Litigation 80%

I focus my practice on litigation in the Pennsylvania Orphans' Courts involving fiduciaries of all kinds, including guardianships, the conduct (or misconduct, as the case may be) of agents under a power of attorney, will contests, disputes between beneficiaries and Executors or beneficiaries and Trustees and disputes between or among Agents, Executors or Trustees. If you need a litigator in the Orphans' Court, then you should speak to me. I also handle commercial litigation matters.

Vital Characteristics of an Exceptional Attorney

Timothy J. Holman, Esq. demonstrated the vital and essential characteristics of an exceptional attorney. Mr. Holman masterfully centered his focus on our needs, goals, and objectives as he sought justice for us. Mr. Holman thoroughly and methodically gathered background information to build a founda...tion for our case.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked with Tim Holman over many years in a large firm litigation department and in a smaller boutique practice on a variety of commercial law and litigation matters. Since then, he has developed a strong practice in fiduciary litigation in Pennsylvania Orphans Court dealing with trusts, estates and inheritance issues. He is a strong and very capable advocate. He is bright, experienced and has good judgment. He gets along well with other attorneys. I strongly recommend him for fiduciary litigation and civil litigation matters."

Avvo Rating

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.
