Fantastic attorney!

At the time I hired Paul, I was two years into a divorce that was costing me a ton of money and going no where. Paul took my case and helped bring it to a conclusion in a expeditious and professional manner that helped save me money and my sanity! Paul was fantastic to work with and I really fe...lt like he had my best interest in mind. I could not be more grateful to both he and his assistant Shaylee for the great work they did! I would absolutely recommend him.

Paul helped rescue my daughter...

I am in the Air Force and stationed overseas. Through some shady dealings my daughter was forced to stay behind in the states with my ex wife. A couple of months after i left the country my ex ended up in alcohol rehab. Because of my military status and living overseas I had a short window of time... to gain custody of my daughter. Paul seemingly to me dropped everything and helped me out because of the compressed time frame. I ended up with custody of my daughter and still have her safe with me to this day. I couldn't have asked for better, more personalized service than what Paul gave me.

Fantastic Lawyer

I can't recommend Paul highly enough. He represented me in my divorce and went above and beyond my expectations. His fee was extremely reasonable, and I've recommended him to friends and family who needed legal representation.

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.
