Everyone needs a lawyer like Paul

I met Paul at my BNI group and the first time I used his service, was just to revise a situation and give me some advice that he did with precision. On the second job, I brought Paul in to revise, advise and execute some contracts. Since the beginning, Paul always showed confidence, knowledge and ex...pertise on what he was doing. He negotiated the contract with the other part's lawyer bring to the table the best options to protect me and my partners. With his directions we were able to close the deal on a smooth transaction with the confidence that we needed. For sure Paul will be involved on any other transaction that I decide to get in to. Highly recommended!

Paul has been a valuable resource

Paul has been terrific to work with during my engagement. His legal knowledge, attention to detail, professionalism, and communication skills all stand out. With his help, I've closed several significant deals, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paul to anyone needing corporate counsel expertise.

Professional and great team!

We were having hard times working over the lease and the agreement but Paul and his team helped us with his professional and decent service. Highly recommend for new business owners.

General Counsel Help

Paul has done a great job preparing the complex entity formation documents for our company and all of the agreements with our staff, most of which required a lot of intensive negotiation and specialized drafting. He has routinely provided practical and useful legal advice to our company on various c...omplicated legal issues and has been instrumental in successfully growing our business.

President

Paul helped me draft an equity contract to give my employees equity in my company. He walked me through making hiring agreements, non-compete clauses, and various other related things. The best part was help with things I didn't know about. Sometimes you don't know what you need until an expert p...oints it out. That's what Paul did for me. He was great.

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.
