Paul Holland was a pleasure to work with. He has excellent inter personal skills. Paul obviously has first class command of his subject in the field of Wills, Trusts etc., but still was able to communicate with us in a readily understandable way. He came up with some interesting solutions in our part...icular situation, and the resultant documents were beautifully prepared. His office environment is professional, yet pleasant. In summary Paul is a class act, and we can enthusiastically recommend him.

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.

Totally Satisfied

I recently retained Paul Holland to do an estate plan for me. My husband recently passed away and I also needed help with the Probate process. I had so many questions and concerns and Paul explained everything in a way I could understand. He is easy to talk with and I am very comfortable working w...ith him. I absolutely recommend Paul.

Review of Paul Holland

Following the death of my husband, my children and I had numerous estate questions which Paul answered with patience and kindness. He was and is always available to handle every matter, and he made the process understandable at every step. Additionally, he worked with me to update my will and estab...lish the legal documents I wanted. Throughout all of this, Paul has ensured that what he does reflects what I want and need.

Professional with a great personality!

After meeting with Paul to setup a Trust for my family, I was very impressed how my calls were immediately returned and all my questions were explained in terms I could understand. I thought this process would be long and extensive, but Paul made it easy and I would highly recommend his services. ...

  • 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.
