Worst Attorney in USA... I got OVER the Maximum sentence with no priors and got a felony for a spec of sub
Even the prosecutors were laughing at how bad this attorney was, they felt bad for me. I did over the maximum sentence for a first offense I spent 6.5 months in Harris County Jail getting the crap kicked out of me since a certain race of people would only fight me with a minimum 5 of them to one of ...
Oh I forgot to mention Mr. Libby says that he had no criminal history. Here it is: file:///Users/jjpaull/Desktop/Office%20of%20Harris%20County%20District%20Clerk%20-%20Chris%20Daniel.html This includes an assault family member and a felony theft. This is all public INFO and Not Attorney Client Privilege.

Disappointed
I actually had another lawyer tell me I needed to write this review after he looked my case over and confirmed that Mr. Paull did absolutely nothing for me and I have a right to be mad. And yes, I am writing this anonymously as I am still dealing with the case. But be warned; Mr. Paull talks really B...
This Review is false. In this business you make enemies. I am a lawyer, I have pissed off a lot of prosecutors and in my time. Furthermore, about 2 months ago I got 2 accident involved DWIs dismissed. These dismissals severely limited the financial claims of the individuals who were in the accident as a result of colliding with my clients. As one can imagine there are many reasons someone who has it out for you would post a false review. Here is why I know it is false. My secretary went back and checked if I missed any ALR hearings as the reviewer claims. There are no missed hearings. Furthermore had I missed a hearing and charged a client for it, I could be reported to the State Bar. I have a spotless record as far as the State Bar, with no reports of misconduct according to AVVO. The Internet is a dangerous place for those of us who dare to stand up and make waves.

NO Court Room Skills
Mr. Paull represented me on a DWI case. He showed up late to court regularly, where I would have to call him to find out his ETA. He was extremely vague about discussing the details and strategy of my case and what appeared to put little effort into the case. He never returned phone calls and only me...
Anonymous reviews are what they are, anonymous and not credible. The way this is written it does not seem to be written by an actual client but someone that I got cross with a while back. I think my record of success and real reviews is what a potential client should look at.

Unreliable
Mr. Paull represented me on a DWI 3rd case in 2011. He showed up late to court regularly, to the extent that on one occassion the judge had me leave her courtroom to call him. He was elusive about discussing the details of my case and appeared to show little interest in the process or the outcome. He...
This guy failed to mention that he had 6 prior dwi arrests and 4 prior dwi convictions. It was plead as a DWI 3rd, I got him a 4 year probation instead of prison for what was actually his 5th DWI.
