This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent attorney

I became a client of Paul's after being struck by a car on a pedestrian crossing while on vacation from Europe. I assumed there would be a complication in dealing with an insurance claim from across the Atlantic however Paul, with integrity and professionalism, made certain that all aspects of the pr...ocess were dealt with promptly, efficiently and with a great deal of courtesy. Phone calls and emails requesting status of the case were answered swiftly and the conclusion of the claim exceeded my expectations in terms of monetary compensation. The choice of Paul as my attorney was one of the best decisions during the process of my recovery and I recommend him with pleasure.

Motorcycle accident attorney

I was in an accident and I had reservations about getting a lawyer however I called Paul Overett to explore my options and he immediately came off as a trustworthy capable attorney that I could trust. I was involved in an accident the police labeled as my fault and Paul ended up getting me over $20,0...00.00 If I had not had Paul on my side I would have had to pay up to 10,000 in damages to the other party in the accident because my insurance didn't cover past 10,000 and his damages totalled close to 20,000. I highly recommend his services to anyone involved in a motor vehicle accident no matter the circumstances surrounding the accident to at least weigh your options.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I recommend Paul Overett. Last year, my mother was the victim of a hit-and-run accident which caused her some injuries. She had attempted to negotiate payment of her medical bills and other expenses with her insurance company but wasn't pleased with how they were responding to her claim and felt their settlement offer was too low. I suggested she sit down with Paul Overett and have him evaluate whether he might be able to help her get a better result from the insurance company. He felt that he could get a better result if he were to handle the case. Paul was right -- he did get a significantly better settlement for my Mom. My Mom was really happy with Paul's bottom-line result as well as the way he treated her throughout the process. She said that she will absolutely recommend him to her friends who need a personal injury lawyer. I trust and recommend Paul Overett for personal injury issues."
