Never responds to emails or calls for appts

Very hard attorney to get updates from on your case. Doesn't call when you have scheduled appts.

Cares about his clients

Paul represented my interests aggressively and thoughtfully. I've used other law firms before but none that cared for the case or client like Paul. Will use this firm exclusively from here on in.

Paul DeLorenzo knows how to STRIKE!

I retained Paul Delorenzo after being arrested and charged. I had never even been in the police Station before and I was scared to death. Paul explained everything step by step and I instantly felt better. I was arraigned and my hearing was scheduled for 3 months down the road. I was going nutz. ... Paul was able to get my whole case dismissed by the judge in 9 minutes and 42 seconds. Paul STRIKES at the FIRST OPPORTUNITY! I asked Paul if my case was 100% over and he said 'It sure is'. Paul is an articulate and alert lawyer with all the experience you will ever need. And on top of that he's a real nice guy. If you know you really need help Call Paul DeLorenzo at 1 800 INJURED.

Paul Delorenzo Saved my life

Paul Definity safed my life. I hate talking about this personal matter, but I was indicted on 3 charges and re-indicted on 2 more. Paul took my case for 1/2 of what any attorney would think to take. He listened and believed in me, even though though i was facing up to 15 yrs in prison.Although I must... admit I was a headache, I knew I could beat the charges. He fought and advised me to be patient and not to take any offers. I listen and after 18 months of fighting these charges all the charges dismissed. If you think because he specializes in injury cases he not capable to handling crimmal cases, your dead wrong.

Paul DeLorenzo helped me at a very critical point in my life.

My life, and that of my husband's were forever changed the day I was severly and negligently injured in an automobile accident. From the onset, Paul scrutinized every detail of my case. Paul always made time for my questions and concerns. He always made himself accessible to my husband and myself... via e-mail, telephone (as it is difficult for me to get around as a direct result of the accident...even with my husband's help), and in person. Paul always gave me options and listened to what I had to say. He showed genuine concern and continually updated me about the progress of my case. Under his guidance, my case was won! Paul DeLorenzo helped me at a very critical point in my life. IF I WAS FORCED TO GO THRU THIS AGAIN...I WOULD WANT PAUL BY MY SIDE AGAIN. My husband and I thank Paul DeLorenzo with our whole hearts. If you seek a knoweledgeable, compassionate, friendly yet focussed attorney--Paul DeLorenzo is the attorney for you.
