This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Did not like his service one bit, he was ineffective

Paul handled part of a case for me in 2015. I found him to be unprofessionally out of his depth and had to use a different attorney to handle my matter. His lack of experience coupled with that deer in the headlights energy is not a good combination for a lawyer. Avoid him unless you have something ...that is more paperwork than trial.

Awesome Divorce Attorney in Aurora

I hired Paul to represent me in a divorce. He was very professional, quick to respond and file paperwork, and very good in court. I would recommend Paul to anyone else getting a divorce.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
