Practice Areas

Personal Injury 49%

This is my main caseload at this time. This mainly involves making insurers pay what they have promised to pay in their insurance policies. It is surprising to me how resistant insurance companies are to simply honoring their contracts.

49%

Family 15%

I have always handled divorce and custody cases throughout my entire career. These cases tend to be very draining because emotions run high, as do the lies and deceit. This is one reason I charge alot to get involved.

7 years

15%

General Practice 13%

I call myself a "generalist" as opposed to a "specialist," because most real world problems people face do not fit neatly into one specialty. It helps to have broad experience when advising people.

Criminal Defense 3%

I did mostly criminal cases in the early years of my career, so while I do not do much any more, I can, if needed.

7 years

Insurance 3%

I hate insurance companies, because they so rarely do what they promise they will do. I LOVE to make them PAY.

7 years

Probate 3%

The main job practicing probate law, is to arrange things so my clients do not need to probate anything.

7 years

Administrative Law 1%

Admin law is its own world, and not a very friendly one, as the government ususally wins. But it helps to understand it and to know how to fight government agencies using it. In my opinion, admin law should not exist, as it is unconstitutional.

7 years

Animal and Dog Bites 1%

The common law rule is: every dog is entitled to one bite. After that, its owners is "on notice" he has a vicious dog.

7 years | 1 case

Car Accident 1%

I have always handled car accident claims from the early days of my practice. I have seen the impact on people's lives and it is one reason I stay off the roads as much as possible, and drive very cautiously. This is Personal Injury work.

37 years | 100 cases

Consumer Protection 1%

This is typically called "DTPA" claims. I like doing them when a business has ripped you off,

7 years

Election Campaigns and Political Law 1%

I have run two campaigns subject to Texas laws.

32 years | 2 cases

Motorcycle Accident 1%

I have riddent motorcycles since age 10. I have fought for motorcyclist rights in the state legislature. Yet, I have never had a motorcyle accident case. I would like to.

7 years

Real Estate 1%

Lawyers do not have to be brokers, so anything a broker can do, I can do. This is why brokers will not share their MLS system with lawyers. They do not like the competition.

7 years

Slip and Fall Accident 1%

These are very hard cases to win, but I have done it. It is amazing how badly a simple fall can injure a person.

9 years | 3 cases

Spinal Cord Injury 1%

Spinal injuries are not really a separate specialty; they are common in auto accident cases.

Good lawyer.

He's pretty much your average Texas lawyer; strong conservative values and will tell it to you. He'll shoot you straight and not dance around with his words. Unlike some who I have talked to who I think dont really support certain freedoms or laws that are in their client's best interests and just wa...nt to make money off of you. Paul instead is a fair man who can get you the results you want. Good honest guy.

Excellent and honest

Paul helped me with my divorce. He did an excellent job representing me and I was pleased with the outcome. A couple of times I suggested some tactics and his reply was, " That would not be fair or right." His fees were reasonable. He followed up with me after the divorce a few times to see how I was... doing and helped me with some administrative matters that he did not charge me for.

Exceptional "general" lawyer

Paul is like no other attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I hired him to manage a DTPA case and he's been wonderful to work with. He's like a freight train of legal consultation. He takes his time to get to know you, your family, your legal situation and the real reason you’re sitt...ing in his office. He takes a while to get the whole picture and once he starts moving this man is your team mate and he can be relied on to give you excellent advice. Paul is an excellent general lawyer who values your natural rights. In a day and age when lawyers are “swipe and wipe” its good to know that there are a few out here in San Marcos area who still care.

Honest, kind and competent

Paul helped me with a difficult divorce. Quoted me a price and stuck to it event though he spent A LOT of extra time on it. He has reviewed contracts, handled worker unemployment claims and is available for the occasional "quick question" from me. I have referred friends to him and they thanked me af...terwards.
