Reliable/Trustworthy Lawyer.

Paul Gordon has been my attorney for many years. I along with my family have received professional and knowledgeable information from Mr. Gordon. He has helped us in various difficult situations. He is understanding, sympathetic and ready to listen. He was very helpful in representing a family me...mber with his divorce. His honesty and trustworthiness is something I can always rely on with Mr. Gordon.

Lost his zeal for why he is an atty I think

I called Mr Gordon and left a message because I was having a dispute with my landlord. He called me back in about 30 min. I asked if he represented tenants(because a few I had already called said they didn't) His response was " yea if the tenant can pay me." Well I though it a bit crass but I said I ...did expect to pay as I am self employed I want to be paid for my work. He said well everyone that came from these type sites had no money. I reiterated that I was prepared to pay him and knew it would not be free to represent me. He didn't want to talk much on the phone but said his rate was $250 and he could see me at 2 the next day. So we set a 2 pm appt. In looking him up I noticed 2 things that steered me in his direction. 1. He was in Greenway Plaza 12 which is close to me and a respectable address I thought and he had 41 years experience. In the time I left a message for him I also call 2 others. One a female atty who seemed to like to be a champion for the under dog but with just a few years experience and a gentleman with a kind face and 18 years legal experience. I mean how does one choose? I decided to set the appt with Gordon due to his years experience. As my dad use to say" there is no substitute for experience" Well actually there is. There's a real caring for the human factor of the law. Helping people because it's the right thing not the most profitable. Mr Gordon asked for my $250 before my butt could even hit the seat of the chair. I truly felt I was having sex with a cheap hooker. His words " Lets take care of the money part first" I of course should have ran out the door keeping my money but you know that feeling like you are paralyzed and you just do what they say...that was me at that moment. He ask me to tell him my story but three words in he said "just tell me the fact" I tried to explain to him these were the facts but each time I began to speak he spoke over me and interrupted. He repeatedly told me that if I was a large company {like Exxon} that had a lot of money he'd be interested but mostly he pretended to take notes, rushed thru the 1 hr consult, and told me he would not be interested and it was a waste of his time. So the moral of this story is. The atty with 41 years experience and the stain from his lunch on his shirt, in a rent by the hour office is not the guy who cares if your landlord is trying to evict you and your 85y/o blind Mom unjustly. Look elsewhere please!

Paul Gordon Recommendation

My wine storage unit malfunctioned causing tens of thousands of dollars in damages. Despite the manufacturer and retailer’s claims that they explicitly carved damages to contents out of their responsibility, Paul worked relentlessly to get a settlement that made me whole for my damages. Without hi...s advice and hard work I would have taken a total loss.

Paul Gordon, Attorney

Paul Gordon, Attorney at Law, has been our family attorney for over 30 years. Mr. Gordon helped our family through some very difficult times. In the years we have known him he litigated a car accident, two divorces, and a deeply personal family issue. The most important quality Mr. Gordon gives to... our family is peace of mind. Paul Gordon’s style is exemplary. He listens, focuses, and asks the right questions. The highest level of integrity demonstrated by Mr. Gordon in handling our family’s legal needs served to restrain the emotional toll that affects a family when legal expertise is needed. When we needed Mr. Gordon’s legal services for a car accident he successfully litigated a fair settlement. In handling the divorces he created a setting that focused on the needs of the family members especially the children. The pivotal expertise provided to us by Mr. Gordon came when we needed him most. With a delicate personal family issue he knew exactly what to do. We relied on him and followed his instructions and advice. I believe that if it were not for Mr. Gordon’s proficient legal skill the outcome would have been devastating. In its place the outcome saved our family from lifelong grief. I highly recommend Paul Gordon attorneys’ services.

"I first met Paul as opposing counsel in a premises liability case. While he diligently represented his client's interests, he did so with integrity and professionalism. Unfortunately this is not as common an experience as it should be. I look forward to the next time we have a case together. Hopefully, on the same side!"
