Holly Haeseler, Esq.

Holly Haeseler, Esq., is a New York- and Florida-licensed attorney seeking California licensure, with a multifaceted legal background spanning criminal law, contracts, securities, and business. She brings to Butler Law, PC a strong foundation in litigation, strategic problem-solving, and client advocacy.

Prior to relocating to the West Coast, Ms. Haeseler served as an Assistant District Attorney in Queens County, New York City, where she gained significant courtroom experience and advocated for victims of crime through highly sensitive and often traumatic circumstances. Her ability to remain composed in high-stakes situations while approaching clients with empathy has translated naturally to family law, where effective representation requires both sound legal strategy and an understanding of the deeply personal issues at stake.

Ms. Haeseler’s experience also extends beyond the courtroom. She previously worked for Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch in New York City and later co-founded a technology consulting firm on the West Coast. This combination of legal, financial, and entrepreneurial experience provides her with a well-rounded perspective when approaching the complex financial and practical considerations that can arise in family law matters.

Ms. Haeseler earned her Juris Doctor cum laude from Stetson University College of Law, where she was a member of the nation’s #1-ranked Trial Team. She placed first in a Florida Trial Lawyers competition and was a finalist in Georgetown’s National White Collar Crime competition. She also studied International Law in Tallinn, Estonia.

Outside of her practice, Ms. Haeseler is a mother of six—three humans and three cats. She enjoys reading and writing thrillers, reality television, beekeeping, hiking, and snorkeling in La Jolla.
