Thankful for Paul Harrell

From the moment I contacted Mr. Harrell, he listened, gave sound advice, and was always upfront and honest.  Mr. Harrell handled my case with care, class, and integrity.  He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, instead, he told me about all of the possibilities(both good and bad) which helped m...e to be better prepared for whatever the outcome was.  Mr. Harrell went above and beyond to research deeper and when it came to court, he was outstanding!  In the end, Mr. Harrell's determination, genuine care for his clients, and wealth of knowledge of the law and the judicial system was instrumental in our outcome.  If you want an attorney who truly has your best interests in mind and will work hard and fight hard for you, Mr. Harrell is your attorney.

Not guilty trial by judge

Mr. Harrell was a very compassionate attorney that represented myself with the utmost respect and ability. I am so happy for his service and time which he served on my case. I would and will and will always refer Mr. Harrell to anyone that needs a lawyer that will fight until the absolute end. Thank ...you again for your services.

Thank you Paul !

Paul is an incredible attorney. He took my first-time DWI case and worked diligently to get me the best possible outcome. And he did. Never been in trouble with the law before...I was scared to death! And I'm a older guy too. I could not be more proud of Paul's professionalism and his service to our ...country. Recommend him very highly !!

Case DISSMISSED!

I am relieved to receive this official notice and put closure to this chapter of my life.  I can now confidently move on from this matter.  It has been a long and challenging year since the related incident occurred. My family and I could not have asked for more, or a better outcome in this matter.  ...This was our families first time dealing with the legal system and we did not know what to do or where to turn. Our fears were put to rest when we found Mr. Harrell.  He explained everything that was going to happen and was always responsive to our questions and concerns. He took the time to explain our options so we could weigh the pros and cons of each and come to a conclusion together.  He was always available for questions and answered all inquiries.  He goes the distance for his client and explains everything in detail no matter how big or small.  I would highly recommend Mr. Harrell. He was a true professional at all times and knows his way around the court system. He went above and beyond what we expected and was fair with his billing as well.

Very satisfied.

Paul was straightforward with what we could expect with our case. I really appreciated that he consulted with me before I hired him, as the other lawyer I considered would not. He agreed to a reasonable payment arrangement, which helped a lot. Our case was cleared up within a month in a half with mu...ch better results than we expected. His partner, Zac Morris, is the one who actually came to court with us and he was very personable and down to earth...it made it an honestly enjoyable experience. If I ever need a lawyer again (and I hope not to!), I would definitely use them again.

"I have worked with Paul on a number of matters and found him to be an attorney that handles his cases with the upmost integrity. Paul has built a practice on outstanding service and unmatched representation of his clients.

  • 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.
