The best in the business

I hired Attorney Paul Missan to help me with an upcoming case I had. It was very short notice. Called on Friday and my arraignment was Monday. He took care of everything. Went to the hearing a week later and Attorney Missan had the case DISMISSED! If you need a lawyer, don't hesitate to call Paul Mis...san!

Great lawyer!!

Paul was great!! I live in NY so I couldn't make it to my court date, called Paul and he was a able to get me a not guilty verdict without me even being present!!! So thankful for him and his secretary they were very helpful and transparent with everything and reasonable price thanks to him I was abl...e to keep my job and everything worked out perfect would absolutely use him again if needed too and would most definitely recommend him for any legal troubles!!!

My go to.....guy

Every time I have needed Paul he has always been a call away. I moved out of state about 10 yrs ago. But Paul always remembers me and my calls if nothing but advice he gives it honestly. I was kinda upset he didn’t get me off at first but looking back now it could have been much worse. I thank Paul f...or being a stand up lawyer, man, and friend. I highly recommend him and it’s not enough to just say lawyer. Paul is a stand up person..if it can be done Paul can do it.....thank you agai.

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.
