This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Need more attorneys like him.

What you get is a seasoned expert who is thorough and personable. He reviewed a purchase agreement and saved us from a possible financial disaster. I recommend you look him up on google and read his great reviews.

excellent experience

I retained this attorney's services in early 2019 pursuant to an unfortunate dispute in which I became involved. Outstanding experience. He brings decades of legal expertise, tempered with a pragmatic, logical approach to the law and how it pertains to individual situations. Most of all, his caring... and compassion for his clients is obvious from start to finish. I challenge you to find better legal representation anywhere.

Excellent professional service

On Sep, 1st , I found Paul Connaghan online and he brought sanity and decency to a very complicated real estate transaction. He earned the respect of all involved parties and steered us away from a needless lawsuit. I would highly recommend him, he is well worth his hourly rate.

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.
