Execellent Christian Ethics

I missed the opportunity to study law, in 2000. After meeting him and his lovely family, my desire/dream was replanted. I will carry on his belief and attitude of working in an atmosphere of Christian ethics. Now on my way to a career in law. Yes, starting to study for the LSAT. Thank you kind g...entleman David Paul.

There ARE still good and decent lawyers..Just look at David Paul

David Paul is just that..a good and decent lawyer who conducts his business with the highest integrity. David worked on our case dealing with a loss due to a tornado. There is one part in this case that stood out. David wanted some information on building practices in the 90's and after an exhaus...tive search found the information in the library. The only thing, this library was not in town. That did not stop him, he sent his secretary to check out the book so he could gather the information needed for our case. He did things like this all through the case. This is just one example of his tenacity to find out the bottom line and get the facts out in court. I think on the rating there should be a field entitled Morality because it really defines a person. If it were on the overall rating, David would receive an excellent. Both his personal and professional morals match. Which is rare in our day and time. Since my wife and I lived through the ordeal of a tornado ramming through our house, we had some opinions on the case ourself. David listened to every one of our suggestions and took them into consideration. He did not treat them as just "dumb" ideas but weighed them with how they could be incorporated into the overall case. I have to admit, I went through a lot of yellow sticky pads and he treated each and every one with the same respect. In the court room he was a genius. I don't say that lightly because he calculated every step. And those steps that came out of left field were handled with his assuredness of the case. From the beginning to the end of the case David was steadfast and we knew he had our best interest at heart. If we ever had another case there would be no question about hiring David. Towards the end of our case when I saw how much he gave of himself and how hard he worked and fought, I knew that no matter what the outcome would be I could have not asked for more. David Paul started just as my lawyer but, today he is my friend.

"I endorse this attorney. His ethics, professionalism, and above all his deep knowledge of Florida personal injury law and damages, make him one of the top lawyers in Orlando, if not in all of Florida, in the personal injury field. He has a great easygoing personality which does not reduce, however, his passion and zest in fighting for his clients' rights and cases. He is of such good caliber that he has not had a need to recur to billboards and/or other circus-type-advertising as other lawyers to be able to obtain clients for his firm."
