I am a former Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor, where I prosecuted felony criminal charges in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court and Juvenile Court.
I now focus the majority of my practice in the area of white collar criminal defense. I represent companies, business owners, and professionals accused of or under investigation for misconduct. White collar investigations are often accompanied by collateral civil litigation, which I also handle for my clients, including breach of contract, fraud, and general business and healthcare compliance matters.
I have successfully represented clients in both civil and criminal litigation in the areas of: construction, healthcare, real estate, securities, software fraud, regulatory inspections/audits, business litigation, employment discrimination, appeals, subpoenas & grand jury appearances, and fair business practices. I represent clients in both state and federal courts.
Because I regularly represent professionals or business owners, my clients' needs can vary greatly depending on the situation but I have the experience to handle a variety of legal issues, both civil and criminal. I can handle cases both big and small with efficiency and experience.

"I would recommend Paul to anyone, individual or business, in need of representation. He is a tireless worker and advocate for his clients, who are often in difficult situations. As a prosecutor, Paul has developed an excellent reputation with the Judges in Cleveland for being a skilled attorney. This reputation will be an even greater benefit to his clients now that he is in private practice."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've had the privilege on knowing Paul both, professionally and personally, for several years. While he was in the Prosecutor's Office, Paul was a formidable opponent, however, he was fair and consistent to ensure that justice was served. Since he went into private practice, Paul has utilized his prior experience and knowledge to effectively represent and defend his clients. Paul and I represented co-defendants in the past and I can say with confidence that he is very pragmatic in his approach and is well-prepared when he sets foot in the courtroom."
