An Excellent Attorney

Paul Hales has represented me and my businesses for a number of years. He always has time for me when I need to talk and he has always given me good, practical advice. Mr. Hales does the usual things a business lawyer does like reviewing and writing contracts. But he does something more. He calml...y goes through the issues and helps me come up with practical solutions. I value his wisdom as much as I value his legal expertise.

Endorse Paul
Anthony James Dacey headshot
Anthony Dacey

Estate planning lawyer | Jan 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Endorsement: I endorse Paul Hales without reservation. I have worked with him on various matters and found that his experience and ability to think through and solve problems has been most valuable. I know how much he cares about his clients and how hard he works on each case. His background in litigation is a real plus in helping clients avoid situations that might lead to litigation. I like his theory that no one really wins a trial - one party just loses a little less than the other. He is a skilled estate planning, business and health care attorney. I have seen how clients find it easy to work with him as do other lawyers. He also does a lot of work in the community and has a genuine commitment to helping make the St. Louis Region a better place."

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.
