This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Avoid not professional

Took a retainer without an agreement, never provided billable hours statement, did not perform, acted by consulting outside third parties in violation of privacy. complaint was filed to the state bar.

Replied last September 8, 2025

I am sorry you had a bad experience with our firm. We strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. This is an anonymous review and does not correspond to any of my cases that I recognize. I try to address client concerns when made aware if them, but no client has reached out to me directly to make this kind of complaint, and so I am at a loss to understand what the problem was. I have never, to my knowledge, failed to provide a client with a "billable hours statement," if requested, for work done on an hourly basis, or "consulted outside third parties" without client consent in breach of attorney-client privilege. I invite you to reach out to me directly, offline, to explain your concerns and, hopefully, resolve them.

Best lawyer I've ever had the pleasure of being represented by

Paul represented my family and I on a complex immigration case. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Paul has gone out of his way to make sure my case was handled properly. He even made a house call on a weekend and is a pure joy to work with. In all honesty, I'm sure I frustrated him to n...o end, yet he maintained his patience and pleasant Attitude with me. His rate is very fair and I'm very thankful to have had his representation.
