Great lawyer with the upmost regard for work ethic and quickness with flawless work

Paul did a great job putting together all the paperwork I needed to form my company. I was under the gun to get it done and he did it in the time I needed it to be done by. Paul has also helped some of my clients in regards to reviewing their lease documents and did a great job at that as well

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Paul Wilson for the better part of a decade. It’s not just Paul’s educational pedigree, which is top-notch; it’s not just his legal experiential pedigree, which is stellar; it’s not his family legal pedigree, which is rarefied (his father is a well-respected former senior partner of a large corporate law firm); rather, it’s the entire package from which the client benefits when hiring Paul, including his sharp business sense and practical approach. He melds legal advisor with business advisor, providing the best of both worlds in one professional."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Mr. Wilson for over fifteen years and thoroughly recommend him to any one in need of a corporate attorney. Mr. Wilson is active in the business community as a regular participant in a number of business organizations in and around the metropolitan New York City area. In that capacity, his service to his client base has been with the utmost care and attention to the needs and goals of the client. Moreover, I am unaware of an instance where the targeted goals of the representation were not acheived. In short, I cannot recommend Mr., Wilson's services enough and would strongly endorse his services to anyone in need legal services related to corporate formation and governance."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
