About Paul
Biography
After 26 years of civil litigation, I opened a mediation practice. I work as a mediator in all types of disputes. My new website is . I have spent most of my career helping clients with claims against lawyers for legal malpractice and excessive billing. I have also helped lawyers defend against grievances, motions for sanctions, and, when they do no have insurance, legal malpractice claims. In addition, I have testified as an expert in the standards of care for attorneys and the reasonableness of lawyer fees and costs.

Paul Gordon is a good man
I hired Paul Gordon to represent me in a legal malpractice suit. I found Paul to be ethical, kind, prompt, and exact.

Bad attorney
Hired for a legal malpractice case. Lack of communication. Unorganized and unconvincing in front of judge. Failed to file documents in time, causing negligence himself, even though he was supposed to helping with a malpractice case. Then said he stopped practicing in this area and find someone else. ...

Took on my case then dropped me months later
I guess he had more important cases to take on as he agreed I had a lawsuit against my attorney, then months later said to hire someone else. No reason was given.

Paul Gordon Commits Perjury!!!!
I was a client of Paul Gordon 18 months ago in a DUI case. Paul Gordon does not respond to clients in a timely manner often times almost landing me in the hot seat of justice. I cannot recommend hiring Paul Gordon.

Paul Gordon's Lawyer Endorsements
Thomas Sullivan
Ethics and professional responsibility lawyer | Dec 30
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Spectacularly great legal malpractice attorney. When people go to an attorney because they feel that some other attorney wronged them, they need somebody who will listen patiently and carefully to them, and then be totally honest with them about the pros and cons of their prospective lawsuit. This guy does that perfectly. High attention to detail. Client's interest is his paramount concern. Absolutely recommend."
"I endorse this lawyer. Paul is our go to lawyer for Law of Lawyering issues."
"Paul is a terrific lawyer I've known for more than 20 years. He is one of the smartest, most thoughtful lawyers in our community."
"I endorse Mr. Gordon. He is an excellent attorney and will always put his client first."
