      Review Paul Kunberger

      Amazing Lawyer

      Posted by

      Paul has been my go to lawyer for all personal and business legal needs for over a decade and I seriously can't recommend him enough. He charges completely reasonable fees, and I have never had a bad experience with him as my general counsel.

      Great Advice !

      Posted by

      I signed up for consultation with Mr. Paul Kunberger though AVVO. I was in the middle of a very difficult/different custody trail. I could not afford an attorney to represent me at the appeal which would be tried De Nova. He gave me great insight of what I needed to focus on for VA custody factors. I went on to represent myself against 2 lawyers with confidence and won sole legal and physical custody. He was an amazing lawyer with an abundance of information. If I could of paid to have him representing me I would of just to save myself from all the fear I had. Honestly he helped calm all of that just by answering my questions and reminding me of what my focus should be on. I can not thank him enough!

      Paul was referred to me by my friend when I was going through some difficult legal issues. He was very patient and kind during all my interactions with him. I felt as though he actually cared about me as a person. I truly appreciate his counsel in my time of need, and recommend him to anyone seeking expert counsel.

      Wonderful phone consultation

      Posted by

      Mr. Kunberger was very informative and really took the time to try to understand the difficult and bizarre situation I am in. He helped me to understand what motions I need to make and gave me a few helpful tips to help better my chances. If he traveled to my area I would definitely seek his counsel! Thank you Mr. Kunberger!!

      I felt like a priority

      Posted by

      I paid for 15 minutes of his time to talk about my custody case but, he spoke to me about my situation until all of my questions were answered. Hes the kind of lawyer that makes you feel like a priority and not just a check. I would love to hire him if he traveled to Stafford, VA.

      Paul is undoubtedly a top notch attorney who has skillfully mastered his primary area of practice over the course of his professional experience. His sharp critical thinking and flawless work ethic are perhaps the key qualities which ensured the success of a remarkable number of his cases. I endorse this lawyer and encourage anyone who needs superior legal representation to opt for his services.

      Sarah Condor, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 18, 2017
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Paul is an excellent attorney with a broad scope of expertise. His responses on AVVO are clear, understandable, grounded in fact and supported by law. He also invariably adds details from his own experience in criminal defense, dealing with insurance companies etc., which considerably facilitates the explanation and no doubt helps clients resolve the issue. His grasp of law and procedure is second to none. Great attorney!

      Gregory Stone, Business Attorney on Dec 2, 2016

      Melvin Yeamans, General practice Attorney on Oct 8, 2015
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I endorse this lawyer. Paul is a great advocate for his clients. He thinks "outside the box" and has very keen ability to hone in on unexpected issues. I personally run a lot of ideas past Paul because of this. He's personable, diligent and he develops a great rapport with his clients.
