Noting is to complex or hard for him to file.

My case was told to be not winnable because of the complexity. I presented facts to Paul and he assured me with the proper documentation and paper work that it would be fine. Everything went as it should. Paul has a reputation with the judges that decide these cases and it’s very good. During th...e session with the judge to decide it, it is a large group situation and you get to sit and hear other cases be heard. You sit and wait for you to be called. Everyone other case that I seen had issues where the attorney had to amend and make adjustments and be re seen again in the future. Then came time for me and it went smoothly and even said to my attorney he was thankful for the complete explanation of the facts and it was done. I couldn’t have been more happier and very pleased by my experience.

Mr. Rea was very helpful.

Hired Mr. Rea for a financial situation with special circumstances and he was very thorough. He explained the timeline for every step with the court and what to expect from the trustee and the judge.

  • 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.
