About Paul
Biography
Criminal Defense and Family Law is my passion...especially when I am in trial. From jury selection to closing arguements I feel most alive as a lawyer when in front of a jury. I also enjoy my co-workers. With four associate attorneys and a support staff, I am blessed to have a team of professionals that make me shine. I couldnt do it without them. Finally, I love to win. There is nothing more satisfying to me than seeing my hard work pay off for a deserving client.

After 3 Other Super Lawyers Failed, Michael and Jessica Phillips Performed
I would give Mike and Jessica 10 stars if I could. When Mike says he feels most alive as a lawyer when in a trial, he is being honest, and that alone sets him apart from 99% of his peers (while being honest makes him unique among all lawyers!) Jessica Phillips is Mike's fully effective teammate, an...

I cannot say enough good things about the professionalis...
