Client

Paul dell is a very good attorney. Paul works to get his clients the best outcome possible. I wish I could have recommended Paul to another friend of mine, however they could not afford to pay him . He represented my friend Joseph ward and did a great job. Thank you for your hard work Paul. We apprec...iated you. God bless you .

Terrible attitude, very unprofessional

Very unprofessional, he wanted me to plead out and cooperate with law enforcement without even trying to fight the case hollered at me over the phone a few times because I was inquiring about my case and freedom, he’s money hungry so I advise no one to retain him personally

Replied last March 23, 2020

I do not know who "Client Anonymous" is. That person is free to talk to me anytime. I do not remember hollering at anyone over the phone. That is not how I operate. With regard to cooperation, I am ethically obligated to explain all options to a client - and sometimes cooperation is an option that should be strongly considered - one needs to balance it against safety and street dynamics - along with the strength of the case and what plea disposition is being offered without cooperation. I always fight a case while at the same time keeping my ears open with regard to other dispositions that make sense. I always take the time to explain all options to my clients. A review of my website (paulgdell.com) shows that I have won many cases at the trial level and at the suppression level. However, it is often in my clients' best interest to accept a plea disposition. I do my best to tell it like it is. I am not money hungry over any particular case - that is bad for business in the long run.

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.
