About the Firm
A small practice, by design.
Hollis & Vale Law was founded on a simple belief: that thoughtful, attentive lawyering is best delivered by a single attorney who knows every detail of your matter. Clients meet the person who will represent them on day one — and continue working with that same person through resolution.
The firm draws on more than fifteen years of New York practice across housing court, family court, and immigration proceedings. That breadth matters: legal problems rarely arrive in tidy categories, and clients benefit from counsel who can see the whole picture.
Above all, the firm believes in honest expectations. You will hear a candid assessment of your case, a clear explanation of fees, and direct communication at every stage. No jargon, no padded invoices, no surprises.
