About Paul
Biography
I am a native Houstonian with deep roots in Texas. I am a husband and father. Before law school, I worked as a family crisis interventionist. I saw first-hand the myriad of family dynamics and learned the importance of providing the right kind of help to families.
I know that no two family law cases are the same. That is why I strive to provide personalized representation to each client. Clients expect more than just a lawyer when dealing with difficult and emotional matters. I have the extra-legal background to provide more than just legal representation. My work in family services and degree in psychology allow me to draw upon experience and education to provide advice and understanding to my clients.

Personable and professional. Excellent in court.
Mr. Calzada was available by email and I could even call his cell phone. He talked to me like a real person. He spent the time to explain my case and walked me through what was needed from me and what to expect. His offices were that of a very expensive high end attorney, but he never talked down to ...
