About Paul
Biography
As a police officer, I conducted the types of investigations and written the reports that are used by law enforcement in a criminal case. As an assistant prosecutor I've had to use those types of reports to evlauate cases for trials and used them to negotiate pleas. I've seen a criminal cases from handcuffs to conviction. I know where to look and what to look for to see if a case is going to hold up. Let me put this unique insight to work for you. Call me for a free case review.
