Services
They're the items you likely have at the top of your list when you're looking for attorneys in Orlando or throughout Central Florida. At the Holden & Darby law firm in Tavares, Lake County, FL, we use our deep legal experience and knowledge to provide ethical and effective representation for all of our clients.
Thomas Holden is an attorney who helps clients involved in family-law litigation cases. Mr. Holden handles all aspects of family law cases from consultation to conclusion. Prior to starting Holden & Darby, P.A., Mr. Holden attended Nichols College and received his Bachelor's degree in Accounting. He then went on to study Law at Nova Southeastern University, receiving his Juris Doctor in 1982.
The professionals at Holden & Darby dedicate their practice to aiding individuals and families with legal documentation and representation. We handle a variety of Family Law cases ranging from divorce to domestic violence/injunctions. Going through a divorce can be stressful and take a toll on your emotions- it is not a time that you want to be alone.
Can I change my divorce settlement? It's a question we hear often at the Holden & Darby law office from our clients. Whether you live in Clermont, Tavares, Orlando or anywhere in Lake County or Central Florida, our divorce settlement modification attorneys can help you find the right answer.

If you're like most people, you know your divorce process - and the process for finalizing your divorce settlement (called a marital settlement agreement in Florida) - was likely filled with tough negotiation.Yet circumstances change. Your children may be growing older. You may need to move or switch jobs.
While you may thing family law focuses solely on divorce, it also includes a very unfortunate side of life - domestic violence. Unfortunately, spouses (and former spouses) are the primary targets of domestic violence. In Florida, domestic violence has two elements - there must be an overt act or threat, and that act must be committed against someone with whom the aggressor has a familiar relationship.

Mr Darby , right from the start and all the way to the end of our adoption case. which ended in my name on the birth certificate of ( MY) two children .
Mr. Darby and his staff followed up with me through phone calls and emails during the whole process. They were always available to answer any questions.
We were always kept updated on the progress of our case. I would recommend Holden and Derby.
I give them six stars

I had Mr.Paul Darby for my custody case and not only did he help me get my daughter back but made me feel extremely comfortable from the very start, beginning with laying out different scenarios that could play out depending on which judge was on the case. Once it came down to the nitty gritty mediation My emotions were scattered everywhere but once again with Mr.Darby ‘s down to earth & mellow personality I was again calm for the whole process while getting my demands met and exceeded. Overall AMAZING FIRM , also for preparation Mrs.Kelly was completely HELPFUL as well explaining items such

Thomas Holden was my 3rd attorney in my divorce case. I felt he did what he said he was going to do and didn't drag it out to try and take all my money. I've used him since for my company and will use him again for my estate and will planning, great firm.
