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!!!

Best in town

I hired Paul for two of my cases I couldn't ask for a better lawyer. I highly recommend him. No drama always answered all my questions and concerns.

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.

The best criminal defense attorney

My family and I recently hired Paul Missan for legal representation on a criminal complaint filed against myself. Paul Missan was very precise, straight, and forward with me during my initial interview with him. He was very detail oriented and honest about everything he talked with me about which led... me to be as comfortable as I possibly could be. At my preliminary hearing, Paul Missan attacked the alleged complaint being held against me in every and all ways possible to clear me of a false conviction!!! He did a great job putting forth his best defense to ensure justice was served!!! I highly suggest Paul Missan to anyone!!

Client

Paul really helped save my life. I really messed up big time and Paul got me an ARD . After successfully completing the ARD - I now have a chance at a normal life. I'm back in college and I won't have a criminal record. He was readily available and always answered my calls. He's the best

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.
