Paul Gerald Hull

Paul has now closed two property purchases for me in Chicago and will continue to act as my lawyer for further purchases. I am based in Hong Kong and needed a trustworthy lawyer who could educate me on property purchases in Chicago, take initiative on my behalf, and communicate effectively despite t...he significant time zone difference. Despite the extra hassle of having an HK based client, Paul has maintained a high service level and stuck to a reasonable flat service fee.

We had a difficult time selling our South Loop condo; first prospective buyer failed to get approval of his mortgage loan application after six weeks of stalling from his bank and underwriters. Closing date was pushed back four times. Finally, we re-listed and had relatively smooth time with new buye...r. Throughout, Paul Hull was reassuring and ALWAYS available to us. We were so grateful for his legal skills and also his kindnesses and comfort! Still are, and most enthusiatically recommend him.

Paul helped us complete a recent home purchase. His assistance was critical, since we were not using a real estate agent for the transaction. He was knowledgeable and did a great job handling some wrinkles that came up during the appraisal process. I appreciated that he conveyed the right amount of i...nformation at the closing. The only area I thought he might improve was being a little more proactive at letting us know when some deadlines were coming due (e.g. I had to reach out about the funds escrow before he sent over the info), but he went above-and-beyond to respond quickly to my requests, even over a weekend. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family who were buying or selling a home.

I cannot recommend Paul Hull highly enough. He represented me when I was a first-time home buyer and his service then was exceptional. Four years later when it came time to sell my condo, I contacted him again and implored him to represent me. Paul is easily accessible by phone or email, always r...esponds in a timely fashion and is uniformly professional in his communications with clients, brokers and other third-parties. He was always on top of deadlines and went out of his way to help me with all matters relating to the purchase and sale of my condo -- even those not directly related to his purview. I always felt I was in good hands and I trusted him completely. Beyond that, his rates are incredibly competitive and fair. Even when I wanted to pay him more he declined! Paul Hull knows the business and was a perfect fit for someone (like me) who did not. He made what can be an otherwise stressful and complicated process anything but. You won't go wrong with Paul!
