Great Lawyer

I contacted Paul do handle a sensitive matter involving my disabled brother. He couldn't have been more accommodating, driving several miles a to meet with me at his nursing home. He was polite and caring and accomplish the task without any difficulty.

Excellent Experience

Paul was recommended to me by a colleague for estate planning. He was wonderful to work with. I worked with him again during an unexpected difficult time for my family and he went above and beyond for us. Not only is he good at what he does but he is caring.

Not responsive and expensive

We engaged Paul to settle an Estate. He was very difficult to get in touch with, never provided updates on the status of the case, we had to go to Probate Court to get necessary papers. He was friendly and nice on the phone, but must be way overworked as it took almost two years to settle a simple ...estate with a valid will..... I would not recommend him.
