A MIRACLE worker!!!!

I had a MAJOR tax issue almost two years ago. I was scared and lost. I was introduced to Paul and he immediately went to work on my "Offer In Compromise". I'm not sure how he did it...but he save me over $35K in IRS bills. It was a long road but it paid off for both me and my family. Thank you Paul :...)

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.
