Meet Our Real Estate Attorneys.

George Holler

Admitted in Connecticut and Massachusetts, with nearly two decades in real estate. Joined his mother's firm out of law school and built the practice from there.

Treats every closing like a puzzle. Buyers, sellers, realtors, lenders, the other attorney, the title company, the water company, the tax collector, all of them needing to cooperate. Loves the challenge of getting it right, day in and day out. The values he runs the firm on came from a high-school job at a Milford BBQ restaurant and another at Scribner's: lead by example, work hard, and always say "sure, we can do it."
