Excellent Service

Paul is a fine lawyer who provided us excellent service as our probate attorney. Although we reside out of state, he was able to expedite all our affairs on a timely and efficient basis. A true professional and credit to his profession, we recommend him highly!

Paul Wolf. The BEST attorney in Buffalo NY!

Paul & Cheryl are amazing!!!! In the past, I have been extremely disappointed with the attorneys I have hired over the many years of nasty court battles with my ex. Paul changed all that, not only did he listen to my concerns, he takes the time to explain the way the court works and the legal jargon.... I have never had that from any other attorney. His rates are wonderful and I know he has done a lot more work than he charged me for. I will defiantly hire Paul again in the event I should need a attorney.

Meacham vs Meacham

I can't say enough about Mr Wolf and how he handled my Qdro arrears. I intend to keep him as my personal attorney. He is a wonderful caring person.

Mr. Paul Wolf Esq...an attorney who cares about his clients.

After nearly six years bogged down in an overly litigated and expensive divorce proceeding, and having lost faith in my first...and then second attorney; it is suffice to say that I had nearly given up on the legal profession. But, in the legal business...as in show business..."the show must g...o on" and I still needed legal council. It was then that good fortune came my way and Mr. Paul Wolf Esq. was recommended to me. At our first meeting, he told me what to expect and made no attempt to fill my head with unreasonable expectations. I appreciated that and retained him as my legal council. Since then, Mr. Wolf has proved himself to be extremely competent, knowledgeable, fair, hard working and a pleasure to talk to when the need arose. He wrapped up my "messy" divorce and succeeded in mending my destroyed faith in his profession. Thanks to Mr. Wolf, I am now divorced, not financially ruined, and living "happily ever after". In addition, he is pro-active in his community and his hard work in this endeavor is in keeping with his fine character. In closing, let me say that Mr. Wolf is also the type of man that one could enjoy a drink with at the end of the day...and that is something that can't be taught in Harvard Law School. Without reservation, I highly recommend the legal services of Mr. Paul Wolf ESQ.

Professional Guidance with a Personal Touch

Paul Wolf first assisted us 2 years ago with estate matters of a personal nature . From our first meeting with him we felt very comfortable. He imparted his knowledge and guidance to us in a personal way that eliminated any questions/concerns that we had. He spent time with us answering questio...ns and guiding us through the legalities of wills, proxies, POA's, etc. We returned with an elderly relative last year and as expected he handled all matters in a courteous & professional manner.

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.
