Posted by anonymous | May 13, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Brilliant well connected attorney who will get you results!

I received a traffic citation that, if I was found guilty, would have cost me a 60-day license suspension. Ed Paskey had several approaches to my defense lined up and I walked away with no charge, points, fines, or license suspension. He's also very friendly and professional.

I made the right choice!

I came to Mr. Paskey to help me with troubles that were brought on. When i came to the firm, they welcomed me in and herd everything that i had to say. Mr. Paskey told me up front that he would like to help but could not promise anything, and also told me that he did not want me to hire him right awa...y, to go out and look at other lawyers to be sure. I knew from the beginning that i choose the right person for the job. During the entire process he kept me informed and made professional references as to what would be smart to do through the process (ex: hiring a court stenographer). In the end of everything he always made sure that i was doing okay and tried to work with me even when i lived out of state. When it came down to the final trial he worked his hardest to make sure that I was comfortable and that i remained calm. The trial came out in favor and i couldn't be more grateful that he handled my case and fought his hardest for me. I am forever grateful that he took time out of his busy days to handle my case. Thank You so much and peace be with you Mr. Paskey!

Fantastic Experience with Attorney Paskey

Ed Paskey helped and supported us through the details of the transaction to purchase our house. He was thoughtful, immediately responsive and continuously advising about our best interests in the process. We would certainly ask for his help and guidance in the future and strongly recommend his expe...rtise to others.

Ed helped us review a home owners sales agreement and purchase our new home from 'For Sale by Owner'

Ed helped us review, change and execute a sales agreement on a new home we purchased from a 'For Sale by Owner'. We wanted to ensure to have a fair agreement and one that protected our interests, Ed sat down with us to review the legal requirements and the sales contract. Ed helped us understan...d the legal language in simple terms and pointed out clearly any areas of concern. He helped us understand the necessary details to protect our interests. He went above and beyond what we asked and he continued following up to ensure we were satisfied and comfortable with his work. I felt Ed sincerely cared about our needs. He was also very clear about his fees which I found fair and reasonable. I highly recommend Ed and will definitely hire him again if his services are needed.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ed Paskey is a credit to the notion of an attorney as a counselor. He thinks proactively, ethically and creatively of ways to not only advance his client's best interests but to keep them at ease through the process. Beyond that, Ed is constantly thinking of ways to counsel the client as a person, rather than a billable transaction. He is a valued member of the profession and the community."

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.
