My experience with Paul Himmel always brings a smile to my face. He was always accessible, professional and friendly. He interpreted the "legalese" and made things very easy to understand. This was my first major accident case and his attention to detail was the key in me reaching a very good settlem...

Always prepared for court and ready for battle.
Words cannot express my gratitude and the journey traveled with my attorney Paul Himmel. Being injured on the job and out of work was the lowest point of my life. But then there was Paul. His professional guidance and support assured me there would be an end to my pain, heartache and disappear. ...

I think 1 star is even too much
He never pays attention to exactly what your trying to explain to him.I was very emotional during my consultation and he could care less.He was more worried about dollar signs.If I didn’t have a case thats fine but he was constantly on his phone while I was telling him about my case.Very disrespectfu...
This nice woman called me on my cell phone to discuss whether she had a case. I was out of the office for two days, however my calls are forwarded to my cell phone. During our phone consultation, I did accept a few phone calls that I unfortunately could not ignore . She is correct that I told her that if we pursued a claim on her behalf that I did not believe we would be awarded money and therefore I was not willing to represent her. Please know that it was not my intention for her to leave our consultation feeling disrespected.

Mr. Himmel promised to get me fair compensation after a work accident left me unable to continue working. He appeared completely credible and trustworthy but ended up swindling me and threatening to sue for extra compensation. I would not recommend him, and would avoid at all costs for any loved one....
Reading this review is the first time I am learning that one of our clients believes that we did not represent them in a professional and competent manner. I have dedicated the last 26 years of my life to representing and defending the rights of working men and women. Every client is treated with the utmost respect, professionalism and honesty. I cannot imagine a scenario where a client of ours would ever feel swindled or not treated fairly. We prosecute our cases effectively and efficiently. If the defendants present settlement offers and our clients agree to accept the offer, then their case settles. If the settlement offer is not forthcoming or is too low, then we take the case to trial and allow the judge or jury decide the case. We have a very good track record of settling and winning cases. I encourage the reviewer to contact me at anytime.
