Real estate equity

I worked with Attorney Lees to obtain a fair split of the equity in a home that I co-owned for 14 years. He successfully navigated many unexpected circumstances with professionalism and care. Although we wound up having to file a lawsuit, which could have prolonged obtaining a settlement for years, A...ttorney Lees was able to resolve the case within months instead. I recommend Attorney Lees for his professionalism, knowledge, thoroughness, persistence, and humor - which was needed often in this case.

Very easy to work with, knowledgeable and professional!!

Paul is a very down to earth guy that’s easy to work with, very knowledgeable and he builds a very solid case by showing all the facts , disproving false claims and by doing his job and doing it well. He was able to get back money that was rightfully mine. Couldn’t of asked for a better lawyer to... work with and I would highly recommend him!

A lawyer that will fight for you.

I was struck near a crosswalk by a police cruiser responding to an emergency in November of 2014. It was nighttime and there was light rain. My head was split wide open and required twelve staples to close. I met with several attorneys and no one would take the case. Then I met with Paul Lees one... week before the two year anniversary and he agreed to investigate and file suit if necessary. He filed suit and the case got stronger and stronger. We settled at mediation and I am very satisfied with his representation. I highly recommend Paul.

Hit and Run accident

In July of 2017 my son Alex was struck while riding his bicycle. Alex was thrown from his bike and was sent to the hospital via ambulance, the vehicle left the scene. We later learned the identity of the operator as the police department found the operator and issued a citation. We contacted Atty. Pa...ul Lees the next day for advise and he was great from that day until the settlement. He kept us abreast of all things associated with this case including court dates, doctors visits and dealing with any outstanding bills. He was upfront and honest and copied us any any and all communications dealing with Insurance Company. I would highly reccomend Attorney Paul Lees to anybody looking for an honest and dependable lawyer who will act in the best interests of his client.

Knowledge of the law

Paul Lees was outstanding in respresenting me. My case was first heard in small claims court where I won. The defendant decided to appeal in front of a judge. Also, the defendant had an attorney from the beginning. At this point I decided to hire Paul Lees. Best decision I could have made. Afte...r the first appeal was heard, and I won again, it became a nightmare in court. Paul handled the next few appearances in court with all the knowledge and confidence needed. At the end I finally received my money. Thank you Paul. I highly recommend him.
