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.

There when you need him

Mr. Lees was extremely helpful with negotiations that released me from negligence for an auto accident that would have cost me several hundred dollars for several years on my insurance. Mr. Lees took the time to carefully listen to my side of the story and applied the respective laws that helped rule... in my favor. He willingly gave this case extra personal time to ensure I won. I would recommend Mr. Lees' services to anyone out there looking to have the best possible chance of winning his/her case. He is professional, courteous and held in high regard in the courts and with his peers.

Contractor negliegence, title clearance

Attorney Lees professionalism, responsiveness, knowledge, and willingness to keep me informed throughout the entire process has been unmatched by any other attorney to date. When people ask who I would recommend, my first answer is Attorney Paul Lees. Had I engaged his services earlier in the proce...ss he would have prevented me from making a costly mistake of talking to an insurance appraiser before I cost myself a few thousand dollars with some innocent statements that I made to the appraiser, that the insurance company then twisted to their benefit. I have used Attorney Lees almost exclusively now for years, as a result of my first dealings with him, and will continue to do so. A lot can be said knowing you can trust your attorney to do what's right by you and not what is easiest for them to score a paycheck.

Condominium Association Dispute

I own a condominium in a multi-unit building that has several members in it's condominium association. One of the members of the association was ignoring mandates specific to the condominium documents which jeopardized the happiness of the tenant I was leasing my unit to. After a thorough review of m...y condo documents Paul Lees was able to quickly identify the specific issues where the other member was in conflict on the terms of the agreement. Paul Lees worked with me to customize a progression of letters to aggressively pursue an end to the conflict. Paul was able to assist me in ending the conflict after a brief correspondence with the problem association member. Paul was very knowledgeable and efficient in dealing with a very difficult situation. Paul was very careful to customize a solution that was in sync with my needs.
