About Paul
Biography
My passion has been assisting clients across the Commonwealth of Kentucky since 2011. I make myself personally available to each and every client regardless of their issue. I handle criminal and family law cases in nearly every county in Kentucky. In my free time, which I usually have little, I love scuba diving (I've been doing it for well over 25 years), the outdoors, playing with my son, and watching unhealthy amounts of television. My office is available to answer all of your legal questions. If your issue falls under an area of law that isn't my own, I have a wealth of contacts that I would be happy to suggest.

Excellent Attorney
Paul was there every step of the way helping my daughter through an unfortunate situation. He was available when we needed him and if he wasn't, he never failed to return my call or text promptly. He answered all of our questions honestly and my daughter was prepared in court. The prices quoted were ...

Dismissed DUI in KY
Paul Hobbs is a one of a kind attorney. When every other attorney in Hardin/Jefferson County told me that my case was next to unwinnable, Paul was the ONLY person that was willing to fight as hard as me. After 7 months and multiple delays by the Commonwealth, I walked out of the Hardin County Courtho...

Excellent representation
Paul was very professional and knowledgeable about my case, and always kept me in the loop. Even though we both live in Louisville, he was willing to represent my case in Oldham County and was always there early and ready to meet me to go over my case. I highly recommend Paul Hobbs.

First Class Representation All-Around
Paul Hobbs was forthright, fast and reliable in my experience. His military background is a real edge when it comes to selecting representation because you know he'll go the extra mile. Even when I brought a charge that he was less experienced in, Mr. Hobbs worked through the challenges like a true...

NOT GUILTY!
Other lawyers told me that it was in my best interest to plead guilty and get something called "diversion." I'm a truck driver and I can't have a DUI on my record even for a second so I contacted Mr. Hobbs because a friend of mine referred him. He took my case to trial and I was eventually found not ...
