Psychologist and Co-Director

My business partner and I retained Paul for a small business merger to grow our health care practice, and were fully delighted with his service. Paul supported us every step of the way, explaining things clearly and helping us tremendously. He was highly practical and hands-on, walking us through all... of the important considerations in merging with another small business. He was always available, timely, and responsive. He is a consummate professional, displaying outstanding knowledge not only of the law but also of the practical considerations in pursuing a merger. He has excellent communication skills and is patient, kind, calm, and interpersonally lovely. He earned our complete trust and we give him our highest recommendation.
