So far so good!

I was in a pretty bad accident on October 2, 2016 and we promptly found Paul during an online search. We met with one of his men at our house and the next day met and sat down with Paul himself whom was very nice. They call when they need info and I call or e-mail them when I am updating them on prog...ress on my Dr. Appointments! If you're not hearing from them it is your job to contact them for information and be aware that you are not their only case! On another note, GEICO, the other insurance whom we are going after were extremely quick! We got a check for total loss on our vehicle the second week of being associated with the firm. I am not sure why others are having, or appearing to have a hard time with them, as I haven't had any issues. Sometimes it takes months to years for a settlement to be made! I am just thankful they are able to assist me in my medical.

Thankful

Paul did a fantastic job on my case. I was hurt and didn't really know where to go. I was referred to him from someone I know and I couldn't be happier with my results. The office staff made me feel important, and he was available to me whenever I needed him. He knew me by name and recognized my ...face every time I was in the office. I was very frustrated with the insurance companies early on, but he took care of everything for me. I am so thankful for Paul and his staff. They really helped me when I was hurting. Can't say enough good things about this firm.

Great Service

Paul did exactly what I'd expect a skilled attorney to do. I was left without anywhere to go once my insurance company put me in a tough place after my car accident. The insurance company knew I wasn't at fault, but they still wouldn't help. Paul was in constant communication with the insurance co...mpany and fought on my behalf. He fought for the money I needed to undergo medical procedures that alleviated my pain. Thanks to him and my medical providers I feel much better. I can't thank Paul enough.

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.

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.

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.
