Meet J. Patrick Holahan, II

Estate Planning Lawyer in Kennett Square, PA

For over 40 years, I’ve helped families in Kennett Square, Chester County, and throughout Pennsylvania protect what matters most — with honesty, clarity, and care.

A Local Lawyer Who Truly Knows Chester County

Since opening my practice in Kennett Square in 1993, I have spent more than 40 years helping families plan for the future, navigate probate, protect their savings, and make sure their wishes are honored.

What started as a small general practice has grown into a trusted resource for estate planning, elder law, veteran benefits, and more — always with the same personal approach. I still meet with every client myself, answer every call, and treat every family like my own.

Why I do this work: I believe when choosing a lawyer, you should choose wisely. That means choosing someone who listens, explains things clearly, and truly cares about your family’s peace of mind. That’s the standard I’ve held myself to for over four decades.
