Review Paul Holland

Paul has been very helpful in setting up wills and similar documents for me and my family. He is patient, well-informed and most importantly knowledgeable about the main considerations in this area. I would recommend him to others as well.

Made the right decision

I contacted Paul to assist me with my will and estate documents. He took the time to listen to my desires and provide suggestions based on his understanding of wills, POA, health care directives. He made a difficult task much easier and I would highly recommend him.

Protected Future with Ease

I hired Paul to prepare my will at the recommendation of a friend and was extremely satisfied with the experience. I was not familiar with the process of creating a will and he asked me all the right questions and took the time to focus on my unique child custody situation regarding my divorce. Pau...l really listened and then covered parts of the process I had not even considered. Paul was prompt and responsive in all of our communications. He is friendly and personable /easy to work with but also knows his business which gave me great confidence that my heirs will get theirs correctly so to speak should I check out unexpectedly.

Estate Planning & Education

My estate involves two past marriages, my second wife's death, trusts, stepchildren and my upcoming third marriage. Paul did a great job explaining the 'ins and outs' and potential scenarios that might occur, and then he customized our estate plan to our situation - no cookie-cutter stuff here! My ...fiance' and I were very pleased with his product and the fixed price approach for the completed package. Very thorough - first class job,

Estate Plan

Paul did estate planning for me and my wife – a complicated matter with significant net worth. He believes in working efficiently: for example, when doing an estate plan, he first has clients fill out a questionnaire, so he doesn't waste time going over basic information. When possible, he charges... a flat rate for the work – and sticks to it. He is also not dogmatic when it comes to process: if you have an idea for working more efficiently, he will try and accommodate you. Paul is digitally savvy, both in his own practice and on behalf of his clients. And he welcomes clients in nontraditional relationships. Finally, he has a good sense of humor and irony: something missing in a lot of attorneys ( of at least they don't exhibit it to their clients).
