Paul was hired for a family member and has done a great job Paul is understanding of people and the hard times they go though and will work hard for you very understanding and will do all he can to help just ask and he will do his best ive hard form others that he does a great job we really have no a...nd I mean No complaints about his work other than the time it takes to get in the court room but that has to do with the city of Philadelphia not the lawyer

The worst

Doesn't care about the client. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone. He will probably remove this review. You get what you pay for.

Great lawyer

I'm very happy to have Paul as my lawyer. He fights for what is right. Losing is not an option. When a wrench is thrown into our (his) plans, Paul finds another way around it.

I Recommend

Paul, is knowledgeable of the law. He is very understanding. In dealing with a time of uncertainty, Paul is very fair and honest. I can share with him ideas, concerns, and issues, he will give suggestions ( a solution ); in turn, can result in the best outcome.

Dedicated

Paul was a very dedicated lawyer, I hired him for a close friend of mines' who needed a good Defense attorney and fast. He immediately started on the case and doing his evidence investigation. He was not motivated by money like most Defense attorneys as he worked with me when it came to a price. He n...ever once gave up on his client and always kept us informed and never just agreed with us because we were paying him, but he gave us critical advice in reference to what is best even if we did not agree with him. The most important is he is honest which you don't find often in lawyers nowadays.
