the firm’s history
continues on from Willis and Connelly, P.C.
After Kent Willis joined the firm on the early 80s, Dave Lass subsequently joined the 7th Judicial District bench as county court judge and then district court judge. In 2000, the firm became known as Callan & Willis, PC. Dennis Callan retired from the firm in 2003, and subsequently started a mediation practice. At that time, the firm became known as Willis & Associates, P.C. In 2008, Michael Connelly joined the firm, which is now known as Willis & Connelly, P.C.
For well over a decade, Willis & Connelly has made a name for itself in the fractional ownership market. We have worked closely with a number of real estate brokers who specialize in the sale of fractional ownerships. We prepare all of the necessary documents to establish a fractional ownership arrangement, as well as providing information regarding financing and structuring these agreements.
