Endorsement

We were interested in establishing an Estate Plan and Paul was highly recommended by our financial advisor Jim Bates from Edward Jones. Paul’s expertise in this complex process made it flow seamlessly. His knowledge, patience and ability to explain complicated issues we could understand was apprec...iated. He always responded promptly to our calls & emails and answered all of our many questions. We wholeheartedly recommend Paul Holland . Thank You Paul! Diane & Chip

Estate Planning

I would highly recommend Paul Holland for your Estate Planning needs. Paul is very knowledgeable, efficient and a pleasure to work with. He is true to his word; he meets his deadlines. You’ll have the documents on the agreed upon time, without delay. I found Paul’s communication style easy to unde...rstand and how the various estate documents apply to my situation. There is no need to talk with multiple attorneys for your Estate Planning needs. Give Paul Holland a call, he is one of the best. As others have stated, Paul is professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable (experienced) and most important, a pleasure to work with.

Estate Planning

Our Estate Planning with Paul was a long overdue task to “get our affairs” in order. He made the experience easy to understand and he was supportive, knowledgeable and professional throughout the process. Paul is very personable, empathetic, and easy to work with. Maybe the best thing is his abili...ty to explain legal terms in layman's language. We will always seek for his help whenever the situation calls for a lawyer.

Knowledgeable, communicative, efficient

We are fully satisfied with the process and outcome of our estate planning with Paul. We chose him based on his expertise in trusts and estates law. You do not want a part-timer whose practice is mostly in criminal defense or real estate for your estate planning. From start to finish this took us les...s than a month for a process of moderate complexity.. Most of this was done remotely, by Zoom and phone. Paul is available and communicative. Alternative choices are fully explored, leading to decisions whose implications are clear, and in which we have confidence. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommend

He helped my husband and I with our estate planning with total professionalism. Being a 2nd marriage for each of us and both with children from previous spouses, it gets very complicated. Paul Holland helped us understand our options then created a plan that protects each other and our children. W...e are very pleased with the whole process and also very relieved that we finally did what we needed to do after years of procrastination. It was a pleasure working with him.

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.
