This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He saved me from a lengthy jail sentence, highly recommended

I had a pretty serious case, and the state had me hands down. I never in my wildest dreams thought I could get a reduction. Paul not only communicated with me the entire time, and was completely honest but he made sure that there were no surprises. He was able to do for me what no other attorney cou...ld do, he saved my life and I saw no time inside jail. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Lets be honest, it doesnt only matter where you went to school, but what matters in court is the attorneys knowledge of the law and how to mount the best possible defense, not to mention the lawyers ability to negotiate with prosecutors, Paul is a wizard at both. I had many options and through his guidance and his unrelenting work ethic, he literally saved my life. He not only helped me with my case, but he helped me get my life back on track. He really cares and thats a quality you can't pay for. Thanks Paul..

Consummate Professional

I engaged Paul Walsh after working with several other criminal attorneys in the area. Paul was a consummate professional who quickly reduced my very complicated case to the core issue and in a way that ensured an efficient resolution. He took the time to effectively counsel me and to listen to my c...oncerns. In the end, his experience and strategy yielded the best possible results. My only regret was not finding him earlier in this process. I recommend Paul without hesitation or reservation.

Paul Walsh is an exceptionally talented lawyer.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Paul Walsh as a client, and during the entire process he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. He is a lawyer of exceptional talent, and if you are choosing between him and another lawyer choose Paul. He will always keep your best interest... in mind, and effectively guide you through the situation.
