Excellent attorney

Paul represented us in a suit against our home builder. He was thorough and very responsive to our many questions. When we discovered water damage including mold in our new home, Paul's local network was instrumental in determining the extent of damages and costs for remediation. We were very satis...fied with the outcome of our litigation.

Excellent Legal Counsel

Attorney DeHolczer does an excellent job of getting great results. Not only does he get results, but keeps the client informed of what is happening each step of the way, Thereby reducing the level of anxiety one experience during a trying situation. I would certainly work with him again.

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.
