I first contacted Paul and he reviewed documents to be submitted as evidence for submission with my BCNR request. I hired Paul because he was very knowledgeable, diligent, studious and insightful. Throughout the process I was always able to contact Paul for any questions or concerns that I had. I... will recommend Paul to anyone I know who is looking for legal representation or legal advice. Paul is an excellent attorney.

While all 14 places I called either requested a some form of consultation fee to even begin or did not have the knowledge, Paul called me back after hours to hear my story. He listened attentively and , while his practice background was different and was not totally familiar with the regulations, he ...promised me he will review the regulations and call me back. He got back to me in a very timely fashion and provided me optimal solution to move forward. Although my case did not have any substantial damages that could be a cut for the firm, he went above and beyond with minimal flat rate fee. I actually came on top, with better results than i expected so I am very satisfied and I think he is very deserving of the payment that I made; if not more. He was very helpful in every sense, from beginning to end - I am not sure what else I can say about him but I just want to assure 5 star rating and you can not go wrong! Thank You Paul.

He is always one step ahead!

I can only express my gratitude for his dedication and outstanding service. He always seems to be one step ahead of the process. It was my luck to have found this man and he will continue to represent me as my sole attorney. Thank you for the hard work and dedication to my case.

Excellent attorney. Very knowledgeable. Reliable and follows up.

Captain Murray with the Marine Corps JAG office handled my concerns with the utmost respect. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything I needed to know about my divorce. After I left he was accessible for follow up questions. I was able to avoid costly attorney... fees and still get everything I was entitled to out of my divorce thanks to Capt Murray. I hope I don't have anymore legal issues, but if I do, I'll take them to him first.

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.
