Exceptional individual and practice

Paul came recommended from a close friend. My wife and I are beginning the estate planning process for our growing family and we could not be more impressed with Paul's practice. Clearly he is very knowledgeable about the complicated world of wills, trusts, taxes and estate planning, and he was abl...e to simplify it in a way that made sense to us. He helped orchestrate our wills, trusts, and our advance directives. He was able to do it in a timely and professional fashion that we were impressed by. We plan on recommending Paul to friends and coworkers at similar stages in life.

Paul was very professional and friendly. He explained all that the trust we were consulting him about covered and made it easy to understand. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone needing legal advice on estate planning.

Retired

My wife and I have worked with a number of attorneys through the years . We are in our mid seventies. It was now time to select an attorney that would help us set up our estate for the distribution of our assets to our five daughters when we were no longer alive. He took the time to explain everythi...ng so throughly that we hardly had any questions, we had thought of, left un answered. We never knew that any lawyer would ever be this professional. Paul G. Holland is a must for any one person, couple or family to hire for complete peace of mind in estate planing. We now know we made a great decision hiring Paul.

Excellent Service! Exactly the outcome I was looking for!

Paul Holland provided me with excellent service.  Mr. Holland not only handled my case in the most professional manner but you could tell that he honestly cared about the outcome of the case.  Mr. Holland responded immediately to every question I had and he always kept me up to date on my estate plan....  He helped me achieve exactly the outcome that I was looking for and I'm truly grateful for all of the assistance.  I will not only use him again if ever needed, but I will recommend him to anyone that could use his services.

Extremely patient and informative

Paul was extremely patient and helpful to my husband and me while we were preparing our wills. He clearly answered all of our questions and didn't mind going over some matters several times until we fully understood them. We highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an honest and dedicated la...wyer.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
