This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Paul is an expert on collateralized bridge loans with borrower's guaranty

Paul completely understood our legal situation which involved a bridge loan, and had an associated promissory note, a deed of trust and a borrower's guaranty, all three legal documents were originally drafted by the borrower. Paul provided significant betterments/protections and sagely substituted t...he Colorado Real Estate Commission form for the deed of trust. He instills confidence, explains issues in layman terms and guided us to a timely and successful closing. He is highly recommended.

Excellent lawyer

Mr Durr is a consummate professional. He is an expert negotiator, and has tremendous common sense. Mr Durr has assisted me with trusts, wills, business transactions and contract agreements. Tremendous business lawyer; I highly recommend.

Perfect for our needs

We needed assistance getting an estate settled where the attorney for the estate was very difficult to work with. Mr. Durr was excellent at working easily with a contentious person. We were so impressed with him that we had him plan our estate and get our papers in order. A year later Mr. Durr h...elped us with our Real Estate needs instead of using a realtor. He has always done a great job for us and been more than fair billing us.

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.
