Extremely helpful

Paul was terrific. He handled this from me out of state. It was an on-going process but he kept me informed and was on top of things from the start. He was very realistic in his consultation and didn't over promise but in the end he achieved the most optimal result for my case. I very much appreciate...d this. I couldn't be happier and would recommend his services to everyone.

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.
