About Paul
Biography
I have been a resident of Florida since 1975. I have been married since 1979 and have two daughters. One is married and she is an attorney in Tampa. The other is married and lives in New Hampshire. I am a member of Messiah Lutheran Church. I operate my business based upon Biblical principles and I welcome you as a client if you have an issue in my field of practice.
I graduated from the University of South Florida in 1979 with honors. While at Stetson College of Law, I received the Freshman Moot Court Outstanding Participant Award and the American Jurisprudence Book Award in Damages. I was an Associate Editor of the Stetson Law Review as well. I graduated from Stetson Cum Laude.
I received the Ted Millison Professionalism Award for 2006. This award is given to one attorney each year who exhibits the highest standards of ethics in their practice. I also am AV rated by Martindale Hubbell which is the highest rating possible.
My office is easily accessible with parking at the front door. My office is located one mile west of Interstate 275 on West Fletcher Avenue.
I look forward to helping you with your legal issues.
