Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Paul is an exceptional lawyer that works hard for his clients. He is always prepared, never takes a shortcut and will go the extra mile to protect his clients' rights. One of the few go to criminal lawyers in Southeast Texas. I endorse this lawyer."

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 31

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Paul is a zealous advocate for his clients. I have seen him have cases dismissed that a lesser lawyer would have pled out. He will hold the State's feet to the fire and try and win cases that should be unwinnable. If you are facing jail, you need Paul Fukuda on your side."

Avvo Rating

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.
