personally. He spoke slowly and I repeated what he was saying and the look on their faces ! They started putting things back in my car and backed away like vampires from sunlight. I've never seen anything like it. Even open containers!! I don't even remember what he was saying but they knew exactly what it meant. He even told them over the speaker that they should have known better from their training! I looked around and all but two were gone and they were very polite until they left too !
This isn't even the first or second time that just having him on the speaker saved me from a court date and bail and all that goes with it.
All they could say was "You lawyered up quick".
I would be sitting in a cell waiting for a phone call at their leisure.
I have never seen 5 cops back down and slink away like that. They knew they were violating my rights and would have beat the crap out of me , pumped up charges etc.
I'm still in awe...
Thank you Mr. Green.
I would have lost everything..

Holden Green is an unconventional yet highly effective attorney. His extensive experience and courtroom connections ensure your case receives the attention it deserves. He goes above and beyond for his clients; I witnessed this firsthand when he successfully resolved my partner's 8-year-old parole violation, allowing her to finally move on. I wholeheartedly recommend Holden Green.

Mr. Holden Green is an absolute breath of fresh air when it comes to attorneys. I had a pending case a few months ago and I was really worried on whether I needed to hire a lawyer or not - I called around and attorneys were quoting me $4000, $5000, etc.
Then I called Mr. Green.
Instead of being the typical "hire me, hire me" like everybody else, he actually advised me to wait a bit to see if my case would even get filed before I hired anyone. I took his advice, and the case ended up not even being filed, which saved me thousands of dollars. I was extremely impressed by this and his morals: instead of taking advantage of people's situations he remains calm and gives the best advice for THEM, not to fill his pockets like everyone else.
Mr. Green is a gem and the most honest, ethical, professional lawyer I've encountered. I would 100% trust him if I ever got in trouble again - you can't go wrong with this guy.
THANK YOU MR. GREEN!
