Paul William Mollica's Lawyer Endorsements
"Paul is known as - and in fact is - one of the best attorneys in the business. While his former employee (and at that time also a brand-new attorney), his loyalty to preserving the Law's integrity inspired. Today, as both a fellow NELA/IL member and attorney in the very small circle of Plaintiff's Employment Law/Civil Rights litigators, his fiery commitment to the quality practice of law continues to impress for it moves us all beyond our professional limitations. His intellect is fastidious and incisive; his legal sharpness rarely matched. Through scrupulous (de)construction of the law's past, present, and future states (including the known, the unknown, and the somewhere-in-between), he masterfully heeds to the law's boundaries while he kneads and cultivates its landscape. It is here where the powerful significance of his legal contribution rises."
