"I have litigated motions and trials against Paul, and find him to be highly knowledgeable, skilled, professional and with a sharp and nimble mind that makes him a very effective trial lawyer. Paul will make any opposing lawyer work hard and pay attention, but not because he pulls any sneaky or 'slimy' moves. He makes one work because he's very good at what he does and comes well-prepared to court. At the same time, Paul remains cordial and professional and has never turned on any offensive personality or gotten 'moody' during or following a case. Glad I know him and I never cringe when he's on the other side of a case. I would recommend Paul to any client I couldn't represent, and without hesitation."
