Origin

From Willcox to Flagstaff, Building a Litigation-Focused Probate Practice

Jared E. Holland was born and raised in Willcox, in southern Arizona, and earned his law degree from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. He relocated to Flagstaff in 2007 and built a broad early practice spanning civil litigation, probate, estate planning, business and contract law, bankruptcy/debtor representation, and family law. In 2012 he narrowed the firm’s focus specifically to probate litigation and estate administration — making it, per the firm’s own description, one of relatively few Arizona firms dedicated solely to that niche — and the firm has since expanded to a second office in Scottsdale. A credential clarification: Mr. Holland is described across multiple sources as a “licensed fiduciary, certified by the Arizona Supreme Court,” a genuine but distinct credential from the State Bar’s separate Board of Legal Specialization certification in Estate & Trust Law; this profile did not locate that specific BLS certification for Mr. Holland and does not use the word “specialist” to describe him for that reason, even though his practice is narrowly focused on this area.

Practice

Probate and Trust Litigation, With Guardianship and Family-Court Appointments

The firm’s current stated practice concentrates on contested probate matters (will disputes, personal representative misconduct), trust litigation (breach of fiduciary duty, trustee misconduct), and probate/trust administration guidance for both straightforward and contested matters. Separately from his firm caseload, Mr. Holland has served as a Coconino County Superior Court appointee representing children in high-conflict divorce cases and individuals facing guardianship or conservatorship petitions — court-appointed roles distinct from privately retained representation.

Track Record

Probate and trust litigation outcomes are not typically reduced to comparable settlement figures the way personal injury cases are; no independent case-result table was located in the sources reviewed for this profile.

Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.

Client Voice

No independently attributed third-party client reviews were located for Mr. Holland or the firm in the directories reviewed for this profile; that reflects a gap in the public record checked, not a claim about the quality of his representation.

Community

Mr. Holland has taught repeatedly as an adjunct professor of business law at Northern Arizona University, per his own professional materials, and serves as a Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore — both roles distinct from his direct client caseload.

Recognition

Mr. Holland’s Arizona Supreme Court fiduciary certification is a genuine, verifiable credential distinct from State Bar Board of Legal Specialization certification; this profile treats the two credentials separately and does not conflate them. His Judge Pro Tempore appointment and his Coconino County Superior Court appointments to represent children and individuals in guardianship matters reflect court-conferred trust rather than a marketing designation.

The Arizona Legal Backdrop

What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.

Arizona probate proceedings, including will contests and disputes over personal representative conduct, are governed by Title 14 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (the Arizona Probate Code). Guardianship and conservatorship proceedings for incapacitated adults, and the representation of minors in contested family matters, are likewise governed largely by Title 14 and Title 25 (for family court matters specifically), with courts retaining broad authority to appoint independent representation for vulnerable parties in these proceedings.

The Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Holland Law Group’s genuine differentiator is a deliberately narrow probate-and-trust-litigation focus combined with Mr. Holland’s Arizona Supreme Court fiduciary certification and his court-appointed roles (Judge Pro Tempore, child and guardianship representation) — a combination of practical courtroom trust that’s distinct from marketing-driven credentials. The honest caveat: this profile did not find a State Bar Board of Legal Specialization Estate & Trust Law certification for Mr. Holland, so readers should not assume his fiduciary certification is equivalent to that specific Bar-conferred specialist designation, even though both reflect genuine expertise in related but distinct ways.
