Best of the best!

Paul no doubt had his hands full for 3 years with my case but he didn't ever seem weary. His knowledge and angles are impressive as they unfold. He is able to represent you in a way that makes your voice heard and he has class presenting it. His secretary Shannon is also very helpful as they navigate... through cases together. I would recommend Paul to anyone that needs legal services. He is the best, you won't find anyone better. Thank you Paul for your patience with my case and your representation!

Good advice

I contacted Paul during a messy divorce and he listened to me, considered the facts, asked questions and was able to give me the advice I was looking for. His legal staff are friendly, caring, exceptionally knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond for clients. I would recommend him to anyone!...

Terrible choice

He no showed the first appointment. He also did not respond to my emails, did not return phone calls, and was very unprepared for my mediation. He finally called me the evening before. And then still seemed confused in mediation about details I specifically addressed with him prior. There is no way ...someone can be that absent minded considering it was a discussion the evening before. This may just be just his job but this is my life and my children’s life. His indifference during my mediation affected the outcome. I unfortunately have experience in law/court with my situation and this is the most unprofessional experience yet. Just for the record, this is the first review I have felt incline to write. Attorneys are very expensive and the clients case should be taken seriously. The whole situation was weird, uncomfortable, and did not benefit my case in anyway. There are far better attorneys for family law, make a different choice.

Hire someone else

Paul seemed very attentive to my divorce case up until the provisional hearing, after which I rarely heard from him unless absolutely necessary. He did not respond to messages or emails. I started to feel like he didn't have interest because my case was not profitable, and there were times we spoke... in which he was down right demeaning to me. Despite hiring Paul to help me through the darkest time in my life, it was clear that to him I was just a number. He then quit my case before it was over.
