Staff is great

Hired this firm after my daughter was hurt in a car accident. Paul and his staff worked quickly to get my daughter in a rental car and to get her to doctors that could take care of her medical needs. They dealt with all the insurance and doctors to get everything taken care and always kept me and my ...daughter in the loop of what was going on with her case. Paul was always available to answer questions any time I texted him. Staff was easy to get ahold of, great about returning emails and phone calls and I really felt like they cared about my daughters health and getting her taken care of.

:)

I consulted with Paul after my car accident and I can only say great things about him. He took his time to explain everything and answer all my questions and also to get me the best compensation to help with all the damages that were caused by the accident. The staff is also very great and helpful ev...erytime I had to call with questions. They really made some good things come out of a bad situation. I highly recommend this attorney.

Best Lawyer in Las Vegas

Paul is the best lawyer around. I have never seen a lawyer who cares for their clients as much as he does. He did every single thing he said he would do for me with my car accident case and everyone in his office treats you with the same care that he does. If you need a lawyer and want someone who tr...uly cares and will fight for you until the end he is the lawyer for you!

Worth it

Once they got the process going they actually did pretty well. Dana did well when it came to staying on top of it to make sure that the insurance company doesn't drag this case longer than its has been and that we get the top settlement offers. So far they have proven themselves worth the business as... Dana had explained that all the hold up was with the insurance companies and not the firm.

Kindness too hard to find these days 100% Your Man

Wow !! that really sums it up but I will start when I first came into the office and I had just been in an auto accident and as I stand there checking in a man standing to my left in normal jogging clothing that I wasn't really aware of until I turned around to the side and he immediately he took ...my hand and said I'm Paul.. Mr. Powell and his team we're 100% behind me and there for me at a phone call away or a drop in at the office if you want a lawyer that cares that knows what he's doing he's your guy. He handled my car accident case as well as my daughter-in-law's accident case he even settled hers first. He'll tell you the truth and will give you your options .gives you time to process those options .he's very patient .he truly is a very kind man as well as a he'll of a lawyer..I am proud to say Mr Paul Powell is my lawyer.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2020

updated on 06/03/2021

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
