This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best Advocate if you need one !!

Attorney Holland is very knowledgable in Securities Law and I was struck by his care and compassionate dealing with my case as he helped me through all the steps to prepare responses to the queries that were asked of me. I would not hesitate to recommend him wholeheartedly and hold him in very high e...steem.

Excellent Legal Consultation

Attorney Holland was very helpful with regards to my legal issue and his general knowledge of the law was quite impressive. Though I did not end up hiring him, he still went out of his way to research my case and even sent me a document which illustrated why my legal matter should not affect my caree...r. I would definitely hire him in the future for any legal matters that may arise.

Legal Advice vs. Large Financial Institution - Successful Outcome

Lee provided critical support to help me successfully challenge the improper execution of trades by a large financial institution. His support was critical to a favorable monetary settlement. He is extremely knowledgeable of regulations governing broker/client interactions, extremely responsive, pr...actical, and a pleasure to work with. Also very fair with his fee. I would not hesitate to refer Lee to anyone needing support with a legal issue especially focused on financial institutions/brokerage firms.

Very knowledgeable in his field, and very willing to help out a fellow attorney.

I had the opportunity to work with Lee on a case. He was quick to respond to me and was able to offer sound advice on a case that I was handling and needed direction on. He gave freely of his time to help me out, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to a client or a fellow attorney.

Lee was my David against Goliath...

My experience with Lee Holland occurred during a FINRA arbitration case I had initiated against one of the top five largest global financial institutions. My existing counsel was ineffective and failing against the vast legal resources of my opposition. The opposing party's team was comprised of ...senior members the institution's internal legal department and an international law firm they had additionally retained to litigate my case. The case dealt with complex investment compliance and regulatory laws and it was riddled with numerous legal maneuvers employed by the opposition to circumvent facts from being proven. When I brought Lee into the case, he took command quickly and restarted my case at discovery. He developed a clear and factually unassailable case which restored momentum and supported his offensive. We ultimately prevailed in a difficult case against formidable defense. I would highly recommend retaining Lee for matters involved with the financial investment industry. He is highly skilled in combining academic and forensic disciplines to resolve very complex matters.
