Question 1

What states do you practice in?

Accepted Answer

We represent clients in Idaho, California, Texas, Washington, and North Carolina, with offices and licensed counsel in each state.

Question 2

Do you offer free consultations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Initial consultations are complimentary and can be scheduled by phone or through our online form. Submitting a contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship; that relationship begins only after a written engagement letter is signed.

Question 3

Do you work with veterans and military families?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As a U.S. Army veteran, attorney Michael J. Holmes has a personal commitment to serving fellow veterans and active-duty military families with estate planning, business formation, and real estate matters.

Question 4

Can one attorney really handle work across five states?

Accepted Answer

Multi-jurisdictional practice requires admission in each state where legal services are provided. Attorney Michael J. Holmes is licensed in Idaho, California, Texas, Washington, and North Carolina, which allows us to coordinate strategy across all five jurisdictions under one roof.

Question 5

What is the difference between a deferred sales trust and a 1031 exchange?

Accepted Answer

Both are tools to defer capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated assets. A 1031 exchange allows reinvestment into like-kind real estate within strict timelines. A deferred sales trust uses an installment-sale structure that offers broader reinvestment options.
