Never responds to emails or calls for appts

Very hard attorney to get updates from on your case. Doesn't call when you have scheduled appts.

Cares about his clients

Paul represented my interests aggressively and thoughtfully. I've used other law firms before but none that cared for the case or client like Paul. Will use this firm exclusively from here on in.

Paul DeLorenzo knows how to STRIKE!

I retained Paul Delorenzo after being arrested and charged. I had never even been in the police Station before and I was scared to death. Paul explained everything step by step and I instantly felt better. I was arraigned and my hearing was scheduled for 3 months down the road. I was going nutz. ... Paul was able to get my whole case dismissed by the judge in 9 minutes and 42 seconds. Paul STRIKES at the FIRST OPPORTUNITY! I asked Paul if my case was 100% over and he said 'It sure is'. Paul is an articulate and alert lawyer with all the experience you will ever need. And on top of that he's a real nice guy. If you know you really need help Call Paul DeLorenzo at 1 800 INJURED.

Paul Delorenzo Saved my life

Paul Definity safed my life. I hate talking about this personal matter, but I was indicted on 3 charges and re-indicted on 2 more. Paul took my case for 1/2 of what any attorney would think to take. He listened and believed in me, even though though i was facing up to 15 yrs in prison.Although I must... admit I was a headache, I knew I could beat the charges. He fought and advised me to be patient and not to take any offers. I listen and after 18 months of fighting these charges all the charges dismissed. If you think because he specializes in injury cases he not capable to handling crimmal cases, your dead wrong.

PAUL DELORENZO SAVED MY CAREER

I retained Paul DeLorenzo in the summer of 2008. I was faced with a sexual descrimination suit, and clutched no illusions as to the seriousness of the situation. As a fellow professional I know how to establish goals and work towards achieving them. I also know how to distinguish those professiona...ls who are truly exceptional in thier fields of endeavor. PAUL DELORENZO IS JUST THAT. He was able to look beyond the obvious and found the truth. I would like to whole heartedly thank Paul DeLorenzo. He saved my career.
