I endorse this lawyer, Paul has been a colleague of mine for quite a few years. I have tried multiple cases against him, only to find him a formidable adversary. Paul is always prepared and very zealous in representing and putting his clients best interest first. A super attorney that I would highly recommend.

I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Paul at my current firm before he started his own practice. I was impressed with his knowledge, his compassion for the difficult situations faced by his clients, and his practical approach to resolving his client's problems. His AVVO rating and board certification in marital and family law are evidence of his experience and knowledge and are well deserved.
