Excellent and Understanding

Mr. Harrell is an outstanding attorney. He's really there for you and not just the money. He actually calls you back when you leave messages even if he's your court appointed attorney. If he says he will do something then he will. He promised to have my case reviewed in six months to possibly be rele...ased from prison early and that costs money and I didn't have but since he was my attorney he told me he will do the paperwork for me and get my case brought up and he did it. His secretary's that take your calls and messages are very nice and will also go out of there way to help you out mr Harrell is good honest lawyer who id recommend to anyone

Absolutely without a doubt the best Attorney!

My cases had been ongoing with charges that had occurred in multiple counties (which you could imagine was extremely stressful). While I was incarcerated my parents hired a true blessing to our family (Paul Scott Harrell). From day 1 I knew we had a real ball player, he explained everything from char...ge 1 to charge 6. He broke down all of the crazy legal terms to where I could completely understand everything that was going on. He kept me informed on absolutely everything the state wanted to do and everything we were striving for. He also asked me what I thought and what I would like the outcome to be at the end of all of this. Paul treated me as a person and a friend, not a criminal or just another client. Paul accomplished everything I asked for and then some. I'm so thankful we found Paul and strongly recommend him to anybody searching for an attorney, no matter what the situation may be. P.S. He beat all the cases I walked away felony free.

VERY HELPFUL!

Divorce is never an easy process but every step of the way Mr. Harrell has guided me on what I could expect during the process. From the first meeting on I have felt reassurred and well informed. There have been several times when I have called with questions or concerns and Mr. Harrell has always ...responded promptly to all my concerns. I couldn't have picked a better lawyer to assist me with the divorce. It has gone as smoothly as possible.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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. His clients should be thankful for having an attorney that provides both personal attention and excellent advocacy. I always look forward to having cases opposite of Paul because I know that having opposing attorneys that are trustworthy and honest will ultimately reduce the client's emotional and financial stress that a family law case can bring."

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.
