Extremely helpful and friendly. Helped us resolve our case.

Paul was able to help guide us through a recent real-estate transaction dispute. I would highly recommend him and I would hire him again. He was super knowledgeable and friendly. He was there for us at every step of the process and helped explain all of the issues with the case. No question was ever too small or big, and he really cared about helping us resolve the case. Throughout the case, he helped us create reasonable expectations, and really fought to get us the best possible outcome. In the end, Paul was everything we wanted in a attorney, and he exceeded our expectations.

You want this guy!

You want this guy!

Choose Paul to handle this emotionally-draining, life-changing decision with the utmost respect and dignity! He is honest, thoughtful, and sensitive to your needs. His door is always open and be responds to emails promptly. He explains everything as you go thru the process, so there is nothing you won't understand the first time. I should have hired him the first time! (I chose a different one, in another state, that I had to fire for inadequacy and disrespect.)

Atty. Paul W Caprara - You can always count on him!

My family and I are completely happy with the kind of services that Atty. Paul Caprara had provided us. He was there all the way and very very responsive to all our questions and made us feel really secured, well taken cared of during the process. He's been very attentive to our needs and legal advises.

Paul helped me with my Chapter 13

Paul helped me with my Chapter 13 and is still helping with some changes that have transpired in the last few months. He kept the paper work to a minimum and was so helpful quiding me through all the forms. He has been so patient with me answering all my questions and explaining what all the different forms are for. I would recommend him in a heart beat.

Paul handled my Chapter 13 Case,which is still active. During the filing he was very thorough in making sure we were prepared for my trustee hearing and set up a plan that I was comfortable with. My case only required one appearance before the trustee. He is quick to respond to my inquires or any question I have. I appreciate the support he offers.

Excellent Lawyer

Paul made my bankruptcy chapter 7 process so smooth, kept me well informed. At our first meeting I was not feeling very comfortable about the whole bankruptcy process, but Paul made me feel comfortable when he explained the whole process, and what was needed from me. That made me decided to go for it. Best decision I made in the last couple years. Thank you Paul!!

Quick, personable, and efficient

Paul Caprara was recommended to me by a friend. After contacting him, we met at his office where I explained what I was looking for. He drafted a document based on my requirements, sent me a draft and we went back and forth for a bit, slightly tweaking the document. I was very satisfied with the outcome. I would definitely hire him again.
