Thanks to attorney Jeff C Paulk I was able to get back to my loved ones and my community. I was involved in a criminal offense that could have become a nightmare. Although I am not from Florida and he was referred to me; he was straight forward from the beginning keeping me informed of all possible outcomes. But thanks to his hard work and dedication I got a second chance.
Jeff was courteous, professional and took time to listen to the specifics of my case from the very start. He and Connie from their team always returned calls promptly, and kept me apprised of the latest developments as the case progressed. He worked diligently on my behalf and got results. Can't say enough good things about this attorney. Highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for sharp, compassionate and dedicated counsel.

Best in Tampa.
Very patient and kind. For someone (me) not knowing anything about the legal system and procedures, he was very knowledgeable. Even when I would call numerous times and ask the same questions, he and the office staff were always professional and comforting. Highly recommended. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case.

Jeff Paulk awesome attorney!
Mr. Jeff Paulk helped my sister and I to have an old case thrown out very easily! We have not resided in the state of Florida for many years and had a warrant for a case that he was able to handle for a minimal price. I highly recommend Jeff Paulk as an attorney! Definitely worth the money and he is right on top of his game!

THE Best Attorney in Hillsborough County!!
I was arrested and charged with a felony. Mr. Paulk had the charges reduced to a misdemeanor during bond court and I was ROR'ed, and then eventually dismissed altogether...note, I did not say charges were dropped, case dismissed! I could sit here and type accolade after accolade and it still would not do justice to the professionalism and knowledge this attorney brings to the table.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I have known Jeff for over ten years. We were assigned to the same courtroom when he was a prosecutor and I was an assistant public defender back in 2000-2001; and we tried many cases against each other. Jeff is an excellent attorney who has strong trial skills, common sense, and a good relationship with the prosecutors at the State Attorney's Office. I strongly endorse him."

He is an excellent attorney and strong advocate for his clients. If I needed an attorney, I would not hesitate to call on Jeff."
