Posted by Chris | January 24, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Professional, courteous and on the ball!

From the minute I spoke to Mary Beth, my nerves were calmed. My son was facing very serious charges and as an 18 year old young man he was frightened as well. Between Paul and Mary Beth putting all effort into his case, after a month I was beginning to wonder if anything good was going to happen. ...After depositions, I received an email that the charges were being dropped. WHAT GREAT NEWS. All because of Paul's effort to get justice for my son. All because of Mary Beth's courteousness and professionalism and Paul's knowledge of the law, my son is a free man with a fresh slate.

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.
