I live out of state, and I needed to find and trust an attorney without being able to meet in person. Paul was that lawyer. I am a completely satisfied client. Paul did exactly what he said he would do and on time. He was confident in his abilities to handle my case throughout and was pleasant and...
"I endorse this lawyer.Paul is an outstanding young man, a careful, intelligent and efficient lawyer, an imaginative advocate,and a pleasure to work with. He is a particularly honorable man and I endorse him unreservedly."
"Paul and I worked together on a landlord/tenant issue which was heavily dependent on Maryland code interpretation and contract enforcement. Paul was "switched on" from the very beginning. As soon as he agreed to take the case, I received almost daily phone calls, not just emails but actual phone calls, from Paul himself regarding the progress he had made on the case. Never once did I feel in the dark and I was certain that Paul understood the facts at issue, the case law, and the applicable statutes. His preparation paid off in court as he confidently articulated our position and why the court should ultimately side with our purpose. I happily endorse Paul Balassa in any area of law he chooses to practice. From my experience, his clients are lucky to have him on their side."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is smart and handles clients the way every good attorney should. He knows his limitations and does an excellent job writing pleadings and briefs and arguments to the court. He is well respected by hiss peers and his client's return to him for repeat work on different matters. I have been practicing law for 44 years and I wish I handled cases and clients the way Paul does when I was younger. He is a "go-getter" keeps his client informed and knows his stuff and his limitations. If I needed an attorney or co-counsel I would choose Paul without any question or reservations."
"Without reservation, I strongly endorse Paul Balassa as a lawyer. Mr. Balassa provided me with invaluable assistance, insight and detailed knowledge of Maryland law that served as a primary factor in the positive result for our client. When legal issues and matters arise in Maryland, my first call is always to Paul Balassa."
"Paul is an outstanding attorney. Resourceful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable of the law. I highly recommend him to handle your legal matters."
