Biography

Vince Holzhall spends his time solving problems for his clients. Clients appreciate Vince’s ability to provide solutions, usually involving unique areas of the law. Vince is often sought by clients wishing to avoid costly and lengthy lawsuits, but he is no stranger to contentious litigation. He puts his skills to use representing banks, institutions of higher education, energy companies, and others. Recently, Vince used his litigation and management skills to assist a private liberal arts college to enforce a pledge agreement and assist a multidistrict litigation client to transfer over 100 Ohio matters into the MDL. Vince’s calming nature is a benefit to clients as he guides them through complex litigation matters, as well as administrative processes.
