Great communication and service

I was referred to Paul Bennett by a friend when I needed a lawyer for a complex employment case. From the numerous conversations I have had with him, he is obviously a knowledgeable, experienced, respectful and straightforward attorney who is very skilled at explaining the complicated legal process a...nd costs involved. He has been prompt to respond to my questions and communications. His staff is also exceptionally friendly, professional, courteous, and also great at answering any questions I had.
