Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. I've know Paul for close to 20 years and trusted his skills to the point that he and his partner, Bill Harper, were my choice to represent my son following a serious accident. Truly, he should be at the top of anyone's list looking for a skillful litigator, and a person of character and integrity."
