Comprehensive Estate Plan

Paul was very attentive listening to our personal situation and then tailored the Estate Plan, including Wills, Trusts, and Healthcare, to our family's needs. Paul is very personable, empathetic, and easy to work with. Maybe the best thing is his ability to explain legal terms in layman's language,... demystifying the process. We look forward to working with Paul over the coming years

Exceptional individual and practice

Paul came recommended from a close friend. My wife and I are beginning the estate planning process for our growing family and we could not be more impressed with Paul's practice. Clearly he is very knowledgeable about the complicated world of wills, trusts, taxes and estate planning, and he was abl...e to simplify it in a way that made sense to us. He helped orchestrate our wills, trusts, and our advance directives. He was able to do it in a timely and professional fashion that we were impressed by. We plan on recommending Paul to friends and coworkers at similar stages in life.

Estate Planning

Paul was very professional and friendly. He explained all that the trust we were consulting him about covered and made it easy to understand. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone needing legal advice on estate planning.

Exceptional partner for estate planning

We highly recommend Paul to help with estate planning. My husband and I have complex assets, that left us paralyzed with even starting the process for over a year. Upon contacting Paul, he simplified everything, educated us on what we needed to do, has been readily available to answer any questions a...nd helped us tackle this huge responsibility. I have nothing but praise and gratitude to him and would recommend Paul to all of my friends. I get the sense that he can tackle any matter of complexity in this area. If you are overwhelmed by the task ahead, save yourself time and call Paul.

Attention to Detail, With an Eye on the Big Picture

I am a fellow attorney who has engaged Paul on 3 different occasions over the years to prepare a new will and related estate plan for me (as a client). Each time, I had an excellent experience with Paul. Paul provides exceptional quality, while also offering an excellent value. Paul's knowledge and p...rofessionalism instill instant confidence. His demeanor and communication skills instill an instant comfort level with difficult subject matter. Paul is held in very high regard by his peers, and he is the T&E attorney that many other attorneys engage for their own trust work with full confidence, when the need arises.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
